| Packaging Design |
3D Printing has become and indispensable step in prototyping Packaging Designs allowing you access
to physical models to examine and test before commitment to the manufacturing process.
As Packaging is a critical element to the product mix, 3D printing facilitates
reduced time to market in manufacturing, better understanding and communication in product designs
between the client and manufacturer and to make rapid tooling to manufacture those products.

| Rapid Prototypes |
Rapid prototyping is the most common name given to a host of related technologies that are used to fabricate physical objects directly from CAD data sources. These methods are unique in that they add and bond materials in layers to form objects.
Such systems are also known by the names additive fabrication, three dimensional printing, solid freeform fabrication (SFF) and layered manufacturing.
It is widely used by engineers as a way to reduce time to market in manufacturing, to better understand and communicate product designs, and to make rapid tooling to manufacture those products.

| Metal Castings |
The process involves printing moulds and cores on a 3D Printer directly from digital data, eliminating
the pattern and core box production step in the traditional sand casting process.
Metal is then poured into the 3D printed moulds.
The technology allows you to prototype
parts in metal that were previously cost and time prohibitive.

| Architecture |
Leading Architects use 3D printers from conceptual design through construction. From models printed directly from CAD, to iterations of detail components for a design study, 3D printers are the fastest, most cost effective way to fabricate complex geometries in high definition colour.
- Models for Concept Development
- Design Study of Critical Elements
- High Definition Colour Presentation Models

| Education |
Educational institutions integrate 3D printers into many departments to enhance programs and expose students to leading edge technologies. The printers are indispensable in providing students access to physical models.
3D Factory models are used in disciplines such as Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Design, Fine Arts and Bio-Medical Research.

Challenge
Using 3D landscape/cityscape models for education, situational analysis, and communication requires the timely conversion of geographic information systems (GIS) data to physical form. Unfortunately the traditional processes for building models - hand made, CNC, or moulded - are slow and expensive. Turnaround can take weeks and cost thousands of rand.
Solution
3D printers enable you to output high-quality terrain, urban and subsurface maps in hours at very low cost. The technology will fundamentally improve the way you use GIS data to communicate, plus enable you to analyse critical elements with quick, inexpensive, and easily reproducible 3D models.

| Healthcare |
3D Printers enable surgeons to rapidly produce inexpensive 3D models to obtain better case information to reduce operating time, enhance patient and doctor communication and improve patient outcomes.
Applications include pre-surgical planning, implant pre-contouring, custom implants, practitioner communication, presentation tools, student/resident education, prosthesis design.

| Entertainment & Arts |
Electronic games, animation applications and consumer software are generating vast amounts
of 3D data in the form of avatars, characters and other imaginative creations.
The unique colour capabilities of 3D printers provide 3D software developers,
service bureaus, and consumers to produce custom avatars, figurines, and other
creations with ease.
