Stratasys Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) systems
Injection-moulding company Thogus Products has decided to shift its focus to small-volume moulding and highly engineered materials using Stratasys Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) systems from Laser Lines.
The company purchased two Fortus 400mc machines, followed by two Dimension SST 1200es 3D Printers, a smoothing station and a Fortus 900mc 3D Production System.
It later purchased the ABSplus, ABSi, ABS-M30, PC-ABS, PC, Ultem 9085 and PPSF/PPSU materials to help it handle the concept ideation, functional prototyping, prototype tooling, filtering, end-of-arm tooling and final production.
Key benefits of product application
- Enables plastics processing, manufacturing and product development
- Can build a part in hours from a CAD file
- Improves processes on the manufacturing floor
- Takes direct labour cost off of the manufacturing floor
- Saves Thogus in excess of $150,000 (£95,000) per year for factory automation, fixturing, advanced prototyping and product verification prior to tooling
