"The Neo800 is very much at the heart of our vehicle development process – from design to production. We tend to make around four car sets of most components before the next iteration is released, which supersedes the previous version."
“[Students] love to see what’s on the screen come to life, and because of the iterative nature of the 3D printing process, they can design and build again, which gives them motivation to understand analysis techniques.”
“Now, we can comfortably ship the number of units we have on order, without worrying about immediately tooling something up. The parts are rugged and robust and look great, like a finished product.”
“When you incorporate business partners into the educational environment, it raises the bar.”
“China Eastern Airlines plans to introduce the new Airbus 350 which is equipped with over 1,000 3D-printed flying parts. As a complementary method to the traditional manufacturing, 3D printing will become more widely adopted in the future. It’s critical to gain the expertise and be well-prepared for future challenges.”
“We have had a mindset change with our engineers. Now they are not willing to live with one prototype and hope it works.”
“We needed highly accurate, multi-material 3D printers; the Fortus adapts well to industrial applications and the Connex is useful in medical applications.”
“This machine is particularly suited for high-accuracy applications. This printer can generate layers of two hundredths of a millimeter. Depending on the material used, we can print more flexible objects.”
“The ability of Dimension 3D Printers to quickly and inexpensively produce parts that are strong enough for use in real applications opens up a world of opportunities for schools.”
“Using Stratasys 3D Printing technology to customize and supply parts to customers and to allow self-expression within a single car is, I believe, a first.”
“By adjusting the umbrella in the artery, we can be certain that the embolic protection device will, in fact, cover the area of the entire vessel. If that doesn’t happen, there is a risk the catheter will touch the walls of the vessel and dislodge embolisms. This could lead to problems for the patient.”
“If we wish to work with a prototype that behaves similarly to an artery, it must have elastic properties. Printers that work with only rigid materials would not be functional for this use.”
“We also use this machine in the process of developing heart pumps, which demands materials very different to those used in the blood vessel prototypes.”
“We have used FDM Technology for almost as long as the company has been established.”
"I can see our 3D printer enabling us to better train staff and surgeons of the future, and ultimately becoming even more integral to all aspects of the dentistry we practice.”
