“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.”
"The biggest benefit is the ability to iterate on new tooling designs. To come up with a design, test it, improve on it and repeat until we get to a good final product has been very helpful."
"Stratasys PolyJet 3D printing has enabled us to create prototypes that mimic the final part in no time at all."
"Through our collaboration with Stratasys and the integration of their cutting-edge SAF and FDM technologies, we are setting new standards in the industry, ensuring every solution we offer is not only innovative but also sustainable."
"With SAF technology, we can produce highly detailed prototypes within 24 hours. Our rapid development cycle allows us to meet the stringent requirements of modern agriculture."
"The accuracy of the printer is vastly important for everything we do in the lab."
“In the development process of the latest generation of road buses, we printed parts that simulated the final ones to avoid stopping high-speed road tests in product reliability evaluation. This procedure accelerated the launch process by about one year: door finishes, mirror finishes, supports for electronic dashboard items, and even a complete seat structure simulating the final steel one are examples we used in this product."
“The products we produce haven’t just got to look good, they have to perform really well as well. When I came into the company and looked at how much we were outsourcing, one of the things I looked at was cost for things like tooling, but also the flexibility that if we have an idea, how we can change it and how to change it quickly.”
“I can definitely say that being able to integrate a lot of those features and simplify how we set up the model, how it gets mounted into the load cell, and how we can design them into the model has been a huge game changer. It just simplifies the testing process almost to the point where we’re being asked to do more and more testing.”
“This project showed that the Neo450s can withstand a lot of design requirements and be very dynamic and adjustable. I think we hit every mark.”
"For instance, when dealing with large-scale production of 20,000 parts, there could be a lot of back and forth. Therefore, we rely on our diverse technology portfolio to offer production flexibility."
“From receiving the part from the customer, we utilize GrabCAD for cost estimation, optimize packing arrangements, and quickly initiate the printing process. With real-time tracking within GrabCAD, we stay informed about job progress and anticipated completion time.”
“For us, 3D printing has always been one of the keys to our success because it allows us to transform everything we do in the virtual environment into the real world. This allows our customers have reliable and repeatable devices over time and to achieve excellent results."
“Thanks to J5 DentaJet printers from Stratasys, we can produce different devices using different materials at the same time. This includes biocompatible surgical guides, dental models, prosthetic models, and flexible gingiva masks for anatomical models all produced on the same print plate."
“The peace of mind of knowing that I can have dentures in a day or two, however long it takes for mail to get from Phoenix to Tucson, is just incredible. It’s amazing that they can do it that fast."
