WEBINAR:

Additive’s Role in Factory 4.0

November 1, 2023
Ansys | Stratasys

Bringing an idea from prototype to production is no longer bound by the constraints of traditional manufacturing methods. Challenge the constraints of traditional manufacturing with Stratasys 3D Printing. Traditional approaches to manufacturing are no longer the only way you have to bring your product to market. It’s time to think differently about 3D printing in manufacturing. In the era of Industry 4.0, manufacturing with additive opens new doors. Shave days off production cycles. Remove complexity from final assembly. Produce lightweight, high-strength structures. Create hyper-realistic prototypes. Be more competitive than ever before.

Join PADT’s Senior Application Engineer and additive expert, Pam Waterman, for a live presentation covering the fundamental value propositions of 3D printing for manufacturing, challenges facing those who wish to implement it, and how Stratasys helps users prepare for recent advancements on the factory floor, and elsewhere in today’s manufacturing world.

3dprinting vs cncmachining

WEBINAR:

3D Printing vs. CNC Machining

September 20, 2023
FDM | Stratasys

In the product development phase there are many process options for creating models, prototypes, patterns or molds. Selecting the best approach requires an appreciation for the project requirements, an understanding of the process considerations, and an evaluation of the resulting time, cost and quality. Without this information, it is difficult to identify the optimal approach. When designs are still fluid and product specifications are in flux, two common choices are 3D printing and CNC (computer numerical control) milling. While there are plenty of similarities among these technologies, in many ways, 3D printing is the opposite of CNC milling. Most notably, the factors that influence time and cost are quite different. Additionally, the size, shape and configuration of suitable or ideal parts for 3D printing are a reversal from the ideal for CNC machining.

To choose between the two, a thorough understand of both processes is necessary. Join PADT’s Chief Engineer and manufacturing expert, Dave Dietrich, for a live presentation covering the fundamental values of 3D printing and CNC machining, as well as a look at the advantages of each in certain scenarios.

Improved Injecting Molding with Additive Plackard

WEBINAR:

Improved Injection Molding with Additive

August 23, 2023
PolyJet | Stratasys

3D printing is commonly used to build prototype parts for the detection of issues related to form, fit and function. However, 3D printed prototypes cannot provide a complete assessment of an injection molded part’s functional performance due to the fact that 3D material properties are different than those actually used in injection molding.

Until recently, the only option for manufacturers to conduct design and functional testing of injection molded parts was to machine an aluminum (soft) tool. Today, PolyJet 3D printed injection molds are a better option for evaluating part design and performance.

Using data from CAD files along with its inkjet-like process, PolyJet 3D printing can deliver high resolution and smooth surfaces that are ideal for building injection molds capable of producing prototype parts in end-use thermoplastic. Plus, they can be constructed in one or two days as opposed to days and weeks for metal tools.

Join PADT’s Hardware Application Engineer, and additive design expert, Chase Wallace for a look at the latest advancements in PolyJet technology, and how it can be used to improve and innovate the creation of injection molds.

Solving Supply Chain Issues with Additive

July 26, 2023
FDM | PolyJet | SAF | Stratasys

Due to a shift in corporate understand of 3D printing’s business value, more and more industries have embraced the technology. From a recently expanded understanding of the benefits of additive manufacturing (AM), industry 4.0 smart, connected manufacturing has emerged.

AM is understood as a powerful technology capable of being used throughout the value chain and as a compliment to traditional manufacturing. Operations and logistics see significant improvement from AM adoption in subtle, yet powerful ways.

Join PADT’s Senior Application Engineer and additive expert Pam Waterman for a look at how the implementation of 3D printing into a manufacturing workflow can help streamline the supply chain from the ground up.

This application has proven benefits for the following:
– Supplier network
– Centralized manufacturing site
– Distribution network
– Customers
