3D PRINTING IN
MANUFACTURING
ENHANCE YOUR PRODUCTION LINE
GAIN MANUFACTURING EFFICIENCIES
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 and sacrificial parts.
AREAS OF APPLICTION
JIGS, FIXTURES & MANUFACTURING AIDS
Produce better performing, strong jigs & fixtures to aid manufacture and assembly. Embed sensors and RFID tags
SPARE PARTS & MAINTENANCE
3D print obsolete, one-off or parts for maintenance.
No need to hold stock.
Print on demand. Reduce production down-time
END EFFECTORS & JAWS
Produce light-weight end effectors and holding jaws for use on cobots and robots to improve productivity
STOCK PARTS
Replace expensive, high order volume parts with 3D printed stock parts. Save on costs and reduce lead times from weeks to hours
Markforged Blacksmith is advanced software for automated quality control for Additive Manufacturing.
​
By scanning parts while they print, the Markforged X7 is the only industrial-grade FFF 3D printer with in-process part verification.
​
It scans, measures, and compares dimensional accuracy data of printed parts to their design files — giving manufacturers reliable parts right off the printer.

“The speed and flexibility 3D printing technology has added to the prototyping process has exceeded our most optimistic estimates. The ease of producing low volume parts that would otherwise never have been cost effective has noticeably improved the overall quality of the equipment we can produce.”
​
Mike Hendey,
Senior Systems Engineer, Lincad
“3D Printing is becoming a part of everyday production. We will never go back to operations without Additive. We are just going to use it more and more, identifying more parts and applications that can be 3D printed.”
