Materialise Manufacturing

How much do you know about vacuum casting? 🤔 It’s a fantastic option for many projects — especially when you can rely on a skilled workforce like our team in the Czech Republic. In this month’s newsletter, we’re celebrating the 20 years of excellence they’ve brought to the field, highlighting the many benefits of choosing vacuum casting and a whole lot more. Come check it out! 👇 

Not one. Not two. But FIVE times faster. When Ossila chose 3D printing to produce their new spectrometer, the rewards went far beyond design freedom: ⚡ Assembly became five times faster ➗ The number of components halved ❌ No alignment jigs necessary 🎯 Highly accurate and completely light-tight Read more about how that decision empowered lean manufacturing and innovation here: https://mtls.am/48jjJCF #LeanManufacturing #AdditiveManufacturing #MachineryAndEquipment

Integrating many different materials and finishes is made easy at Materialise. PAL Robotics incorporates various technologies, including vacuum casting and Multi Jet Fusion, into the production of their ARI social robot — from prototyping to end-use parts.

Sometimes, boring is best. When you’re trying to find the right application for AM, it’s easy to get drawn to the prettiest or most complex design. But, an interesting design doesn’t always make for an interesting business case.   Our solution? Keep it simple and look for things like this 👇 Download the full whitepaper here: https://mtls.am/3Nnltkw

First, we helped certify 3D-printed polymers for flying parts. Now, we want to do the same for metal. The question is, how? It’ll be the talk of the town at MRO in just over a week’s time. Come join us at 📍 booth 9157, where you’ll have the chance to discuss it with our team — including aerospace Market Manager Erik De Zeeuw . Can’t wait until then? Check out his article highlighting exactly how we managed it and why he believes metal is an obvious next step: https://mtls.am/3Y0Ao9q #MRO2024 #MROE #MROEurope #3DPrinting #Aerospace
