Engineers at Airbus quickly generate models for wind-tunnel tests. They use a System 7000 to produce accurate parts that assemble into nearly complete subsystems, such as the landing gear. The ...

Prototyping: With the use of CAD and massive amounts of digital simulation software available, it can often seem superfluous to make early appearance models, or even undertake early testing of new ...

UB biomedical engineers have acquired a rapid-prototyping machine to aid their groundbreaking efforts to manufacture living tissues and organs, and fabricate customized implants and prostheses, among ...

The Dimension (above) from Stratasys creates prototypes in ABS. The Dimension is used primarily in the design stage, while the FDM Maxum?also by Stratasys?is used to create higher-resolution ...

Rolands compact, low-cost device for subtractive rapid prototyping. DWX-30 uses subtractive rapid prototyping (SRP) to cut on the top, bottom, and at +/-20 degrees for complex geometry. A tool sensor ...
