"To meet continued demand, we have scaled up production capacity to allow us to deliver complete systems for fast installation." Over the past six months, Studio Systems worldwide have fabricated more than 8,000 parts. Key use applications range from functional prototyping of extruder nozzles and shock absorber pistons; to jigs & fixtures including robotic end effectors and brake caliper fixture; to manufacturing tooling of zipper molds inserts and extrusion dies; and low volume production of gears and motor mounts. Each of these benchmark parts has shown drastic cost reduction - some by as much as 90 percent relative to machining and selective laser melting (SLM) - as well as speed in fabrication, producing prts in days instead of weeks or months.
