In the Festo Fast Factory
quite a few
one off items are produced – quickly and
tailored to the customer’s requirements.
Even short runs benefit from low cost
production.
Rapid manufacturing speeds up product development
Thermoplastic powder:
the base material for producing models, samples, prototypes, tools
and final products, such as the adaptive gripper DHDG.
Rapid prototyping in aluminium:
the material
is applied as molton powder wherever the
component is to be produced later (above).
Aluminium laser melting:
a 2.5 kg heat exchanger
for a test system is the largest component that has
so far been created with rapid manufacturing.
