Automotive plants can turn isolated factory-floor AM wins into recurring application families with an assessed production route, clear acceptance method and named owner.
Automotive · Industrial Manufacturing
See how one delayed fixture can hold up production, and how a designed, proven digital tool gives engineering teams a route to take that delay back.
Industrial Manufacturing
Learn why fit, retention, removal, material exposure and accountability must work together before a protective cap enters aerospace maintenance.
Aerospace · Defense
Decide when a physical anatomical model helps a clinical or device team inspect spatial relationships, rehearse an interaction or explain anatomy.
Medical – Anatomical / Surgical Models
A high-temperature resin may suit selected heated applications, but one datasheet value cannot define finished-part performance. Load, exposure time, geometry, mounting, environment and production controls belong in the test plan.
Industrial Manufacturing · Aerospace
See what full-colour PolyJet prototypes can reproduce, what affects realism and when the added visual fidelity is worth the cost.
Consumer Products · Industrial Manufacturing
A portable 3D scan can look reliable in a brochure and still create scrap, delay or false acceptance when bias, repeatability and volumetric error are treated as one number.
Energy · Industrial Manufacturing
A gear inspection gauge only becomes a production tool when the contact geometry stays reliable through repeated checks, repeated handling, and repeated use across the shop floor.
Industrial Manufacturing · Automotive
Support geometry in metal additive manufacturing affects heat flow, stress, and removal effort. NX 2606 puts more of that control inside build preparation.
Defense · Aerospace
A documented Ruixin Automotive stamping-die application shows how full-surface scanning and scan-to-CAD deviation mapping gave the toolroom a specific area for draw-bead adjustment during die tryout.
Automotive · Aerospace
Industrial 3D printing speed should be judged by usable-part delivery, not machine build time alone. File preparation, machine setup, warm-up, post-processing, support removal, inspection and operator time can change which route actually delivers parts fastest.
Aerospace · Defense
More than 25,000 flight-ready parts were produced for Airbus in 2025 and that more than 200,000 certified polymer parts were already in active service. The figures provide a useful way to understand how polymer AM volume can accumulate across recurring applications.
