Introducing a case where a prototype of a surgical tool was created using the METAL X 3D printer!
Surgical instrument manufacturer Shukla Medical has reduced its annual costs by 3D printing prototypes of surgical instruments using "METAL X." "METAL X" offers various advantages over CNC machining, such as reduced lead times for prototypes and increased design freedom, enabling the production of tools with complex shapes. CNC machining of metal prototypes takes 7 to 40 days for manufacturing, while 3D printing of parts takes only 2.7 days. With "METAL X," it is possible to test more complex shapes, allowing for the avoidance of greater design risks. 【Features of METAL X】 ■ FFF-based 3D printer capable of printing in metal ■ Uses filament that combines metal powder and polymer materials ■ Compatible with various metal alloys, including A2 tool steel and D2 tool steel *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
