“Before 3D printing, the surgeon had to shape the bone cement implant by hand. The aesthetic results were poor, the operation lasted longer and the outcome was less sure. With 3D printing, the outcome is much better because the implant is tailored to an individual’s CT scan.”
“Using VeroClear™, we can express even the gentlest curves and bends without leaving any fine grains.”
“You always want it to be as light as possible, but you also want it to be strong enough that it’s got your safety factors, that nobody’s going to get hurt.”
“Students need to know how to problem solve, how to think critically about the things presented to them, and maybe more importantly, students need to know how to fail. If students don’t know how to pick themselves back up again and see failure as an opportunity to grow, they won’t be as successful trying to accomplish what comes next, college and career.”
“When I started teaching the STEM English curriculum, I wanted to incorporate as many of the skills they’re learning in their engineering class as possible. Nowadays, everything is skills based, so it’s not ‘did you read this book,’ it’s ‘did you learn how to write a research paper, did you learn about analysis and characterization?’ I teach those same skills, just in a little different way.”
“It would not have been possible for a company of our size to design and build this product using conventional manufacturing methods.”
“With our Fortus 450mc 3D Printer, we produced a fully-functional prototype ready for testing in just two days, reducing our lead times by 95% in comparison to conventional methods.”
“With voxel printing that has the capability of a trillion voxels in the space of the printer and six different materials, the number of possible combinations is six to the power of a trillion, which is an astronomical number.”
“Being able to have a 3D printer like the J750 that’s repeatable and accurate with this full range of color and materials has afforded us the idea of being able to achieve this shot-by-shot customized animation.”
“We can observe finer details in the printed parts, identify design errors earlier and ensure best-in-class products for our customers in half the time and cost.”
“The Objet Eden260V 3D Printer helps us optimize the dental modeling process by producing high-quality models, rapidly and precisely. 3D printing is critical for digital dentistry.”
“We traditionally produced our fixtures on our milling machines, which took up a lot of time and held up production throughput. Since the installation of our new Stratasys 3D printer, we can have the fixture ready the next day, which results in a 90% time savings.”
“3D printing enabled us to quickly identify design flaws overnight instead of waiting for days or weeks.”
"The multi-color and multi-material bio-models assist surgeons to uncover hidden tissues and blood vessels that may be blocked by larger organs in the 2D scans.”
“The developer was happy about the money they saved and even happier about being able to get their sales people on the road with a scale model one month earlier.”
