Explore some common applications
Packaging Development
With 3D printing, you’ll attract consumers’ attention with better packaging design. Corporations are aware that they must keep their packaging attractive, trendy, and must do so quickly. 3D printing is leveraged to create new packaging iterations faster and more economically.
Robot Arms and Grippers
With 3D printing, you’ll create custom solutions for assembling, sorting and palletizing on food processing lines. 3D printing offers a viable means of producing custom, light-weight robotic grippers and arms for specific requirements.
Tooling, Jigs and Fixtures
With 3D printing, you’ll have design flexibility, allowing tools to be designed ergonomically. Your workers will be more safe, efficient, and accurate while performing tasks. Common 3D printed tools include: maintenance tools, safety tools, (dis)assembly tools, quality assurance tools, and alignment tools.
