“Every feature is more or less conventional, but putting them together in a single compact and competitive mechanism is really a challenge.”

“The ABS-like properties of 3D Systems’ SLA printing allowed us to go smaller on some of the detail elements while giving us stronger parts with better elasticity than we would otherwise get.”

“We came up with another idea recently We started transferring another group of parts to the Integrex, but with these, the grooves don’t start at the end of the part, at the part zero, but at some distance from it. We needed to enter another variable, an offset from the …

“3D printing has become my one of my routines. It is very attractive technology that allows us to print whatever idea we have in mind, and produce it in full color.”

“The main purpose of using 3D printing is to communicate better with R&D before they build the actual mold to produce the tire. The traditional molds are machined and cost a lot of money and time to develop, but that’s also been the conventional way to figure out a new …

“For us, because of [3D Systems’] additive manufacturing technologies, we can design or make anything we want to or anything we can imagine. This technology can eliminate the limits of manufacturing, which is really great for us. With traditional product design for example, building and machining, there are a lot …

“We are saving hundreds of man hours each year using the 3D laser scanner and Geomagic Design X to scan cars and design new exhaust systems directly from the scan data, and we’re doing it more precisely and with higher customer satisfaction. Our customers don’t have to leave their cars …

“That’s the magic of in-house 3D printing. I am less stressed in my design and am able to achieve goals that are impossible using a traditional approach.”

“By stacking parts we are able to print in batches of 100, and have reduced the time it takes to prepare a build from 30-60 minutes to just 6-10 minutes. The combination of stacking and production-grade materials makes Figure 4 ready for production.”

“Our goal was to make every component of this car the best that it can be. The Rodin FZERO can only be manufactured with additive manufacturing.”

“We learned through the prototyping process that DuraForm GF actually worked very well acoustically. It has almost a ceramic-like quality to the touch, which helped us both structurally and sonically. As designers, we could freely exploit SLS production to create the internal structure, but also design something that looked as …

"It cleans and aligns the textures perfectly for 3D printing. For a researcher, it's important that the textures are in the right place or it's not worth doing it. This is also a very precise and unique way of measuring objects. It's something archeologists have always tried to do but …

“Race after race, new components made of complex composites and aerospace alloys see the light after surviving a harsh selection in the R/D and simulation labs.”

“Once the team got their 3D Systems machine, they began using it to develop component prototypes with a size-fit function. The use of solid imaging technology then gradually expanded from rapid prototyping to wind tunnel model manufacturing, allowing our Aero Department to grow from 11 to 80 employees. In Wind …

“The first SLA System parts were installed in a racecar in 2001 and following their success, we have continued to explore the boundaries of these materials. Since the launch of our Advanced Digital Manufacturing (ADM) Centre in 2002, 3D Systems’ technologies have become an effective new manufacturing process that enabled …
