Rapid Tooling with 3D Printers: A Step by Step Guide With rapid tooling, manufacturers fabricate tools and prototypes with 3D printers in a fast, economic and flexible way.
Large Scale 3D Printing Shines New Light on Laser Research Learn how Laser Zentrum Hannover uses large scale 3d printing to create custom experiment environments.
Winds of Change for Vestas: 3D Printed Tooling Transforms Wind Turbines When Vestas needed to replace the jigs and fixtures that help construct their towering wind turbines, 3D printed tooling delivered where traditionally manufactured metal ones failed. Learn how the renewable energy giant leverages 3D printing for tooling, sustainable manufacturing processes and beyond.
Save 70% of tooling costs in metal casting Making patterns for metal casting used to be a labor intensive and long process. But with a large 3D printer, you can do this at the push of a button. This way, Metso Outotec saves up to 70% costs.
How Walter Automobiltechnik Streamlines Quality Assurance with 3D Printed Automotive Production Tools Integrating 3D printing into the automotive industry’s product development and prototyping workflows is now a widely accepted strategy to reduce costs and lead times. Despite the acceptance, later stages of industrial production remain ripe for additive innovation. One recent area of rapid growth is in 3D printed production tools for use in serial production.
Advanced Applications: Molds & Tooling – Large Scale 3D Printing In the last article we discussed the use of large-scale 3d printing in design and concept modeling processes. It is now time to examine more advanced applications.
