Prototypes and Development

Sonic Communications Cuts Product Development Time by 75% while reducing dependence on their machine shop

Electronic industry

FESTO relies on 3D printing with Markforged for their electronics component manufacturing’

Prototypes

Guhring UK is printing a second metal prototype and can use it for initial cutting trials, which is a major competitive advantage.

Tool production

The aim is to better serve existing markets and open up new markets.

Production Tooling

Zero Tolerance reduce cycle times with 3D Printed tooling

Hydraulic Post Driver

Stanley Black & Decker has replaced a four-part assembly with a single, ready-to-use component. The cost and time savings are huge.

Robot Gripper

Additively manufactured robotic grippers save BEULCO ÂŁ200,000 in 1.5 years.

Production parts

3D printing in production is a reality for Clenaware Systems – end use parts parts on-demand from the 3D printer. Reduce lead times.

Tooling

How Cashco increased production rates while keeping its toolmakers happy.

Resources

The challenge with 66 different saw blades is to make production as productive as possible despite the high variety.

Spare Parts

Serial spare parts production with industrial 3D printing at mayer-technology GmbH & Co. KG

Automation

The requirements for printed components for robotics are stability and, at the same time, the lowest possible weight.

Exploration Robots

Functional parts that do not require any post-processing makes Markforged an ideal additive manufacturing technology.

Lifting tool

Wärtsilä manufactures the world’s first 3D-printed CE-certified hoist and can lift a whole 960 kg (with safety factor 4)!

Spare Parts

Learn how DUNLOP has achieved a very fast ROI and why they believe that technology will play an important role.

Automation

The aim of erler GmbH was to bring the added value in-house in order to obtain more flexibility, independence and economic efficiency.

Medical parts

A new product launch turns in to so much more – Compensation of supply chain delay and faster and cheaper production preparation.

Automotive parts

RPG Industries, Inc. needed a new carburettor cover for a classic car, but it was no longer available anywhere in the world! A conventional production was simply too expensive.

Circular saw housing

Siemens Gas & Energy is printing a custom onyx circular saw housing with integrated parts such as the engine and shovel to repair gas turbines.

Chain links

Agricultural machinery manufacturer CLAAS prints chain links made of nylon and glass fibre for transporting combine harvesters weighing over 17 tonnes.

Functional Prototypes

BAM GmbH offers a wide range of products for the manufacture of metal and plastic components of the highest quality and with the narrowest tolerances for numerous industries.

Aviation

VOCUS uses the self-extinguishing and flame-retardant Onyx FR as the material for the battery packs.

Gears

3D printing in plant construction from prototype to series production. Development and production of a novel blasting technology for homogeneous and reproducible surfaces.

Fixtures

Individual fixtures for a laser welding system used to be made of aluminium and were very heavy and expensive to produce.

Sample part

See for yourself the quality and strength of a sample component reinforced with continuous fiber.

Special machine construction

The main focus is on special machines, which is why almost no component occurs twice.

Individual parts

Cirnapro designs metal and plastic parts for the mechanical engineering industry in lot sizes 1-200. 3D printing allows complicated functions to be integrated into a single component.

Sanitary valves

Speed plays a particularly important role in the development phase of a new valve.

Reverse Engineering

DAVOSCAN uses five Markforged 3D printers and can rest assured that no matter which 3D printer they use, the result will always be the same.

Nozzle holder

Siemens Gas & Energy prints customized onyx devices to keep custom injectors during post-processing.

Laboratory Equipment

Utilizing Inconel 625 for Rapid and Repeated Temperature Cycling

Tooling

Reducing changeover time and increasing plant throughput with Markforged technology

Surgical Instruments

Fusing Metal and Carbon fiber printing to create prototype tools for surgical use

Prototypes

Kessler Plastics GmbH is a specialist in injection moulding technology and contract manufacturing and sees itself as a complete supplier in this field for its customers.

Robo Challenge

Robo Challenge is a creative engineering company that pushes design and materials to the absolute edge.
