Production Jigs & Fixtures Manufacturing Tools End Use Parts
Jigs & Fixtures Fastest growing application Large variety 3 categories: Assembly / Manufacturing Testing / Inspection Storage / Transportation
J&F - Assembly / Manufacturing Increased Efficiency & Quality by reduced tool weight and optimized ergonomics Uniform operation across sites and individual workers holding fixtures, assembly jigs, trim and drill guides, etc.
J&F - Assembly / Manufacturing
J&F - Test / Inspection / QC Frequent changes Customized jigs and fixtures Automated Inspections (inline) Reduced time & cost vs. conventional machining Low cost of continuous improvements
J&F - Transportation/Storage/Protection Move and store parts and partially assembled products Part carriers, assembly line pallets Design freedom and efficiency Production grade materials Eases 5S organizational efforts (aka 5A) 5A: Aussortieren Aufräumen (Arbeitsmittel ergonomisch anordnen) Arbeitsplatzsauberkeit Anordnung zur Regel machen Alle Punkte einhalten und verbessern
Sheet Metal Forming Metal forming with FDM Tools Hydroforming and rubber pad press processes Form a variety of materials Aluminum (Al) Stainless Steel (SS) Titanium (Ti) Detailed documentation available Why FDM? Durable Materials Additive process reduces lead time,reduces tool costs FDM Material ABS PC ULTEM Forming Pressure 3,000 psi (21 MPa) 6,000 psi (41 MPa) 10,000 psi (69 MPa)
Sand Casting Plastic model as master Up to 5000 shots proven Resistant to most binders Sand Core Boxes Why Stratasys: FDM materials are strong enough to support sand weight Make large parts
Paper Pulp Molding Molded paper pulp for packaging applications Environmentally Green packaging Traditional tool very expensive, high amount of manual work Why FDM? Custom porosity ideal for pulp molding Chemical resistance Cost & Time reduction
Soluble Core Composites Core geometry built with FDM soluble support material Wrap the core with composite Cure composite part Dissolve FDM core Best fit for: Low- volume production (10 s-100 s) Complex internal geometries <140 C curing temperature
Automation Additive process easily produced channels No secondary operations required Cost Reduction vs. Conventional Channels provided sufficient vacuum Gripper was made in a few days Easy Improvements Protecting Mold
End-Use Parts Production of finished goods & sub-assemblies Production-grade thermoplastics Pilot / bridge / full production FDM is a best fit when Low-volume production (1 s, 10 s, 100 s, 1000 s) High cost parts (complex, custom, etc.) Batch production (Just-in-time)
