“By creating a precise, anatomically-accurate 3D printed model of the thoracic wall, we were able to plan and perform the resection on the 3D model ahead of the surgery. This meant a significant reduction in time under anaesthesia, and for our hospital, freeing up time in operating rooms saves costs.”

“Surgeons love these parts because of the speed and resolution. They are prototyping tools they can’t find anywhere else. I’m able to turn around their ideas within a matter of weeks compared to years.”

"We train students on additive, and at the same time help Consortium members integrate additive manufacturing into their internal operations in ways that make financial sense to them."

“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 …

“Introducing Stratasys FDM sacrificial tooling within the production process of the intake manifold allowed us to make it from carbon fiber instead of heavier, less efficient materials.”
