Custom machining methods for prototypes and assemblies can be costly and time-consuming. By utilizing 3D printing to print metal directly, companies have been able to reduce outsourcing costs and tooling backlogs, while opening new possibilities for additional revenue. Review these four use case examples to learn how:
Assembly consolidation can can simplify production
Additive manufacturing can unlock design elements not possible through other methods
Products can be brought to market faster using rapid prototyping
Additive manufacturing dramatically simplifies the process of creating tooling and fixturing. This white paper will cover multiple examples of how Bound Metal Deposition reduces time and cost in manufacturing situations. Discover how:
To generate higher throughput with existing machinery
Find out how Solidform, an industry pioneer in the casting prototype business that has manufactured investment and sand castings for the aerospace industry since 1980, was able to reduce an aerospace component’s weight by 65% while maintaining structural integrity. By optimizing this one part, they were able to achieve a fuel cost savings of nearly half a million dollars over the lifetime of an aircraft fleet. In this paper you will learn to:
Optimize parts for reduced weight while maintaining strength requirements
Implement scalable additive manufacturing to meet changing demands
Create castable patterns directly with a 3D printer
Announced today, two 3D printing powerhouses are to join forces with a definitive agreement for Desktop Metal to acquire EnvisionTEC, a market leader in photopolymer printing with an incredible IP and product portfolio. The acquisition will add a large portfolio of photopolymer 3D printers for end-use parts, dental and orthodontic applications, bioprinting, and casting markets such as jewelry. Dynamism is an authorized reseller of both brands, discover their available 3D printing solutions here.
In the industrial additive manufacturing market, growth has been driven by a shift from purely prototyping to dedicated solutions for end-use applications, an area where EnvisionTEC excels. Founded in 2002, EnvisionTEC boasts a large portfolio of over 190 materials and seven current 3D printers, which come in a variety of industry-focused configurations. Of notable mention, a recent material addition, EnvisionTEC’s E-3955 Thermal Cure exceeds material properties of Ultem1010, the strongest material currently available for material extrusion 3D printers (FFF/FDM). In addition, the EnvisionTEC portfolio includes a massive, high-speed 3D printer powered by an 8k DLP light source, printers 100X faster than legacy thermoplastic printers, a bioprinter, and several industry leading solutions for dental, jewelry, and manufacturing applications.
A complete look at the combined Desktop Metal and EnvisionTEC hardware portfolio
Through the acquisition expect “business as usual” for both companies. EnvisionTEC will continue as a wholly-owned subsidiary, maintaining the current organizational structure, with founder Al Siblani remaining as CEO, and the EnvisionTEC sales organization and channel program remaining in place.
