What will I learn?
Join our engineers on Stand 5-G80 to get hands-on with innovative 3D printers and latest materials so you come away with an understanding of how 3D printing can solve your problems.
Focused on reducing operational costs, cutting lead times, on-shoring & improving your supply chains and help you reach new markets faster, CREAT3D will be bringing a range of applications that demonstrate the versatility that Additive Manufacturing delivers.
Our team will help you explore 3D printed tooling, jigs & fixtures, EOAT (end-of-arm-tooling), MRO (maintenance and repair parts), manufacturing aids, mould tools and low volume end-use parts.
Explore the Additive Application Wall on our stand to learn from other companies how they have successfully applied Additive Manufacturing and have seen large cost and time savings.
Plus, you’ll be able to get up close to the latest technology advancements by exploring...
- The wide range of materials designed for the factory floor including non-marring Nylons, silicones and elastomers, high temperature materials including PEKK, Metals, composites, ESD safe, Flame Retardant, metal detectable and food safe materials
- The affordable and comprehensive SLS system, Formlabs Fuse, for both prototyping and small batch production
- The latest printer capable of printing in both metal and composite materials, the Markforged FX10, with Stainless Steel 316L
