“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.”
"[With 3D printing], we are raising the standard of care and doing it quicker and more accurately than they did before."
“There’s no end in sight to what we think 3D printing can do for us. We plan to incorporate it into our production facility as much as we can going forward. The balance of strength and surface finish is unique to Stratasys equipment and materials.”
“By being able to print the mold components, we can supply our customers with prototypes in a matter of days rather than weeks – and it’s actually less expensive.”
“Coloplast came to us with a situation where their marketing department wanted to launch a new product, but needed to test out the design before it actually went into a production tool build.”
“3D printing has motivated students to be as creative as they can be, and given them a great tool to visualize their designs.”
“The 3D Printer enabled us to build strong and durable parts in an efficient manner, saving us time and resources to focus on improving the design of the Gecko.”
“To keep Ducati at the forefront of engine design, we sought a technology that could make accurate, durable prototypes quickly.”
“3D printing accelerates the lesson, focusing students on the design and engineering, rather than personal craftsmanship. And students can use more complex geometry and curves, because they are not limited to what they can do with subtractive methods and hand tools.”
“We’ve been in the clear aligner market for quite a while but only in small quantities. What we’ve needed is a faster printer, one that could produce on-demand and didn’t require high levels of expertise to operate.”
“Some of the mounting geometries on the submarine are very difficult. We could not have designed a solution with subtractive technologies. 3D printing was the only technology that could provide a solution.”
“Our ability to provide a printed sample soon after the customer inquired showed many of these customers how much time they could save by using a rubber mask.”
“This new demonstrator is enabling us to look to the future where our production center could look like a 3D printing server farm, where there’s just rows and rows of Stratasys Continuous Build 3D Demonstrators. That’s where our minds are going because the FDM Technology is that good from a design and cost standpoint.”
“When it came to building Onewheel, one of the things I was excited about was that we could actually use 3D printing to make components that we could bolt onto a Onewheel and test ride right away.”
“The stability of the ASA material also played a large role for us. We needed a fully functional prototype that could perform in all tests and withstand the strain of the design. The tough and rigid properties of the Stratasys material was therefore an ideal fit to test the TransRoPorter’s functionality for its journey to Mars.”
