Automotive
Efficient prototypes and customised parts
The automotive industry has embraced 3D printing to revolutionise the development of prototypes and customised parts. Instead of expensive and time-consuming tooling, car manufacturers can now create prototypes quickly and cost-effectively. This significantly speeds up the development process and makes it possible to bring new designs and innovations to market faster. In addition, parts for restorations, such as handbrake handles or interior trim, are produced with 3D printers, allowing for better customisation and quality.
Engineering
Complex components and prototyping
Engineers use 3D printing to manufacture complex components and create prototypes. This technology offers the ability to produce highly accurate and customised components for machines and designs. Engineers can create prototype and quickly make changes to maximise performance and efficiency. 3D printing also offers advantages in manufacturing by increasing adaptability in the production of small batches and custom-made products.
Dentistry
Precise prostheses and implants
3D printing has revolutionised the way dental technicians and dentists work. Precision-made dentures, implants and even braces can now be produced faster and more cost-effectively. 3D printing allows for customisation to the individual needs of the patient, leading to better results. In addition, 3D printers are used to make models for dental crowns and bridges, improving accuracy and fit.
Orthopaedics
Customised implants and prostheses
3D printing has revolutionised orthopaedics by enabling the production of customised implants and prostheses. Thanks to modern 3D scanning technology, orthopaedic technicians can create accurate models of bones and joints. These models serve as the basis for the production of implants and prostheses that are perfectly tailored to the patient's individual needs. The personalised solutions not only improve the quality of life, but also the accuracy and speed of the manufacturing process.
Shoe orthopaedics
Custom-fit shoes for health and comfort
In orthopaedic footwear, 3D printing enables the production of customised shoe insoles and shoe components. These customised solutions not only provide increased comfort for people with foot problems, but also help relieve pain and prevent postural problems. The personalised shoe insoles are a great way to promote foot health and walk comfortably throughout the day.
Robotics
Efficient and adaptable robot solutions
The robotics industry benefits significantly from 3D printing, especially in the production of robot components and grippers. 3D printed parts are easier and cheaper to produce, which accelerates the development of robots. Customised grippers made using 3D printing are flexible and can be adapted to different tasks. This increases efficiency in industrial automation and enables robots to perform a wide range of tasks.
Mounting devices
Fast, precise and cost-efficient
3D printing technology has also revolutionised the manufacture of assembly fixtures. With 3D printing, these fixtures can be made faster, cheaper and customised. They play a crucial role in manufacturing by precisely positioning and fixing components. This leads to improved production processes and higher efficiency in the manufacturing industry.
Digital spare parts warehouse
Needs-based supply
In the Digital Spare Parts Warehouse, 3D printing is used to produce spare parts on demand. This means no high storage costs, no wasted storage space and materials, and no minimum order quantities. Companies can react flexibly to model changes and produce parts when they are needed, resulting in significant cost savings.
The future of 3D printing in these industries
3D printing with MSLA technology has proven to be an innovative and versatile solution in automotive, engineering, dental, orthopaedics, shoe orthopaedics, robotics and jig making. However, as the technology continues to evolve, the future is even more exciting. We can look forward to even more precise printers, a wider range of materials and an even greater number of applications. The possibilities are endless and 3D printing will undoubtedly continue to play a crucial role in shaping these industries.
