“We can now see our product being commercially scaled-up at least 100% faster than if we were using traditional manufacturing methods.”

“We will take a case, virtually we will provide an immediate extraction, plan the final and ideal implant position based upon the virtual wax up and then design and 3D print a surgical guide, At that point, the doctor can deliver the implant through the surgical guide precisely and efficiently …

“In seven days we produced perfectly matching gear set castings that met drawing requirements and specifications and were functional as part of the assembly.”

“The 3D printer has been a game-changer for us. The ability to 3D print curved production tools in robust materials made us realize the importance of having tools that perfectly fit the panels. Not only does it make the work of our operators much easier, it frees up resources and …

“When it came to meeting our criteria, we were unable to tick the boxes. We couldn’t improve our time-to-market goals using the few shades of white and grey possible, and the materials were too rigid for our needs."

“With 3D printing, we can be very quick in our process by developing a prototype component one week and then gather feedback from physicians the next week. The earlier in the development process you find and fix issues, the less expensive it is. That’s where rapid prototyping really shines, it …

“3D printing gives us the versatility to rapid prototype, test our device from a reliability standpoint and print case recreations. We take those learnings, go back to the lab, improve things, and are continuously striving to develop products that are both safer and more effective.”

“[3D printing] helps improve our manufacturing processes by enabling us to test fit everything. It gives us the ability to know that when we use these fixtures in production, everything will perform the way we want. 3D printing helps us produce a robust, repeatable process."

"The [Stratasys] J750 allows us to create models with both texture and color variations that mimic actual tissue handling and appearance better for these complex models.With the Connex, we can simulate realistic layers of human tissue like skin, bone, dura, brain and tumors within the printed model for surgical simulations.”

“In the last three years, there has been a huge momentum increase in 3D printing at Dunwoody and students want programs centered on it."

“We have been using the Stratasys 3D Printer for two years now with almost no trouble at all. It is extremely reliable and easy to maintain."

“Surgeons would only need to sterilize the mold and form the implant shape by pressing the two parts together, resulting in an accurate customized implant."

“We can now make multiple prototypes in a day, whereas outsourcing a prototype had taken days. Also, because it can be done on our own, we can control priorities: If a model needs to be available today, it will be ready. He added that the on-site 3D printer speeds up …

“We’ve been able to see orders of magnitude savings both in cost and schedule on all of these parts because the part builds are very consistent, the material properties are well understood, and the build parameters are becoming better understood.”

"We can 3D print a tool in just two-and-a-half hours and at 80% reduced cost. In addition, I estimate that, using this technique, the quality of the part has improved by 30%. This is a game-changer for our business."
