Thermoplastics: A Solid Choice For 3D Printing
When designing a new product, engineers can best predict its end performance by prototyping with a material as similar to it as possible. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) thermoplastics use the same types of raw materials found in injection molding-and that's why 3D printing is a wise choice. You'll learn the unique properties of each thermoplastic and find out how these aspects can help you choose the right material.
Racing to the Finish with Additive Manufacturing
Learn how to fuel your in-house design and manufacturing processes by using Additive Manufacturing. Fine tune your ideas to chop weeks from your design process and help your company save money. Test form, fit and function, explore one iteration after another, and let FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) Systems take the heat. That’s what the engineers at Joe Gibbs Racing do. As one of NASCAR's most recognized teams, JGR has just three days to diagnose a problem, find a solution, and implement it before the car ships to the next race. Learn how you can apply the lessons of the fast-paced world of racing to your job.

Injection Molding vs. Direct Digital Manufacturing: How to Pick the Winning Technology for Low-Volume Production
Low-volume manufacturing can mean producing anything from 1 part to 5,000 parts. In some cases, it’s possible to reduce low-olume production costs by 50%, 75%, and even more, by replacing traditional tooling with direct digital manufacturing (DDM). But DDM isn't for every application. Attend this webinar to determine whether this alternate process makes sense for your organization. If it's right, you'll learn how to become a hero to your CFO by showing how to reduce ongoing production costs.

Direct Digital Manufacturing is Here: 4 Part Presentation
The use of additive fabrication processes is what differentiates direct digital manufacturing (DDM) from conventional manufacturing methods, and it is from these technologies that unique advantages and opportunities arise. Direct form 3D digital data, a component is manufactured -layer-by-layer - without machining, molding or casting.
Application Webinar: FDM Technology: A Faster Method to Produce Tools
Fortus customers dramatically decrease time and cost by producing manufacturing tools on their in-house Fortus system. FDM, the technology Fortus machines use to produce parts, transforms the manufacturing process by shortening production time, cutting labor costs and decreasing lead time from weeks to hours.
Application Webinar: FDM Thermoforming Molds Reduce Time and Cost by As Much As 60-90%
Traditional tooling for thermoforming molds is costly and time consuming. Using a Fortus 3D Production System with FDM technology to construct thermoform tooling, reduces time and cost involved by 60-90%. View this webinar to learn the FDM process applied to producing thermoforming molds and see ROI examples.
