Additive Manufacturing has profoundly impacted all aspects of manufacturing. With the ability to increase speed-to-market, lower production costs, and customize specialty parts, it continues to fuel innovation. Manufacturing jigs, fixtures, and other tooling accounts for more than 20% of all end-use parts produced with 3D printing today. Yet, without tools that make the design of custom jigs and fixtures simpler, many users are kept from reaching the full benefits of Additive Manufacturing on the factory floor.
One tool that is helping engineers bypass this roadblock is the latest collaborative effort from Stratasys and nTopology, the FDM Fixture Generator.
This innovative software tool allows you to automate the design of 3D printed jigs & fixtures. Generate custom designs and streamline operations on your factory floor without spending time in CAD. Ready to print with a few clicks.

As advancements in R&D continue to expand hardware
innovation in almost every industry, 3D printing is playing an increasingly
larger role. For a long time, companies developed prototypes via fabrication in
a machine shop or outsourced to a third party contractor. This process proved
to be costly and slow. With innovations like the Stratasys F123 series,
industrial-grade 3D printers, prototyping is becoming simpler, more cost-efficient,
and faster. PADT is a reseller and support provider for the F123 series and has
seen it used to great success in its customer’s hands.
“Our customers are finding the Stratasys F123 3D
printers to be a great addition to their design floors,” said Rey Chu,
co-founder and principal, PADT. “They have a very minimal learning curve, and a
range of material options that provides flexibility for a wide variety of
parts.”
As some of the most well-rounded 3D printers in the
industry, the Stratasys F123 Series have won numerous awards. It’s easy to
operate and maintain these machines, regardless of the user’s level of
experience, and they are proficient at every stage of prototyping, from concept
to validation, to functional performance.
The printers work with a range of materials – so users
can produce complex parts with flexibility and accuracy. This includes advanced
features like Fast Draft mode for truly rapid prototyping and soluble support
to prevent design compromise and hands-on removal – All designed to shorten
product development cycles and time to market.
All of these different characteristics allow for the
F123 series to provide innovative solutions for manufacturers working with a
wide variety of applications. This vast array of potential use is best seen in
the assortment of companies that have purchased the Stratasys F370, the largest
and most robust model in the F123 line of 3D printers; boasting a 14 x 10 x 14
in. build size, additional software integration, and access to a plethora of
unique materials designed to help ensure prototyping success, all at an accessible
price point. Companies that best represent the diversity of this machine
include:

like Juggernaut relies on. Covering everything from the development of
prototypes and form studies, to ergonomic test rigs and even functional models,
the need for quick turnaround is relevant at nearly every stage of the design
process. Having physical parts to show to clients also helps to improve
communication, allowing them to better visualize key design elements.
National Renewable Energy Laboratory
The U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) focuses on advancing the science and engineering of energy efficiency, sustainable transportation, and renewable power technologies, including marine energy. Follow solarkraft for more information. When it comes to developing the components of a wave energy device that produce power from relative motion induced by the dynamics of ocean waves for example, NREL’s research requires extensive validation before it is ready for commercialization. This process often includes generating sub-scale components for numerical model validation, prototypes for proof of concept, and other visual representations to provide clarity throughout the entire manufacturing process. It’s also important to accurately validate research projects at a more manageable and cost-effective scale before moving beyond the prototype stage.
Recently, NREL has ventured into building parts with
more complex geometries, such as 3D printing hydrodynamically accurate models
that are able to effectively represent the intricacies of various geometry and
mass properties at scale.
Sierra Nevada Corporation
Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) is a privately held,
advanced technology company providing customer-focused innovative solutions in
the areas of aerospace, aviation, electronics, and systems integration. SNC’s
diverse technologies are used in applications including telemedicine,
navigation and guidance systems, threat detection and security, commercial
aviation, scientific research, and infrastructure protection, among others. SNC
decided to purchase an F370 Stratasys 3D printer to help the company’s
engineering team iterate faster on new application designs. This machine was
specifically attractive due to the reasonable purchase and operational costs of
Stratasys printers, as well as the reduced manufacturing times it provided.
These use cases provide an example of how the Stratasys F123 series is helping to replace traditional manufacturing to save costs and provide a more efficient in-house, rapid design solution. The Stratasys F123 printers, and specifically the power and size of its flagship model, the F370, are revolutionizing design team’s workflow by providing more flexibility and accessibility than ever before.

Getting zapped by static electricity at the personal level
is merely annoying; having your sensitive electronic equipment buzzed is
another, highly destructive story.
Much as you’d like to send these components out into the
world wearing their own little anti-static wristbands, that’s just not
practical (and actually, not good enough*). During build and use, advanced
electronics applications need true charge-dissipative protection that is
inherent to their design and easy to achieve. However, the typical steps of
painting or coating, covering with conductive tape, or wrapping with
carbon-filled/aluminum-coated films incur both time and cost.
Electrostatic dissipative (ESD) polymer materials instead provide this kind of protection on a built-in basis, offering a moderately conductive “exit path” that naturally dissipates the charge build-up that can occur during normal operations. It also prevents powders, dust or fine particles from sticking to the surface. Whether the task is protecting circuit boards during transport and testing, or ensuring that the final product works as designed throughout its lifetime, ESD materials present low electrical resistance while offering the required mechanical, and often thermal and/or chemically-resistant properties.

Combining ESD Behavior with 3D Printing
All the features that are appealing with 3D printing carry
over when printing with ESD-enabled thermoplastics. You can print trays custom-configured
to hold circuit-boards for in-process testing, print conformal fixtures that
speed up sorting, and produce end-use structures for projects where static
build-up is simply not allowed (think mission-critical aerospace applications).
Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), that work-horse of
the plastics industry, has been available as 3D printing filament for decades.
Along the way, Stratasys
and other vendors started offering this filament in a version filled with
carbon particles that decrease the plastic’s inherent electrical resistance.
Stratasys ABS-ESD7 runs on the Fortus 380, 400, 450 and 900 industrial systems,
and soon will be available on the office-friendly F370 printer.
What kind of performance does ABS-ESD7 offer? When
evaluating materials for ESD performance, the most important property is
usually the surface resistance, measured in ohms. (This is not the same as surface
resistivity, plus there’s also volume resistivity – see Note at end). Conductive
materials – typically metals – have a surface resistance generally less than 103
ohms, insulators such as most plastics are rated at greater than 1012
ohms, and ESD materials fall in the mid-range, at 106 to 109
ohms.
Compared to standard ABS filament, ABS-ESD7 offers more than five orders of magnitude lower resistance, converting it from an insulator to a material that provides an effective static-discharge path to the outside world. Due to the inherent layered structure of FDM parts, the differences in properties between flat (XY) and vertical (ZX) build orientations produces a range of resistance values, with a target of 107 ohms, reflected in the product name of ABS-ESD7. Stratasys offers an excellent, easy-to-read FAQ paper about ABS-ESD7.

When ABS isn’t strong enough or won’t hold up to temperature extremes, engineers can turn to Stratasys’ ESD-enhanced polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), termed Antero 840CN03. Developed in 2016 and slated for full release in October 2019, this new filament expands the company’s Antero line of high-temperature, chemically resistant formulations. The PEKK base material offers a high glass transition temperature (Tg 149C, compared to 108C for ABS-ESD7) while meeting stringent outgassing and cleanroom requirements. As with ABS-ESD7, the carbon-nanotube loading lowers electrical resistance values of Antero 840CN03 parts to the desirable “ESD safe” range of 106 to 109 ohm.
Setting up Parts for Printing with ESD-Enhanced Filament
Support structures in contact with part walls/surfaces can disturb the surface resistance behavior. To counter-act this condition for filament printing with any type of ESD material, users should perform a special calibration that makes the printer lay down slightly thinner-than-usual layers of support material. In Stratasys Insight software, this is currently accomplished by setting the Support Offset Thickness to -0.003; this decreases the support layers from 0.010 inches to 0.007 inches. In addition, supports should be removed (in Insight software) from holes that are smaller in diameter than 0.25 inches (6.35mm).
As more of these materials are developed, the software will be updated to automatically create supports with this process in mind.
ESD Applications for 3D Printing
Avionics boxes, fixtures for holding and transporting
circuit boards, storage containers for fuel, and production-line conveyor
systems are just a few examples of end-use applications of ESD-enabled
materials. Coupled with the geometric freedom offered by 3D printing, three
categories of manufacturing and operations are improved:
Protecting electronics from ESD damage (static
shock)

*Anti-static is a qualitative term and refers to something that prevents build-up of static, rather than dissipating what does occur
Surface Resistance,
Surface Resistivity and Volume Resistivity
Surface resistance in ohms is a
measurement to evaluate static-dissipative packaging materials.
The standard
for measuring surface resistance of ESD materials is EOS/ESD S11.11, released
in 1993 by the ESD
Association as an improvement over ASTM D-257 (the classic standard
for evaluating insulators). Driving this need was the non-homogeneous structure
of ESD materials (conductive material added to plastic), which had a different
effect on testing parameters such as voltage or humidity, than found with evaluating conductors.
Volume resistivity is yet a third
possible measured electrical property, though again better suited for true conductors
rather than ESD material. It depends on the area of the ohmeter’s electrodes
and the thickness of the material sample. Units are ohm-cm or ohm-m.
Manufacturers can drastically reduce lead times, reduce labor costs, and increase overall efficiency through the use of robotics at several stages in their workflow, each performing a different function. While each function serves a unique purpose specific to the task it will execute, they all utilize an essential component known as End-of-Arm tooling (EOAT).
Traditionally, companies that produce EOAT have used extruded aluminum, or machined aluminum frames, often making them heavy and cumbersome. One manufacturer however, has found a solution to reduce weight without sacrificing strength or durability, using 3D printing.

PADT is very proud to announce that our new manufacturing facility that uses 3D Printing technology to make production parts in volume, is open for business. When we bought our first Additive Manufacturing machine in 1994 we dreamed of the day when we could have several machines quickly making complete plastic parts in one step. Carbon’s Carbon’s Digital Light Synthesis™ (DLS) was the technology we were waiting for. It is here now, and we are now making real parts with injection molded quality.
We chose to leverage Carbon’s technology because of the three key differentiators in their system:
Digital light projection is much faster than a laser or print head.
Oxygen permeable optics enables accurate project while keeping the part from sticking to the optics.
Programmable liquid resins produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution and surface finish.
What every engineer wants: fast, strong, and accurate. And because it is Additive Manufacturing, no tooling is required and shapes that can be created that are impossible to manufacture with traditional methods. This is the promise of 3D Printing for production, and we can’t wait to see what our customers do with it.
Please read the press release below for more details on the opening of our facility.
Please find the official press release on this new partnership below and here in PDF and HTML
Now is the time to explore production using Additive Manufacturing. If you have plastic parts that you want to manufacture using 3D Printing, contact Renee Palacios at renee@padtinc.com or 480.813.4884.
Press Release:
New Digital Manufacturing Facility for On-Demand Delivery
of Production Quality Parts Opened at PADT
A Carbon Certified Production Partner, PADT Enables Customers to Make Cost-Effective Parts Quickly with Near-Injection Molded Material Properties
TEMPE, Ariz., June 21, 2018 ─ Realizing the long-term promise of 3D Printing to replace traditional manufacturing as a way to make production parts, Phoenix Analysis and Design Technologies (PADT) today announced the launch of On-Demand Manufacturing with Carbon. As a certified Production Partner of Silicon Valley-based Carbon, PADT can now deliver to its customers cost-effective, quality parts in volumes of between 2,000–5,000 in about one week, using Carbon’s Digital Light Synthesisä (DLS) technology and the Carbon production system.
“Since we started in 3D Printing almost 25 years ago, we have dreamed of the day that we could use additive manufacturing to move beyond prototyping and deliver production parts to our customers when they need them, the way they need them,” said Rey Chu, co-founder and principal, PADT. “Carbon’s DLS technology has made this possible by giving us a faster process that creates parts with the same properties as injection molding.”
Core to On-Demand Manufacturing with Carbon is Carbon’s proprietary DLS technology, which changes the way companies design, engineer, make and deliver products. Carbon’s novel approach uses digital light projection, oxygen permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution and surface finish. A significant advantage of using the approach is that no tooling is required. High-quality parts are produced without the time or expense of creating molds, and shapes that cannot be made with injection molding can be created using Carbon’s DLS technology.
“Our goal is to deliver true, scalable digital fabrication across the globe, enabling creators to design and produce previously unmakeable products, both economically and at scale,” said Dana McCallum, head of Production Partnerships at Carbon. “PADT has a long history in the industry and a strong reputation for engineering excellence. We’re thrilled to have them as a certified Carbon production partner.”
PADT’s on-demand manufacturing is backed up by in-house product development, inspection, simulation and injecting molding expertise. All parts are produced under its quality system, and its in-house Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machining lets the company complete any critical feature creation on-site with no delays.

When you think about manufacturing and PADT, you will most often think of Additive Manufacturing, or more generally 3D Printing. Although this new and exciting area of technology is the foundation of our Advanced Manufacturing department, it is only one part of what we offer. As discussed in the opening piece in this series, our manufacturing team also offers part scanning and reverse engineering services. What many people do not know is that our experts, often working with our product development team, also offer consulting services for all kinds of manufacturing.
When it comes to getting parts made, a company needs to find the right manufacturing methods, the proper processes, the right vendor, and the right manufacturing plan to get their parts made correctly and cost-effectively. This is true if they manufacture and assemble in-house, if they outsource the entire process, or if they do a combination of building, buying, and assembling. PADT is a valuable resource that can help investigate options, provide advice on next steps, and even serve as a liaison between our customers and their suppliers and vendors. Whatever the product, whatever the manufacturing technology, and wherever the facility, PADT can help.
Here are some typical examples of what we have done for customers. If you do not see what you need, no worries, contact us anyway and we can figure it out. Simply put, if you need help getting stuff made, we are here to help.
Finding Manufacturing Solutions
Getting products made can be hard. And pressures in most segments for greater performance in less volume for less cost are making manufacturing challenges more difficult every year. Many times traditional methods and processes that have worked in the past just can not get the job done. That is where PADT comes in to look at your needs with fresh eyes backed with a wealth of knowledge about different manufacturing solutions. Sometimes we help change the design and sometimes we change the process, and often we work with our customer to do both so that they can get their parts made.
Vendor Identification and Management
Many customers come to us with a simple request: Find someone that can make this and help us get it made. They may not have the staff with the proper experience needed to find, qualify, and manage vendors. Or those people may simply be too busy. PADT’s network of proven vendors combined with our project management expertise makes for a simple and single point solution for customers large and small. From supply chain, through inspection, to shipment, our team can take on the tasks you need to be done to make sure your products show up ready and to specification where and when they need to be there.
Injection Molding Consulting
The most common type of consulting that we conduct for customers is helping them with injection molding. If they need a straightforward part with no technical challenges, then there are literally thousands of vendors that can do that job. But if the plastic parts they need have challenges, if normal injection molding suppliers have look at the parts and scratched their heads, that is when PADT can step in and solve problems. We can use our knowledge of plastic part design, our large network of expert injection molders, and proven problem-solving skills to find a way to get those difficult parts made in a timely and affordable manner.
Developing New Technologies
Sometimes, there just is not an existing way to get something made. There may be technologies that get close, but nothing that already exists in the right combination. That is when PADT’s advanced manufacturing, simulation, and design skills can all come together to develop new technologies and processes to enable true innovation. From new material combinations to novel post-processing approaches, our team can bring in other experts and suppliers to find ways to push out beyond the leading edge of advanced manufacturing.
We Make Innovation Work
No part of bringing products to market stresses the importance of making innovation work more than manufacturing. This is where all of the ideas and solutions come together to create a physical product. Every product is unique, and every product has unique manufacturing problems. That is why PADT’s Manufacturing Consulting is called on by customers across industries to solve problems and find solutions. And that is why if you are facing manufacturing challenges, you should call on PADT to help you.
