"When using the H350, we have seen cost savings across the entire product development process of up to £22,000 against those of injection molding methods, as we are eliminating tooling costs completely."
“We always try something new, We listen closely to our customers’ needs and explore materials. Essentially, the application drives the material choice, and the choice drives us to buy technology and implement the required internal process.”
“Sodimas is focused on the niche elevator business, developing a relatively small series of customized solutions. We need to innovate a great deal, and that’s why 3D printing is so important to our company."
"We’re able to reduce scrap, improve quality, and reduce our lead time. Overall, it really enhances our bottom line."
“When we first adopted this technology, it was a bit of a challenge to get people to accept what was possible. There were some naysayers at first as well as some apprehension on whether we could use AM for various applications. We really had to go forth and prove out different materials and things that could add value.”
“We create additive parts and solutions for ergonomics, whether it be for reaching or for lifting or comfort at a workstation. It’s more difficult to dollarize the savings you get from ergonomics but there is definitely value that should be realized.”
“There are a lot of tweaks and options to make it better, but I wouldn’t change the material or the production method.”
"PolyJet technology has completely transformed our workflow—what used to take hours of labor is now fully automated, allowing us to focus on higher-value tasks and deliver even better results for our clients."
“Sound waves like to behave in strange and unintuitive ways. You really want to control and engineer this behavior in order to achieve the performance that you're after.”
“Cost reductions like these have allowed us to quickly prove the ROI we expected when we invested in Origin.”
“We had to do a series of adjustments, but when we dropped the frequency to the same range as POCUS, the clinical unit began to show the lesion. A low frequency setting is what allowed us to see the materials inside the model.”
“What I’ve wanted to do is produce patient-specific models so that residents and medical students can train on something that will match what their experience is going to be with the specific patient. I wanted the printing resolution that would make the School of Medicine leadership see the model and say, ‘Wow. It’s incredible that you can do that.’”
"Our creative freedom in the design process is so much larger than it was in the past. It really allows us to answer the question of design intent and what it is we want to do, not what we are bound by with the traditional constraints of manufacturing."
"It’s needed. In-house, large-scale fabrication is advantageous. We’re cutting a year of fabrication time down to six weeks."
"3D printing allowed us to quickly meet our design requirements and inch our way up to a much more reliable product. It’s lightning speed compared to what it used to take to get from one version to another."
