EASA FORM-1
Tools for composite and sheet metal forming
Fabricating specialized tools for small-batch manufacturing could easily ruin the feasibility or schedule of a project. Complex geometries of molds, forming tools, specialized drilling jigs can be printed in one go, reducing the required lead times of the finished products.
On-demand manufacturing -
MOQ of 1
Reduced lead time
- down to hours
Reduced weight
and parts count
Easy customization
– minimal additional costs
0 waste manufacturing -
no leftovers
Solutions
Challenge
Custom, high-complexity tools are not always feasible for small batch production
Solution
3D-printed tools are an economical alternative to tools traditionally made from materials such as stainless steel
Challenge
Creating custom tools takes time and can increase lead time to start manufacturing components
Solution
Tools can be printed on-site where needed and when needed and adjusted quickly as needed
Challenge
Missing specialized tools such as drilling jigs can leads to higher rates of user error
Solution
Tools with guide holes can be quickly manufactured for price drilling operations
