Fortus Thermoplastic Applications

Parts for Functional Prototyping

Prototypes produced by Fortus systems are more accurate and durable than can be produced via other additive fabrication processes. They can be used throughout the design and functional testing process. These prototypes speed your time to market, drive down costs, and unleash you from the limitations of lesser grade systems. Make multiple design iterations to optimize design and find design errors early in the design process when changes are the least expensive to make.

Parts for Manufacturing Tools

Manufacturing tools, such as jigs, fixtures, drill guides, and check gauges can be quickly and cost-effectively produced with Fortus additive fabrication systems — a process called direct digital manufacturing (or rapid manufacturing). This process eliminates machining or tooling, shaving months and tens of thousands of dollars off scheduling.

End-Use Parts

Instead of machining parts or cutting a tool for molding, direct digital manufacturing (DDM) can be a cost-effective and simpler alternative. Now the production process can start as soon as the part's CAD file is sent to an additive fabrication machine without the cost and time associated with tooling or machining.
