3D Printing for Tooling and Industrial Applications
When it comes to tooling and industrial applications, 3D printing can help save significant time and money on the job shop floors of the manufacturing industry.
Benefits
Benefits of 3D Printing Tooling and Industrial Applications
Being in manufacturing plants for decades, our application specialists have been working with tooling since day one. We’re incredibly skilled at reducing the cost and lead time of your parts, as well as identifying ways to free up valuable machine time on your manufacturing floor.
Materials
Tooling and Industrial 3D Printing Materials
Because of their strength, durability and non-marring properties, Nylon with fiber reinforcements or fillings are perfect for tooling and industrial applications. We can also 3D print with certain metals, which incorporate their own value-add properties.
Processes
3D Printing Processes for Tool and Industrial Applications
When working on the job shop floor, you need very strong and reliable parts. Technologies like HP’s Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), Markforged’s Fusion Deposition Modeling (FDM), Select Laser Sintering (SLS), and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) are all able to successfully produce these rugged parts.
Common Applications:
- Jigs and Fixtures
- Quality Control Tools
- Soft Jaw Chucks
- Robot Arm Grippers
- Trim Fixtures
- Manufacturing Aids
