Rapid Response Tooling
“Stratasys additive composite tooling solutions have allowed SSL to respond to design releases and changes with unprecedented speed at significantly reduced cost, without compromising part quality or performance.”
Although machining is a repeatable and reliable production method, the need for an operator and the subtractive nature of the process result in high costs, long lead times and significant material waste. FDM technology can address all of these pain points.
