“Apart from using ready-made implants, which is the most common surgical approach at present, 3D printing has provided us with an alternative and more precise way to reconstruct different orbital bones. Customized molds can be 3D printed within three to four hours and we can simply press the two halves …

"The initial reaction from the Army was that this is the most realistic trainer they have ever seen."

“Everything that we do in the development of an orthodontic appliance—whether it be a palatal expander or a Herbst appliance to correct an overbite—is based on a physical model. With the advent of intraoral scanners, it became clear that printing dental models with a 3D printer would be faster, more …

“The new SUP706 support material is a game-changer for making medical models because it drastically reduces the time required to remove support from complex geometries and internal passageways.”

“3D printing technology helped us advance the design and development of the Altura Zenith drone far more quickly and at a much lower cost than would have been achievable with conventional methods.”

“With our Stratasys J750, we 3D printed the entire working prototype in one go with all the color specifications our customers required, while reducing the production time by 40%.”

“When evaluating products for design and functionality, this exceptional level of realism and multi-material capability at the prototyping stage is a major advantage for customers, aiding decision-making and accelerating time-to-market.”

“In founding Ambionics, it is my goal to ensure that limb deficient children like my son are not faced with the current constraints and delays of traditional prosthetic manufacturing. 3D printing enabled us to design and print a solution very quickly and cost-effectively.”

“We’ve had kids that were barely hanging in there in school and 3D printing is what really lit them up and got them to the point where they were on the path to a high-paying career.”

“3D printing injection molds enabled us to quickly produce functional prototypes that we could test in the field, dramatically reducing our time to market.”

"Additive manufacturing allowed us to overcome tooling and traditional manufacturing limitations and produce unusually shaped parts on demand, cost-effectively. We had the parts produced and in our hands within several days – something that would have been physically impossible without Stratasys’ 3D printers."

“It was clear that it would have been impossible to achieve the level of realism required in such a short time frame with conventional, hand model-making. This was always a job for 3D printing.”

“Our goal with this project was to show the aerospace industry how quickly you can go from designing and building to flying a 3D printed jet-powered aircraft.”

“FDM technology and ABS thermoplastics have been a great combination for us. They provide us with the efficient solution to help us optimize our design and improve market delivery time by 10 to 15 percent.”

“The efficient process allows us to do more iterations than we could with other processes. That results in better-designed components."
