3D print the perfect tool
Create the perfect tool for the job, even if it's hollow, contoured, customized or otherwise too complex for traditional tool-production processes like CNC machining.
- Consolidate several components to reduce tool complexity
- Integrated features – fastener, RFID, pockets, text and labeling
- Design for ergonomics or maximum functionality rather than
manufacturability
3D print for less waste
3D printing allows you to validate tools, processes, and end products more thoroughly to avoid costly errors that lead to waste, scrap, rework, and retooling.
- 3D printing has less material waste than traditional manufacturing / machining
- Hybrid 3D printing traditional manufacturing solutions allow for lowest cost
- Reduction in the cost of poor quality
3D print on-demand
3D printing manufacturing tools on demand supports lean manufacturing strategies. Manufacturing aids and tools are built directly from CAD and can be ready for use in as little as a day.
- Bring new manufacturing lines online faster
- Enable low volume precision assembly
- On demand tooling with digital inventory
Manufacturing Aids & Tooling Applications
Reduce the cost and risk associated with traditional tool production
Casting Master
Casting master patterns can be 3D printed for substantial savings in cost, labour and time, ultimately speeding new product development.
Composite Tooling
3D print cost-effective, high-temperature, custom composite tooling in days — instead of the weeks or months required for traditional tooling processes.
Desktop Metal Materials
Prototype and mass produce with 200+ Compatible Desktop Metal Materials that are the same MIM (Metal Injection Molding) materials used in manufacturing
Desktop Metal Studio Fleet
Desktop Metal Studio Fleet is a custom-configurable solution for in-house metal 3D printing, supporting a range of low to mid-volume production applications
