Reshaping Manufacturing
If your final parts will be 3D printed, you can set aside the usual design-for-manufacturing constraints. Built layer-by-layer from the bottom up, 3D printed parts can be more geometrically complex, lighter-weight, easier to assemble, and just as durable as traditionally manufactured parts.
Additive manufacturing is attracting well-deserved interest and attention under the name 3D printing. But while remarkable stories grab news headlines and fuel the popular imagination, a less-visible shift is taking place behind the scenes that is reshaping how nearly everything is made. It’s helping companies worldwide push the limits of innovation while reducing costs, streamlining operations and accelerating time to market.
Reduce tooling costs and risks
Deliver just in time
Machined tools are time consuming and costly. In just days or hours, you can 3D print patterns, molds or tool masters directly from CAD data and prove out your designs using the same process and materials you’ll use for your end product.
Excess inventory saps your bottom line. 3D printing tools and parts directly from digital files can reduce waste and lower warehousing costs. Plus, by eliminating the usual lead times, you can respond agilely to demand spikes, design changes or damaged tools.
Fortus 250mc Fortus 250mc Durability and detail with maximum control Fortus 250mc pairs fine layer resolution with a larger build envelope and gives you the power to fine-tune every aspect of prototype production.
