- 9. Personal Market: Affordable 3D printers and tools, software, and apps to make 3D printing easy and userfriendly Business Market: Full array of industrial 3D printers and range of solutions from design through production
- 10. Redfish Instruments’ new iPhone/iPad enabled wireless digital multimeter (iDVM) Challenge: Created initial design for iDVM device, needed functional prototypes for review & testing before production
- 11. Solution: • 3D Systems QuickQuote engine used to quote and order ABS plastic prototypes for top & bottom of design case. • After revisions with help from 3DS Quickparts engineers, implemented further design revisions & testing • For final production, Quickparts provided Low Volume Injection Molded parts from aluminum molds made from prototypes Benefits: • Redfish benefitted from 3DS “prototype to production” capabilities using single vendor from concept through production • Rapid development process shortened time required to bring a new product to market
- 12. • Stratasys • Merger with Objet in 2012 created 2nd largest 3D printer company • Until recently, focused primarily on 3D printer hardware • Little made-to-order business or software/design platforms • Currently no personal consumer products (but planning to acquire Makerbot) • ExOne&Voxeljet • Smaller companies, recently public • Systems and solutions
- 13. • Additive manufacturing likely to become transformative technology both for personal use and industry • 3D Systems is well positioned to remain the industry leader because of its comprehensive portfolio of hardware, software, and personal/business solutions • Expect explosive growth in market for 3D printing in next few years, both industrial and personal applications
