Product development today is characterized by high-demand due to increasing in customer expectations . The result is driving greater competition among manufacturers with the pressure to do more, better, and faster. To stay competitive in a market, only rapid prototyping offers that opportunity.
Their aim was to improve mechanical system of the multicouplers, readjust connectors and to reduce construction costs
Zortrax M200 has quickly proven to be a more than designing tool. By using economical Z-ABS material the engineers were empowered with a reliable mean of testing. The material characteristic ensures durable and flawless surfaces, excellent for the prototyping purposes.
DICSA estimates that prototyping became 80% cheaper after introducing the 3D printer. Savings are even greater, if you take into consideration all the issues resolved during the process
CNC prototype takes 1-2 weeks
Invest KINGS 850 Pro SLA Industrial 3D Printer to replace traditional CNC method
Save time , 3D print @ 45hours
Improves Ares 2, a four wheel rover built for University Rover Challenge 2015 competition. The criteria is less than 50kg
Advantage of incorporating 3D printed components is the possibility of rapidly prototyping, re-designing or replacing elements if necessary. Using Z-Ultrat to produce gripper, casing etc which is durable but also light
They able to redesign and print exhaust nozzle quarters, aerodynamic cyclones, dust accumulator and particle assembler have all been 3D printed on Z-Ultrat in order to achieve the requirement
