Our friends took home the bronze at the ATA New Product Launch Awards ceremony earlier this month! The hunting equipment company was recognized for their bottle holder design which was 3D printed by our in house SAF printer. Congrats Nilch'I!

Last week Kim was invited to attend an exclusive Blue Carpet Event with special guest speaker Jay Leno! The showcase, hosted by engineering and manufacturing company , included a display of cars with 3D printed components, insights from additive
manufacturing industry leaders, and previews of new printers like the Stratasys F3300.

This is one for our fuzzy buddies! Our client needed a way to help their dog with proper foot alignment. This brace ring was printed with ABS and helps support Panda in keeping his toes up as he walks.

Black, blue, and green! We have multiple colors that we can dye your SAF parts in-house. Have another color in mind? Talk to us to see if we can custom dye or paint your parts to match!

These cylindrical pieces were designed to work as part of an end-of-arm tool for a robotic arm. We printed them in Ultem 1010 because we wanted to be sure that they would be strong enough to withstand the repetitive motion of the robot’s work path. 3D printing with Ultem 1010 is also great because it can be certified for food-contact and bio-compatibility.

We printed these tools with different edge heights so that the caps go from a flat surface to a more conical point. The option to have interchangeable tools gives the capability to have a range of finished products that can have build variations while maintaining quality consistency.

What other applications should we integrate with 3D printing?

We some blocks that are making quality inspection a breeze. We have hundreds of small parts that have been printed and need to be quality checked. These blocks are individually sized to cover a particular quality check point. They have been super useful for helping us ensure that each part in this large production run is conforming to the correct specifications.

We’ve been busy this past week with a run of production pieces for an aerospace manufacturing company. These structural pieces we printed in Ultem 9085, for its high strength-to-weight ratio and its FST (flame, smoke, and toxicity) rating, making the material perfect for the safety standards in the transportation industries.
