Machining tooling in metal or plastic, either in-house or via a service bureau, can be a costly process. However, it may not always be necessarily the best solution.
Stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing jigs and fixtures in-house can unlock unique benefits which can not be matched by other 3D printing technologies or production techniques.
In this webinar, we’ll examine case studies of how companies are using SLA technology to print strong, functional accurate parts using a library of engineering materials in order to dramatically cut costs, reduce lead times and improve operational efficiency in production environments. Including one automotive customer who reduced costs by over 90% and lead times from 2-3 weeks to less than a day.
Seiko Nishino, Applications Engineer at Formlabs, works to introduce 3D printers to workflows and explore new uses of 3D printers. Seiko has worked on CAE specializing in heat transfer simulations in her previous job and her background is in mechanical engineering where she conducted research on 3D printing of medical implants, and since then have been working with 3D printers.
