“The products we produce haven’t just got to look good, they have to perform really well as well. When I came into the company and looked at how much we were outsourcing, one of the things I looked at was cost for things like tooling, but also the flexibility that …

“Additive itself is not the end game - it’s not what will change the industry and flip it on its head. Additive is a good fit in that it’s an enabling force to manufacture designs that will be increasingly and exponentially complex and integrated at the system level. It is …

“The Origin One 3D printer allowed us to make several initial options for our client to choose from and then make tiny tweaks, almost in real time, without delaying the project or incurring huge expenses. By prototyping on the same machine that will make the final parts, we had extreme …

“These are hollow parts with complex geometries that need to be sealed. As an example, the air duct was manufactured using the Stratasys additive manufacturing sacrificial tool procedure. We were able to remove the tool easily without leaving seams inside of the part because the complex tool is built in …

“Critical for the optimum inner surface quality of the part and means that functionality is improved, compared with traditional sacrificial tooling methodologies that use multiple parts bonded together to achieve the same shapes.”

“Our motto at Syqe is ‘Don’t think, print.’ 3D printing throughout the product design phase accelerates your thinking process and gets you to the end result faster.”

“Now our customers can make instant decisions about the ergonomics of a product − about the touch and feel − as well as test how it fits into its environment.”

“I’m just glad that we have the J750 in-house. We wouldn’t do it any other way.”

“It used to take three weeks to receive our 3D printed SLA models. Now it takes just 48 hours with PolyJet technology, meaning it is 10 times quicker for us to create surgical guides. This has been a game changer for our customer service, enabling us to provide our patients …

“It’s great for students to get an understanding of what’s needed in the workforce and then get the skill set they need in order to succeed.”

“We save in excess of $150,000 per year with FDM. I can’t imagine not having this technology in a manufacturing setting. It is as critical to our business as e-mail.”

“We can make as many prototypes as we need until we achieve our design goals.”

“We can make as many prototypes as we need until we achieve our design goals. It allowed us to optimize the fit of the cap stopper and pouring performance of the best-selling Thermos mugs.”

“These 3D printed models have tremendous value in developing surgeons’ skills students agreed the 3D printed heart models were tremendously helpful for them.”

“We practice some very complex surgeries such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome. These are tough operations to do, involving complex three-dimensional geometry using patches. It’s just fantastic for these trainees to have an opportunity to get the feel of it and learn to cut patches and learn the sequencing on …
