East/West Industries - 3D-printed dies for metal forming
Part of East/West's production includes the manufacturing of sheet metal parts. One particular customer order required the use of a milled forming die. However, the die was damaged shortly before the job was due to start.
As East/West's machine shop was already busy producing parts, a new die could only have been manufactured externally, which would have jeopardized the customer's delivery deadlines. Even if the machine shop had sufficient capacity, a new die would require the purchase of tool steel and time to machine the complex die shape, which would also jeopardize the delivery schedule.

ProductionToGo - Functional spare parts for the maritime enthusiast
Dr. Ulrich Koops, Product Category Manager at ProductionToGo, fulfilled his dream of owning his own sailing boat with the Dufour 2800, which was built in 1981. After more than 40 years since the keel was laid, there was a lot of work to be done, but that was precisely what appealed to him.
While other parts were already hard to come by, pulleys for the sheets were the biggest problem, as they were not available individually.
Instead, Dr. Koops would have had to buy a complete deflection block containing five of these rollers for €119.50 per deflection block.

East/West Industries, Inc. - 3D-printed metal forming dies
East/West Industries, a company in the aerospace industry, faced the challenge of replacing a damaged forming die on short notice in order to meet delivery deadlines. Since its in-house manufacturing capacity was fully utilized, outsourcing the production would have resulted in significant delays.
Thanks to the use of the Stratasys Fortus® 450mc and FDM Nylon 12CF material, the company opted for additive manufacturing of the full-size die. The 3D-printed solution met all strength and precision requirements and could be quickly implemented in-house.
