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.
