"We had a 100% return on investment within six months of purchasing the printer."

"Every month the pad handling machine isn’t up and running, we’re missing out on over 15% of increased plant throughput."

"Before introducing additive manufacturing (AM), when customers asked us to make a special radius, there was a lot of guesswork involved, and occasionally we had to reject the project. Now, we’ve completely shifted our way of looking at requests. We can easily prototype and see if it works with the …

“What you can get away with using additive manufacturing - you can't with subtractive manufacturing. The ease of additive manufacturing accelerates the student’s ability to go from concept to parts. However, our job is to teach students both additive and subtractive manufacturing, along with the strengths, weaknesses, and interchange between …

"Additive is a situation where if you’re not engaged, if you’re not learning, if you’re not driving innovation from it, you’re going to miss the boat.”

“We got a handle on best practices and things to keep in mind when trying to design or adapt a design for additive manufacturing.”

“I’m tasked to ensure Dana uses additive more frequently or in a better way.”

”The good quality of the composite parts of the X7 opens some very good opportunities in terms of tooling and fixtures.”

"Compared to a traditional CNC, you can try more complicated shapes or take more design risks with the Metal X."

"Being able to prototype more efficiently and get finished products to market more quickly will keep us on the forefront of the industry."

“Print thin enough and stiff enough to prototype the type of parts we’re looking for."

“The biggest advantage of additive manufacturing is that it unleashes your creativity and your ability to quickly create solutions to customers’ problems. You can’t innovate that fast with traditional manufacturing methods.”

"Once we realized the directional strength properties available with the Markforged products, we haven’t used anything else."

"Explaining why we use Blacksmith is simple. Blacksmith does the same thing that the old manual inspection process did. The difference is that Blacksmith digitizes the process which makes it faster, easier and more reliable.”

"You recover your ROI in a single output, which changes the manufacturing model."
