APPLICATIONS & INDUSTRIES
How & Where Is Additive Manufacturing Used?
Read how AM technologies are being used across a broad array of industries & applications from Production Aids & Tooling, Design Prototypes, End Components and Batch Production. Small to large businesses are benefitting from cost, time and resource savings.
JIGS, FIXTURES & TOOLING
Enhance your production line and gain manufacturing efficiencies by 3D printing tooling, jigs, fixtures, sacrificial parts and production aids. Create fittings & casings through to CMM gauges and inspection tools.
FORM, FIT & FUNCTION TESTING
3D print multiple design iterations for product development. Produce prototypes, models & component parts for form & function testing. Fit parts for approval before final stage production or mould manufacture.
END COMPONENTS & SMALL BATCH PRODUCTION
Manufacture small batch print runs for end products & components. Use your 3D printer to produce stock parts for other machinery and equipment. 3D print moulds, casings, housings and bespoke client parts.
INDUSTRIES
Our clients are benefitting from cost and time savings of up to 96%, through our Additive Manufacturing technologies and solutions.
AUTOMOTIVE
Production Efficiencies
Original Equipment Manufacturers, Motorsport & Component Suppliers benefit from bespoke tooling, advanced R&D and production line efficiencies.
ENGINEERING
Improve Processes
Precision Engineers, Electronics, Aerospace, General Engineering, Industrial, Safety Equipment & Marine Engineering firms use AM technologies to save costs and reduce lead times.
Reduce Lead Times
British Manufacturing firms benefit from huge cost savings, lower reliance on external suppliers, increased productivity and improved efficiencies with 3D printed tooling, aids, jigs, fixtures & sacrificial parts.
PRODUCT DESIGN
Fast Product Iteration
Consumer Products, Design Engineers, Retail, Telecoms & Industrial Design benefit from faster product development with quicker design to market & improved performance, all at lower costs.
DEFENCE
Improve Supply Chain
Defence, governmental and public bodies benefit from bringing 3D printers in-house with improved R&D, reduced expenditure & enhanced client services with bespoke product development, on-site fixes and end components.
ARCHITECTURE
Design Improvements
Industrial, Retail, Residential, Landscape & Interior Design Architects produce multiple design iterations, faster & more cost-effectively allowing for reduced lead times, improved end products and cross-functional teams.
HIGHER EDUCATION
Enhanced Learning
Universities, Colleges & Higher Education specialist establishments are enhancing student learning, increasing R&D output, reducing costs and adding ancillary business services.
INJECTION MOULDING
Compliment Existing Processes
Traditional injection moulding companies use Additive for testing and validation, and to create moulds for low volume runs. Additive accelerates product development and reduces risks and costs.
