3D PRINT BAROMETER
A Sparring Partner For Manufacturing
Established company
Active in wide range of markets
Solid base of well-developed core competences
branch offices
long-term commitment to our markets
Be were the customer is
Same set of technologies for prototyping and manufacturing
Allows going to series production quickly
Design changes along the road more easily
Entire step for tooling can be left out
Not only a time advantage, also difference in cost
3DP and costs: case-by-case approach and involves many factors (complexity, size, ... 3DPbarometer)
However, there are a number of clear cost-advantages
3DP: cost per piece is not relative to quantity
Means: no startup: skipping the tool production that saved time earlier, also saves costs
3DP = on demand production, no stock
Ability to turn several components into 1 single part
Small series are not the tip of the iceberg
In fact few products are made on a very large scale
In the industrial segment, small series are everywhere
Freedom of design that 3DP offers opens doors in many ways
Art and design objects
Functional design
Weight
Mass customization
We are a one-stop-shop for 3D Printing and can follow your project from the idea to the production series.
1. Deep dive into 3D Printing : technologies, D&E, Cases
2. Deep dive into products, strategy and long term goals of customer
3. Brainstorm -> discover benefits & applications for your business together
3D Printing = new way of thinking about design. We know how to design specifically for 3D Printing.
Data optimization for Rapid Prototyping:
File repair of scanned data or CAD assemblies
Creation of 3D file (B surface design) starting from A-face data
Complex cuts
Generation of reinforcement structures
Design for AM:
Maximize functional integration
Align design with material and technological strengths
Minimize costs
The AM process is managed by in-house developed and world class software.
Quality control processes are in place
Wide range of finishings available
