Resultado de imagem para intamsys logoThe company INTAMSYS (a manufacturer of industrial Additive Manufacturing systems) has launched a new competition. Organizations, companies, research, and education institutions are invited to take part in the INTAMSYS industrial 3D Printing Global Competition. The theme of the design challenge is jigs and fixtures.

 

During our business visits in the USA, Europe and China, we’ve learned first-hand from our customers and partners that 3D printed jigs and fixtures in polycarbonate, nylon and PEEK have significantly improved lead time, worker safety and costs on their production floors.”

-Chun Pin Lim, Marketing Director of INTAMSYS.

This clip by INTAMSYS illustrates the advantages that Additive Manufacturing has in the manufacture of jigs and fixtures. The ability to make such manufacturing tools from functional materials and higher grade thermoplastics using 3D printing technologies can result in lower costs, lighter components and decreased lead times.
