Learn how Oklahoma State University and Purdue University students use 3D printers. We often report on the various tools, fixtures and production parts that so many companies around the world are making with Markforged technology. But it's not just companies that benefit from additive manufacturing. Universities are beginning to educate students about 3D printers [...]
"The components made of the base material onyx have proven to be very wear-resistant and break-proof even under extreme conditions. They can therefore also be used in the sandblasting sector without hesitation. Compared to milled components, a weight reduction of over 60% has been achieved. The lead time for production is now only a [...]
Why design something new when the old ideas often just need a fresh coat of paint? 3D printed components in the motorcycle manufactory AUTOFABRICA LIMITED for beautiful unique motorcycles. Traditional craftsmanship meets modern 3D printing technology. AUTOFABRICA uses Markforged Industry 3D printers to print various components such as the battery box, headlight housing and [...]
How 3D printing can help in the fight against the corona virus 3D printing can help shorten the supply chain, but is not a panacea. We are at war against the coronavirus - COVID-19. In times of war, logistics and supply chains are crucial for success - and ours are so tight that they [...]
PTZ Prototypenzentrum GmbH in Dresden has been producing prototypes in metal and plastic for the most diverse industries for over 20 years. PTZ has a lot of experience with various additive manufacturing processes. For particularly demanding applications, no solution was found - until the components could be manufactured additively on the Metal X. This [...]
"Just recently I was asked in an interview whether Additive Manufacturing will take over "machining" production in the future." This is a very common question, a prejudice but also a fear of 3D printing technology. Conventional manufacturing technologies such as CNC machining have proven themselves over decades and will of course continue to [...]
The products of our customer Shukla Medical are designed for orthopaedic surgeons and have time-saving features such as quick couplings and several extraction options. "We are now able to manufacture prototypes more efficiently and bring products to market faster, so we will continue to lead the industry! - Zack Sweitzer, product development manager [...]
Our customer Hockley Ltd specialises in the design and manufacture of composite tools, production and assembly tools, jigs/fixtures and a wide range of associated products for the automotive and aerospace industries. Backed by a forward-thinking board who believe in investment, the group has made several strategic purchases in the last 18 months. "We have [...]
Read the case study now Our customer from Germany, Primetall GmbH, needs individual jigs for some components in order to clamp them on a laser welding machine. These jigs were previously made of aluminium and were very heavy and expensive to manufacture. In the process of some considerations, this jig was optimized [...]
Guhring UK - Reduction of lead times through additive manufacturing “As we started looking at supplying smaller volume customers, it became an issue,” says Alan Pearce, PCD Production Supervisor at Guhring UK. Each piece of special tooling Guhring UK makes needs to first be designed and approved by the customer. Depending on [...]
