“The 3D Printer offers us the enhanced geometric freedom to create previously unthought-of 3D printed tools, which then enable us to manufacture extremely complex parts that would be uneconomical or just physically impossible to create by any other means.”
"Due to the spine’s severe deformity and the difficulty in inserting screws, the 3D printed jigs served as a crucial component to execute the surgery safely and without complications. The 3D print aided in surgical planning by calculating the size of the bone pedicles through which screws were put."
“We needed highly accurate, multi-material 3D printers; the Fortus adapts well to industrial applications and the Connex is useful in medical applications.”
"3D printing allows us to produce a customized tool within a day, compared to several weeks, meaning employees can focus more on producing the model trains instead of manufacturing tools.”
"The ability to address all these areas of design and production with one 3D printer makes for a much better return on investment.”
"The 3D printed duct led to a significant cost reduction compared to machining the part out of aluminum, as well as a 63 percent reduction in overall weight.”
"The strength of the part was instantly clear. It withstood all the tests on the machine, and its durability was impressive. Now our customer is using six of these replacement pushers on its machines to huge success."
“The Warsaw Medtronic site has utilized FDM printers to help many projects achieve faster speed-to-scale reaction times by reducing the process development times and cutting costs.”
"Time is everything. With 3D printing, if a change notification comes through and a jig needs to be changed for the various production processes to work, it can be designed, printed, and ready within twenty-four hours vs. two to three weeks with our internal machine shop or six to eight weeks with an outside vendor at a significant savings."
"The J750 directly meets our objectives to enhance hospital operations and improve clinical outcomes. Using 3D printing increases lab and operating room efficiency and saves the hospital vital expenditure."
"The 3D model was instrumental in determining the optimal surgical approach. It allowed us to go into the case with a solid plan based on the best information we could obtain."
"3D printed parts have led to a significant cost reduction compared to machining the part out of aluminum, as well as a 50 percent reduction in overall weight. We estimate that we have already seen a ROI within just 18 months.”
"Stratasys offers additive manufacturing materials that comply with European ESD standards and enable reliable and repeatable 3D printing.”
"It’s fast paced. We innovate products for a variety of vehicles, and it’s very exciting being at the forefront of technology."
“Every time we avoid cutting a tool, we save 8 to 12 weeks.”
