De-risking Industrial 3D Printing with a Simple, Repeatable Simulation Workflow

By |2024-08-09T09:55:01-04:00August 9th, 2024|Categories: 3D Printing / Additive Mfg, 3d Scanning & Reverse Engineering|0 Comments

Radical weight reduction, enhanced performance, and short lead times. These are just a few advantages that drive aerospace companies to adopt 3D printing. But one major challenge is deterring them from fully committing to the technology – the hefty price of mistakes. The materials alone are so expensive that printing a single part sometimes costs tens of thousands of dollars. Additionally, aerospace parts need to comply with exacting standards where the tolerance for errors is [...]
