Our 3DP printer from Dimension Works has been a game-changer. Being able to 3D print curved prototype tooling in strong materials has made operators’ work much easier, freeing up resources, and increasing overall productivity. Using our printer to test and prove designs with a functional prototype, while saving time and money, is a win.
