3D-PRINTING INJECTION MOLDED-QUALITY PARTS

Despite the continued evolution of 3D printing, the technology’s promise has been greater than its real-world use. Especially for engineers and product designers who depend on prototyping to help fuel innovation and who see the potential for on-demand production parts. Until this point, you’ve had to make sacrifices throughout the process, from file to usable part. Whether for speed or ease of use, safety or strength, cleanliness or software complexity, you simply couldn’t have it all - regardless of whether you use a desktop or large, expensive machine operating in a lab.   

Eliminating those sacrifices would mean having the ability to 3D print injection molded-quality parts on demand, quickly, easily, affordably and safely. That means 3D printing parts with the same part strength, surface finish, resolution, material properties and color as injection molded parts. They also need to be robust, reliable systems that can provide a much faster total 3D printing turnaround time, are easier to use, and can exist as comfortably and safely in the office as they can in additive manufacturing lab environments.

Is this too much to hope for?
