Metal 3D Printing Revolutionizes Automotive Manufacturing: A Desktop Metal Case Study on Egar Tool & Die Ltd.

Case Study: Egar Tool & Die Ltd.

Discover how Egar Tool & Die Ltd. leveraged the power of metal 3D printing to overcome durability and cost issues and improve their manufacturing processes. By adopting Desktop Metal’s Studio System, Egar was able to produce larger and more parts per run, leading to lower per-part printing costs.

This case study showcases Egar’s journey in finding a suitable 3D printing system to produce mounts for end-of-arm tooling inserts and mounting stamping die sensors.

Here are some key takeaways from the case study:

• Egar had experimented with plastic printers but faced durability and cost issues
• After assessing various options, the Studio System was chosen for its sturdy printer design and advanced furnace capabilities
• The Desktop Metal furnace’s vacuum chamber design, ability to use house gas, and larger volume capacity facilitated the production of larger and more parts per run, leading to lower per-part printing costs
• Egar achieved significant cost savings, reduced lead times, and improved part quality with the Studio System
