The enhanced properties of these plastics allow this technology to thrive in the Aerospace, Automotive, Healthcare, Energy, Railway, and Higher Ed/Research along with other industries.
Ideal applications for high-performance 3D printers include jigs & fixtures, low volume production parts that are exposed to chemicals, end-use production parts of low volume and high complexity, product development (customers with technology in house produce 7x more prototypes than those that outsource), functional prototyping (high performance materials enable users to test parts prior to production using real materials), tooling, and mold production. All of these present huge opportunities for companies to recognize time/cost savings vs traditional methods.
