Killa Design uses Ultimaker 3D printing to create iconic design that are fast becoming landmarks – including one of the most complex structures ever built.
Not every 3D printed part needs to replace a major production component or save hundreds of thousands of dollars on its own. Sometimes the biggest value comes from solving the small problems that happen every day on the production floor. In this case, Vestas used 3D...
Farason Corporation needed custom end-of-arm tooling capable of moving heavy, irregularly shaped products at high speeds—without exceeding the robot’s payload and inertia limits. Conventional machined solutions were simply too heavy, costly and time-consuming. Using a...
That’s the kind of impact Markforged additive manufacturing can have when it moves beyond prototyping and becomes part of the manufacturing process. MHM Automation brought production of traditionally outsourced components in-house using the Markforged X7, and reports...
Dixie Iron Works/MSI is a great example. After redesigning a simple nylon support ring for additive manufacturing, the company reduced its cost from $4.50 to just $0.47 per part and now produces 400 parts per week using Markforged printers. They didn't stop with...
RPG Industries faced exactly that challenge when a customer restoring a 1930s classic car needed a replacement for a broken carburetor component. A worldwide search came up empty, repairing the original wasn’t viable, and machining a replacement from scratch would...
Metal 3D printing is often associated with highly complex aerospace components or applications that simply can't be manufactured any other way. But sometimes the business case is much simpler. A manufacturer needs a specialized metal part. Traditional manufacturing...
Hydratune Uses Additive Manufacturing to Produce a More Durable Actuator Spline In-House For manufacturers operating in demanding environments, a relatively small machined replacement part can quickly become a major problem. When a component is outsourced, even a...
In special mission aircraft, cockpit customization is a necessity, but machining them traditionally often leads to a 65% scrap rate or weeks of lead time. Hangar One Avionics found a better way. Using the Markforged X7, they’ve transformed how they build center...
As a part of The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, The Central Virginia VA Health Care System's Assistive Technology team seeks to improve the lives of military heroes through innovation. Using a pen is important in everyday life. But while many take it for...
Garry Rogers Motorsport is Australia's oldest race care team, having secured several wins in the Bathurst 1000 and Dunlop Super2 Series. Read how they turned to 3D printing to increase speed and improve the performance of their race cars. [button...
