Editor's Notes
- Today, we will introduce you to what we are calling 3D PRINTING 2.0 and share some real world applications to help you understand how companies are taking advantage of the benefits 3D printing offers. 3D printing is on almost everyone’s minds right now, and for good reason. Everyone – from schoolchildren to engineers to doctors – is starting to experience what this amazing technology has to offer. 3D Systems is the leader in the field, with more offerings for more applications than anyone else.
- 3D printing has come of age and is transforming the way we design, what we create and how we manufacture. While not a new technology, 30 years of innovation and progress have resulted in what we now call 3D Printing 2.0. It’s now easy enough, economical enough and compelling enough that 3D printing is touching our lives in ways we never thought possible. Chuck Hull, the founder of 3D Systems, built the first stereolithography machine almost 30 years ago, kicking off the 3D printing revolution. 3D Systems continues to lead the field, driving exponential productivity gains together with a wider array of performance materials, including metal, full color plastic, engineered composites, ceramics and even food!
- 3D Systems offers end-to-end solutions to let you take advantage of all that 3D printing has to offer. The company doesn’t make just 3D printers – it is a one stop shop for 3D content creation software, print materials, and on-demand part printing.
- 3D printing is quite literally changing the world. There are thousands of applications that it is having an impact on, and we can group most of these applications into one of five categories. If we think about how you create products, 3D printing can add value at each of these steps and help you get there faster, better and cheaper. Let’s look at a few examples of how this technology can be used in each of these steps of the product development and manufacturing process.
- Concept models, or communication models, are one of the most well-known use of 3D printing. The ability to conceive of a new product, model it in 3D software, and print a concept model in a matter of hours is extremely powerful. It helps with rapid decision making in the early stages of product development, because people can see and touch a design and really understand what the idea is. Imagine being able to take a model to your executive leadership, or to your customer, in a matter of hours after it was conceived. How much faster would the decision making process be? How much more confident would you be that you’ve got the right product if they smile as soon as you put it in their hands?
- Perhaps the single biggest benefit of printing concept models is that it allows you to rapidly iterate, at low cost, on various design ideas early in the product development process. This chart shows what we all know: that the later in the development process you make a change, the more costly it is. It’s far better to create a lot of different design ideas early, print them and make more informed decisions during the concept development phase. Holding the physical part in your hand will ensure you catch more potential problems up front, that you might not have realized by only looking at images on a screen. 3D printing not only drives significant cost savings, it empowers you to make better products with fewer potential problems down the road.
- After the concept development phase, you can also use 3D printing to test the form, fit and function of your designs. 3D Systems offers a variety of different print technologies and materials that have the mechanical properties you need to test your ideas in the real world. From hard plastics with ABS like properties, to soft rubber-like materials or even optically clear polycarbonate-like parts, you can print parts that will let you test and optimize your designs quickly and cheaply. You can even print metal parts, either directly with Direct Metal Printing, or indirectly as patterns for casting.
- Here are just a few examples of functional testing. The top right image is an engine valve cover for a Formula 1 engine printed in high temperature clear plastic. This customer bolts these printed parts onto their engines and can observe how oil is pumped and see all the valves working! In the lower right is another example of a part tough enough to stand up to heat cycle testing on a power drill. Assembly fit, cooling and overall feel can all be tested with this printed housing. In the lower left corner, we see a good example of a highly precise plastic part that lets another company test connectors on PC components.
- Tooling is often the single largest investment related to launching a new product. 3D printers are also being used to reduce costs and speed up turnaround here as well. RTV molding is a very popular application that enables you to do low volume molding of parts to verify your manufacturing processes before you commit to expensive hard tools. 3D printers are used to print patterns to make molds, or sometimes print the molds themselves. 3D Systems offers quite a few materials that are appropriate for short run tooling.
- Some of the most innovative uses of 3D printing center around making end-use parts for a variety of demanding applications. One of the biggest benefits of 3D printing (also called additive manufacturing) is that complexity is free. You don’t have to worry about the manufacturability of a part when it’s 3D printed. General Electric has publicly stated that by 2020, they will print more than 100,000 different products. On example is the jet engine component you see here. GE challenged their design engineers to come up with a better design that saves weight and helps burn fuel more efficiently. Without the worries of how to create tooling, they came up with an ingenious design for better cooling that allow this part to be thinner and lighter, saving millions of dollars worth of fuel over the lifetime of an aircraft. These cooling structures would be impossible to manufacture any other way.
- Opportunities for innovation abound when you aren’t encumbered by manufacturability constraints. The image on the top right shows an air duct that one company simplified from 15 individual parts and a complex assembly process into one single 3D printed plastic part. This saves on tooling, assembly time, quality control time and results in a more reliable end part with lower failure rates! You can see a tire mold here as well, printed on a 3D Systems direct metal printer. Printing the molds allows for better designs that can’t be CNC machined, with negative draft angles that make tires with better wet performance. The bottom left image shows an indirect metal part process, whereby a wax pattern is printed on a 3D Systems wax printer, and then cast with whatever material you choose.
- 3D printing also makes mass customization a reality, and whole new business models have sprung up around manufacturing millions of unique items, one design for every customer. Align Technology prints over 100,000 parts every day to make the clear plastic aligners that have replaced metal braces for many people. Doctors are using 3D printers to print patient-specific medical devices such as surgical guides for knee and hip replacements. The image in the top right is a study model for an oral surgeon to practice drilling and cutting bone before they actually cut the patient open. CJP printers from 3D Systems can print in material that feels like real bone.
- 3D printers have the accuracy and precision needed for the most demanding applications. Finely detailed jewelry can be printed as a wax pattern for casting in gold, silver or platinum. Custom made dental bridges can be printed and cast as well. SLA technology from 3D Systems has completely revolutionized the hearing aid industry. 96% of all in-the-ear hearing aids in the United States are now 3D printed.
- 3D Systems offers the broadest choice of 3D printers, designed to fit your specific application and to fit your budget. From at-home printers that cost less than $1,000, to fab-grade production printers that can crank out thousands of parts per day, we have the right printer for you.
- The ProJet 1200 is a professional 3D printer for your desktop or workbench. Parts made on the ProJet 1200 are accurate, have fine detail and are castable. It is ideal for dental wax-ups, jewelry and other castings, and the durable, stiff parts are also great for small plastic prototypes.
- Bring your ideas to life as vibrant color parts with the ProJet x60 series of 3D printers. Build parts with exceptional color resolution on an office-friendly printer that prints parts quickly and at a low per-part cost. These Color Jet Printing (CJP) systems print parts well suited for concept modeling and some end uses. We have the right solution to meet your specific requirements, with a selection of x60 models offering several color resolution levels, build volume options, and print speeds.
- Print concept models and functional prototypes that are extremely accurate, high resolution and tough. These Multi-Jet Printing (MJP) systems use hundreds of jets to print plastic parts using materials that range from ABS-like hard plastics to polycarbonate-like optically clear parts. Choose from among several configurations of the ProJet 3510 to meet your specific requirements, with a selection of resolution levels, build volumes, and a choice of high performance engineered materials… All for high quality functional parts!
- ProJet 3510 wax printers create high resolution, highly accurate wax patterns that you can cast directly from. Imagine going from idea to CAD model to wax pattern to finished cast metal part in a couple of days, instead of a couple of weeks! We have the right solution to adjust to your specific requirements, with a selection of printers offering several high resolution levels, build volumes, and wax materials to address a wide range of casting applications… Use 3D printed patterns in your standard lost-wax casting process and equipment!
- The ProJet 4500, new for 2014, breaks new ground as the first and only full color plastic 3D printer. ProJet 4500 parts are beautiful on the outside and tough on the inside. The printer uses Color Jet Printing (CJP) technology and specially engineered plastic materials to create real plastic parts with almost 1,000,000 unique colors. It’s the ideal printer for applications that span both concept models and functional prototypes.
- The ProJet 5000 professional printer offers the largest build volume in its class. It prints strong plastic parts in high resolution. Build the most complex parts – big or small – with high accuracy and precision build after build. The ProJet 5000 offers a range of high performance materials to meet all of your application needs. Like the ProJet 3510 series, the 5000 uses 3D Systems’ Multi-Jet Printing (MJP) technology, with wax supports that melt away and make post-processing easy.
- Your products are made of multiple materials -- and now your prototypes and concept models can be printed in multiple materials, making your 3D prints have more realistic mechanical properties and differentiated colors Not only can you print parts with distinctly different materials in one, you can also select the exact engineered composite material properties you want. The ProJet 5500X mixes materials on the fly to achieve a variety of properties From flexible to rigid Black, white, clear or shades in between From rubber-like to ABS-like 3D Systems’ Multi-Jet Printing technology has provided superior accuracy, part strength and surface finish for years, and now those same benefits are available in a multi-material printer.
- The 5500X mixes materials on the fly, so you can choose virtually any number of combinations to get the properties you want Color and mechanical properties can controlled independently of one another Color is controlled directly by the ratio of materials used SHORE hardness is controlled in two ways: Ratio of flexible and rigid material used Jetting pattern – every pixel of the part is jetted in a controlled pattern that affects its overall performance Additionally, the 5500X uniquely allows you to define an outer shell material that’s different from the inner core, so you can achieve lighter colors with more flex, and vice-versa. The color and hardness variables are not completely independent; for example you can not have a completely flexible white part nor a completely black rigid part But the 5500X’s unique ability to add an outer shell of a different material gives you more choice
- The ProJet 6000 and 7000 printers bring the production-level quality of Stereolithography (SLA) to a price point and ease-of-use level that makes them ideal for low volume manufacturing and prototyping. With more than 20 high performance materials to choose from, these SLA printers are versatile and produce parts economically.
- The ProX series offers the ultimate in 3D printing – fab-grade, production ready machines that make additive manufacturing a reality.
- - 3D Systems’ ProX 100, 200 and 300 direct metal printers build fully functional metal parts in hours, as complex as you design them and with highest detail and precision. - Direct Metal Printing is a next generation alternative to machining metal parts or investment casting. Imagine being able to go from idea to fully functional metal parts or tools in days instead of weeks or months. - In addition to the time saving benefits of direct metal printing, additive manufacturing on ProX printers allows you to manufacture and design parts without the limitations in part geometry that CNC machining and investment casting impose on you.
- - 3D Systems invented SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) printing and was the first to commercialize it in 1992. - Today, its SLS printers are the industry’s benchmark for production-grade additive manufacturing. - For tough plastic parts that are ready to use in the real world, nothing beats the ProX 500.
- - Chuck Hull, the founder of 3D Systems, invented Stereolithography 30 years ago. It is both the first 3D printing technology and, amazingly, still the best for accuracy, part quality and longevity - 3D Systems’ SLA has been steadily refined and improved upon for three decades, and dozens of high-performance materials have been developed for it - You’ll benefit from this long history of innovation with robust, reliable printers that offer exceptional manufacturing economics - The ProX 950 is new for 2014 – with PolyRay technology that doubles the speed of large part printing. Print a full size car dashboard in hours!
- 3D printers only come to life after you’ve designed your products. 3D Systems offers cutting edge Perceptual Design tools that can help you reinvent how you design. Geomagic products empower you to design products that are more complex, unique and appealing, faster than with traditional CAD tools.
- Geomagic Capture systems are tightly integrated hardware and software systems for 3D scanning. With Capture, you can quickly reuse existing product to make new designs, right inside the CAD software you’re already using. You can also scan and verify the quality of printed parts, or parts made by traditional methods as well.
