Rapid PrototypingReduce Prototype Iterations From Weeks to HoursThe benefits of using additive manufacturing for prototyping were some of the first to be realized. During that age of Additive 1.0, manufacturers learned that they could skip the lengthy lead times and costly tool changes during initial iterations and accepted it despite its limitations. Additive 2.0 introduced rapid prototyping where manufacturers can use technology like the Essentium High Speed Extrusion (HSE™) 3D Printer to reduce the time to prototype to a few hours instead of days and instead of iterating with ABS or PA, they can design with the end-use material.WHY HIGH SPEED EXTRUSION? Reduce Time-to-PrototypeInstead of waiting overnight for prototypes to print, iterate through rounds of designs in a single day. Access Broad Material PortfolioPrevent late-stage design changes and use end-use materials to create prototypes that behave and look like the final part. Receive Informed Feedback on IterationsGather real-time feedback on prints rather than blind designing on desktop printers. Recommended Materials Essentium HTNEssentium HTN (high-temperature nylon) is a polyamide-based chemistry that has improved mechanical and thermal properties compared to standard nylons.Find out more » Essentium PCTGEssentium PCTG is an easy-to-use material with incredible surface finish, superior toughness, and chemical resistance – use it just like PETG.Find out more »Recommended Machines HSE 280i HT 3D PRINTERThe HSE 280i HT 3D Printer is the first industrial 3D printer equipped with true independent dual extruders, giving users the ability to print support for parts with complex geometries.
