Why use Industrial 3D Printing for novel designs?
Novel design research aims to create parts that perform better and function more efficiently. This practice is well established in industries such as aerospace, where aircraft parts are industrially 3D printed to be lighter while retaining the strength characteristics of traditionally manufactured parts. Industrial 3D printing can also be used to manufacture parts that cannot be made using traditional techniques such as die casting and forging combined with traditional machining techniques. Similarly, Elimold’s customers use industrial 3D printing to manufacture novel designs. We have printed a variety of novel designs to support various research projects.
