Direct digital production
Rethink the concept of the factory from the ground up. Direct Digital Manufacturing, also known as DDM, significantly increases the competitiveness of your company. It was only a step after prototypes that could be printed directly from CAD models, the introduction of direct manufacturing from CAD models, which complements traditional manufacturing processes well, and in some cases can even replace some processes of traditional manufacturing.
Direct digital manufacturing is the right solution for you if your company requires short lead times, requires low-volume, unique parts, or needs to produce complex parts and parts with geometries that are not suitable for machine production.
Composite parts
Composites are used when we need lightweight yet strong components.
3D printing of composite parts significantly simplifies the production of complex parts while providing unparalleled design freedom. Compared to traditional tooling, we can produce cost-effective parts in weeks, months, or even days.
Composite materials
Composite materials can be reinforced with different fibers, such as carbon, aramid, or glass fibers. Parts printed from carbon-fiber-reinforced Nylon 12CF are also suitable for replacing metal parts. Stratasys ULTEM™ 1010 resin is excellent for the production of composite parts due to its high heat resistance. It is also often used in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Vacuum forming
FDM 3D printing technology is becoming increasingly popular as a cost-effective replacement for various manufacturing processes, such as vacuum forming. 3D printed vacuum tools offer several advantages over traditional tooling methods: lower cost, less material waste, and shorter lead times.
Vacuum Forming Materials
Stratasys recommends two materials for 3D printing vacuum forming tools: polycarbonate and ULTEM™ 9085 resin. Both have very high heat resistance.
With industrial FDM technology, each layer can be controlled very well, so it is possible to set layer by layer when the interior should be porous or when we want to produce thinner outer contours. It is also possible to have the outer part of the tool have a smooth surface and the inner part be porous. The closed and heated workspace of FDM 3D printers, as well as the use of support material, also enable the printing of special geometries and hollow parts with engineering precision.
