2 3D Printing Impact Throughout today you will be impacted by 3D printing multiple times

3 The Common Misconceptions in 3D Printing Every home will have one There are lots of new system coming to the market The price is falling rapidly It is very new technology I'll be ahead of the curve with this or I'll wait and see what happens

4 The Truth About 3D Printing 3D printing has a small impact in lots of different areas in the production process. But can have a massive impact in the overall cost and time to market of products.

5 Companies Who Are Already Using 3D Printing Technology

6 Additive Manufacturing Phrases Additive Manufacturing is known by many names: 3D Printing Rapid Prototyping Rapid Tooling Rapid Technologies Rapid Manufacturing Direct Digital Manufacturing

7 Stratasys Technology PolyJet Photopolymer FDM - Thermoplastic Printing Head Liquefier Plastic Filament Extrusion Support Material Model Material Instant UV Curing Material Cartridge

8 The 3D Printing Process

9 Primary Applications for Additive Manufacturing Additive Manufacturing Concept Models Functional Prototypes Manufacturing Tools End-Use Parts Established / Traditional (Design) Direct Digital Manufacturing (Manufacturing)

10 Who Needs It? Any company involved in the design and manufacture of physical products

11 Cost The Real Truth About Additive Manufacturing Volume in terms of quantity of parts Mass Production 3D printing is great for is short run, low volume customisation of parts. 3D printing is not suited to mass production as this is not cost effective Parts may need post processing Graph shows break even point Additive Manufacturing Volume

12 Cost Manufacturing For Growth (New Product) The longer a product stays in the design cycle, the longer it takes to get to market, meaning less potential profit for the company. 3D printing can be used to optimise the design process for increased profitability by reducing the time from initial concept to a market ready product. Fast collaboration with engineering, marketing and quality assurance can empower designers to make adjustments throughout the design process and follow-up testing. Decision making point Mass Production Additive Manufacturing Time

13 Relative Costs Prototype Early And Often To Minimise The Cost Of Change 80% of Product Cost Finalised with 3D Printing 10, ,000 1 Concept Engineering Detail Tooling Production Source: Rosenberg, Boston University

14 Best Fit Additive Manufacturing Summary Relatively low volumes Short run production Bridge to tooling High part complexity Eliminate expensive tooling Reduce long lead times Part properties Aesthetics not critical Finishing processes feasible Physical properties acceptable

15 Benefits Of Additive Manufacturing Reduce Development Costs Preserve IP Confidentiality Unleash Creativity and Improve Design Enable Uncompromised Design Mass Customisation Reduce Costs Low Volume Parts

16 Normal Mass Customisation

17 Manufacturing Tooling FDM printed tooling can drastically reduce cost and time Jigs, Fixtures Hydroforming tools Drilling/cutting guides Carbon lay up tooling

18 Volvo Manufacturing Tooling Volvo Trucks chose additive manufacturing for 30 engine assembly tools These game-changing gains in time are also improving the production plant s overall efficiency and flexibility, helping meet delivery times while reducing waste and costs. Jenny estimates that, where customised or small quantities of tools are required.

19 Airbus Flight Parts for A350 XWB ULTEM 9085 resin provides high strength -to-weight ratio and is FST (flame, smoke, and toxicity) compliant for aircraft interior applications. This enables Airbus to manufacture strong, lighter weight parts while substantially reducing production time and manufacturing costs.

20 Flight test parts SelectTech Geospatial engineers perfected this drone through many iterations. Test flights were executed with functional prototypes made on an additive manufacturing system.

21 Advanced Composite Structures Additive Manufacturing Reduces Tooling Cost and Lead Time to Produce Composite Aerospace Parts Moving from traditional methods involving CNC machining to producing composite tooling with FDM has helped us substantially improve our competitive position. Bruce Anning, Owner, ACS How does FDM compare with traditional tooling for ACS? Method Cost Lead Time CNC machining $2, days FDM Technology $412 2 days Savings $1,588 (79%) 43 days (96%)

22 Piper Aircraft Piper Reduces the Cost and Lead-time of Hydroforming Tooling to Build a Personal Jet I can program an FDM part in 10 minutes while a typical CNC program takes four hours to write. Jacob Allenbaugh, Manufacturing Engineer, Piper Aircraft
