3D Systems Demonstrates Digital Manufacturing Solutions as Cost Effective Alternatives to Traditional Manufacturing

3D Systems (NYSE:DDD) showcased how advancements in its digital manufacturing technologies can offer viable, enhanced alternatives to everyday manufacturing processes. By providing access to quicker, cost-effective means of production, 3D Systems gives its customers the edge in designing and manufacturing original products, with an emphasis on quality, not quantity. At formnext 2016, the company highlighted three key technology innovations driving this shift: Digital Molding, new materials and streamline printing platforms.
As quoted in the press release:

Digital Molding, powered by 3D Systems’ Figure 4 technology, enables the rapid, tool-free, continuous production of plastic parts with improved efficiency, design flexibility and economics as compared to traditional methodologies. It is a modular, scalable additive manufacturing process that simplifies and accelerates the production of plastic parts. This ultra-fast, automated Stereolithography (SLA) system enables manufacturers to go straight from CAD to manufacturing, without tooling, for the rapid production of complex plastic parts. By eliminating the time and money required for traditional tooling, Digital Molding saves upfront costs and enables immediate part revisions without operational downtime.
