“In general, it costs approximately KRW 1.5 million ($1,240) to outsource the production of a gearbox prototype. With the Stratasys Objet30 Pro, the maximum cost is KRW 400,000 ($330).”

A Clear Winner

|
Founded in 1999, i-Tork Controls specializes in designing and producing high-quality electric and pneumatic actuators. To continue expanding both domestically and internationally, i-Tork needed to improve manufacturing efficiency. One of the manufacturing steps that consumed too much time was creating prototypes for new products, which was originally done via CNC machining. A whole month often passed before the first prototype was presented to the R&D department.

Technology Eases Pain

Dr. Gong, at the Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University, is an expert in the treatment of trigeminal neuralgia. He typically performs percutaneous micro balloon compression, a procedure in which nerve fibers are damaged to block the pain. Inspired by other 3D printing surgical applications, Dr. Gong set out to develop patient–specific guide plates to navigate the route to the oval foramen. To assist him, Dr. Gong consulted Klein Wang, application engineer at Stratasys who specializes in medical solutions.

Flattening the Learning Curve

Cadavers are very expensive: to acquire, transports, store, maintain and later disposal also adds a lot of costs. They are rare, and difficult to obtain in developing countries. This means that students cannot get enough hands-on training; most of the time, they are passive observers. Practice makes perfect, but what if you don’t get to practice? Furthermore, pathologies cannot be ordered: you get what you get. With Stratasys’ DAP (J750™ Digital Anatomy™ 3D Printer), Fusetec is manufacturing a wide variety of medical models that solve all these problems.
Click read more to find out how medical models printed with Stratasys’ DAP is revolutionizing surgical training and planning.
“3D printing has really changed the way in which we train our surgeon.”

Department Chair of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery

Multi-Cartridge Discount Expiration
We have been offering multi-pack discounts on cartridges to encourage “bulk orders” (4% discount on quantities of 4 or more). Yet, the bulk orders from partners are significantly higher, and resellers are often confused about the prices when 4 vs 5 or 8 vs 11 cartridges. Furthermore, this discount is not applicable to over 80% of the orders.
As a result, we will terminate this discount soon: the last day of discount is January 31, 2020, and starting from February 1, 2020, all cartridges will be sold at standard prices. If you have any questions, please reach out to [email protected].

Figurine: A New Hot Application
There has been a steady increase in 3D printed figurines around the world, and we have more and more opportunities that are related to the figurine industry in our funnel. It has been noticed that many customers who have Z-Corp (CJP) are hoping to upgrade their systems.
The following are the two reasons why it is worth our efforts to focus on the figurine manufacturers. First, each account may purchase multiple printers, after they are made aware of the value that our technologies can deliver. Second, figurine manufacturers tend to produce 24/7, which means an extremely high consumption of materials.
Schiner 3D Repro has been using J750 to bring ultra-realistic, first-of-its-kind 3D printed snow globes to life and reduced the production time by as much as 85% (for both one-off customized and large orders). The layer thickness of those models is as fine as 0.014mm; the colors are vivid, and the PolyJet materials are stable over the time.
“the precise edges, vivid color definition and smooth surface finish achievable with the J750 are vital to ensuring the high-end standard our customers are looking for.”
JÖRN-HENRIK STEIN, CEO OF SCHINER
You may download the Schiner case study. More success stories on manufacturing from local customers will be released in the next few months.
