By utilizing metal 3D printers, it is possible to produce parts that are already discontinued or parts for which there are no drawings, without the need for molds or equipment.
By utilizing metal 3D printers, it is possible to perform reverse engineering on parts that are no longer in production or parts for which there are no drawings, without the need for molds or equipment. 【Specific Steps】 1. Measure existing parts using a non-contact 3D scanner. 2. Create and correct 3D data from the acquired scan data. 3. Select the optimal 3D printer, set the manufacturing conditions, and produce the part. 4. Perform finishing processes (such as polishing or threading of necessary parts). Our company has successfully reverse-engineered parts from trams manufactured in the 1940s and 1950s using a metal 3D printer, passing bench tests and operational trials. These parts are currently installed and in operation on the actual vehicles. Additionally, thanks to the unique layered manufacturing technology of metal 3D printers, we have achieved approximately 40% weight reduction by changing the material from cast iron to titanium alloy. If you are also concerned about "strength," please feel free to download our materials. 【Examples of Reverse Engineering Applications Using Metal 3D Printers】 ■ Trams ■ Classic cars ■ Various supplementary and replacement parts ■ Discarded mechanical parts from molds and die-casting
