General Motors - 3D printing overhead conveyor hangers
General Motors is a world leader in transportation innovations including electric cars and self-driving technology. The production of the Chevy Bolt electric car required a overhead conveyor pallet design, made up of risers that support and position parts along the assembly line. The existing conveyor encountered infrequent but periodic downtime due to excess tooling weight on the automation equipment. Aluminum risers were considered because they offered a lighter alternative but that solution would also involve sending the conveyor pallets offsite for periodic maintenance and repair.

Radford Motors - Customization of high quality luxury automotives
Radford Motors builds exclusive luxury automobiles, focusing on high craftsmanship, limited-run production, customization and performance. Radford Motors’ first model run of only 62 units precluded the use of conventional manufacturing approaches that rely on mass production’s economy of scale. Faster, more economical means of prototyping than the conventional method of CNC machining were necessary. Costs and logistics to furnish a full complement of factory tooling were not viable with this highly customized, limited-production business model.

Sierra Space - Readying spaceplane for flight with FDM® technology
Space is unforgiving. Temperature extremes, radiation, and orbital debris stand ready to cause havoc with any ill-prepared spacecraft.
Ever since humans first ventured beyond Earth’s protective atmosphere, the vehicles used to get there and back have pushed the limits of engineering and material science. It’s a challenge the team at Sierra Space, who build the Dream Chaser® spaceplane, a multi-mission utility vehicle for transporting cargo into low-Earth orbit destinations like the International Space Station, faces every day.
