3D rapid prototyping across industries.

A complex aerospace engineering roadblock. The challenge of being first to market with an innovative wearable product. Both have this in common: rapid prototyping as a critical component to driving breakthrough successes. 

 

Ford Motor Company bought one of the first 3D printers made, recognizing the promise additive manufacturing held for accelerating prototyping. Now you can look everywhere, from automotive to zoology, and find someone seeking to solve a material performance problem using rapid prototyping.

 

Make impressive results look easy

 

Imagine it — Coming soon: Rapid Prototyping, the movie. We’ll spare you the plot and cut to the chase; virtually everyone’s a hero when the story of dramatic cost reduction, improved part performance, and reduced time-to-part gets told.  

 

Make it all look easy with AquaSys supports. These products were engineered to provide superior material properties, and that means less friction between your ideas and your next innovation.   
 

Lowering the barriers


If you're concerned about capital expenses or staffing requirements for rapid prototyping, don't worry. Open systems and the rise of independent additive manufacturing job shops have placed the advantages of 3D printing within easy reach.  

 

Easier access to great results is one reason we’re committed to developing products for open additive manufacturing systems. Our focus on material science means we make innovative products for innovators. Stop scheming and start building with materials that expand the idea of what's possible.
