Lead Time Reductions with Stratasys Additive Manufacturing
Germany-based, Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA), has significantly reduced the time and cost to produce bespoke prototype ship model components since introducing Stratasys additive manufacturing technology.
Having previously outsourced its 3D printing requirements, HSVA realized that further time-savings and cost reductions could be achieved by bringing the technology in-house. Following the installation of the Objet Eden350V, the company has been able to quickly and cost-effectively produce strong, high performance plastic prototype parts while upholding its high […]

3D Printing: Revolutionizing Surgery and Improving Outcomes
If 3D Printing has only one advantage it is the ability to produce complex, organic shapes. However usually one material is used and as you may have noticed, we don’t exactly feel like Lego’s, the stuff of most printers.
Imagine being able to replicate the exact procedure of transplanting a Kidney or of knowing EXACTLY how a face transplant will be connected because you already tried it out before […]
