“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."
“3D printing provides an innovative solution to not only better understand the nature of problems in the neurosciences, but transforms the delivery of education to healthcare providers and the patients we serve.”
“Customizing low volume production parts using FDM 3D printing has been transformational for our customer service offering, as well as our supply chain. Not only are we taking orders on-demand, 3D printing has also given us the flexibility to meet customer requirements faster with no obsolete parts created in the process.”
“With this new wave of materials, both color and higher finish, better flexibility and mechanical properties really allows us to get closer to final prototypes and final products right off the machines.”
"Not only did the use of additive manufacturing slash the production leadtime on the preform tool, but we also expedited the whole traditional composite molding process."
“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.”
"This technology has transformed our prototyping process and delivered efficiencies that we could previously only dream about."
"Stratasys PolyJet 3D printing has enabled us to create prototypes that mimic the final part in no time at all."
"Our customers are continuously asking for quicker delivery and shorter lead times, and now that we have seen what 3D printing technology is capable of, we hope to expand our services with the technology in the future."
"The Objet30 prints prototypes that closely simulates end products. The quality is such that you cannot distinguish between the models and the end products, thus enabling us to exhibit them at shows."
“We produce five to 10 jigs or fixtures per month and each one typically saves dozens of hours for each assembly that we produce.”
“FDM helps us by delivering better coils in less time at a lower cost.”
"We’ve also tested the possibility to overmold metal inserts on parts produced with FDM. We tested this approach on our handling case study and had a lot of success – decreasing assembly time quite significantly. This is one of a few areas where we can see immediate opportunity to enhance with additive manufacturing."
"3D printing transformed the way we conduct experiments. It is now much easier to create precise models for validating hypotheses."
“The Dimension 3D Printer is one of the best. The models it produces using ABS thermoplastic are also more durable than acrylic or resin.”
