The benefits of large format 3D printed tooling

QUALIFIED FOR PRODUCTION
3D print tooling with a AS/EN 9100 certified LFAM process for the best quality parts

FASTER PRODUCTION
Reduce lead times drastically from design to finished parts compared to traditional processes, with part consolidation and eliminating need for assembly

DESIGN FOR USABILITY
Make tools lighter to handle, introduce ergonomic features to improve part handling, operations, and logistics in the shop floor with greater flexibility in design

OPTIMIZED RESOURCE USE
Significantly reduce use of raw materials, cut waste by up to 90%, and innovate on materials introducing performing recycled composites

HIGH-TEMPERATURE MATERIALS
Use advanced industrial materials, including composites qualified for high temperatures of autoclave processes, such as PC with carbon fiber or PEI

LONG-LIFE AGILITY AND VERSATILITY
Flexibly produce tools of all types, sizes, and with different materials, a system that adapts to your company’s evolution
