In the production of industrial components, 3D printing offers great added value. It allows companies to quickly and efficiently print existing designs as well as develop entirely new ones. This makes the process ideal for manufacturing prototypes, as well as functional, ready-to-use parts.
Think of applications in mechanical engineering, product development, software development and in maintenance companies, such as for the production of spare parts.
For industrial components, materials such as PA12 and TPU are used, depending on the specific requirements of the part. By playing with the wall thickness, the strength and hardness of each part can be tailored to the application.
The use of 3D printing in the production of industrial components provides significant time savings, significantly reducing lead times. In addition, it often results in financial savings through lower production costs and more efficient production processes. This is especially advantageous for companies that require regular modifications or replacements in their machines or production lines.
Prototyping is usually the first tangible expression of a valuable R&D process. Trust is a cornerstone of 3iD.
