“Our products, the way we make them and, ultimately, our customers, benefit most when we exploit the possibilities of 3D printing to the fullest. A partnership like the one we have with Materialise delivers just that. We’re plugged directly into the latest thinking, best practice and newest innovations.”
“This way we can reduce the number of parts in an assembly, add functionalities and make parts that would have simply been impossible to create using traditional methods. Most of the times now, when we send a design file to Materialise they can send it straight to the machine for printing, where in the early days they would have had to modify and improve them. It has become a very efficient process, one which also means Materialise can focus on helping us with more specific or unusual design challenges as and when the need arises.”
