The 3DX Industries’ company has been 3D printing parts for Alaska General Seafoods using its binder jet process, which requires no post machining. Now, the company announced that the parts have been performing excellently. Currently being used in Alaska General Seafoods’ Alaska facility, the components were designed as OEM replacement parts for the seafood canning line.
“We are very pleased with how these parts have performed during our production seasons,” said Karry Lattig of Alaska General Seafoods, and follows “They were in a high contact/high use section of our production line, and they performed beyond what we expected they would. After 2 full seasons under extreme conditions, there is virtually no wear on these parts, which in comparison to the original parts we were using is nothing short of exceptional.”
There has been no shut down required to remove and replace worn parts using the metal printed parts from 3DX which has not only saved us time, but costs as well. We will continue to use 3DX Industries to supply us with new and replacement parts for our facilities as needed throughout the coming seasons.”
