January Special Focus Issue: Design for Additive
In this Special Focus Issue of Digital Engineering, learn about the latest advancements in design for additive manufacturing, including new software tools, additive in automotive, custom medical devices, and more.
Stratasys Ltd. launches the North American Stratasys Tooling Center (NASTC), a new collaboration with Automation Intelligence, LLC (AI), at AI’s manufacturing site in Flint, Mi. This dedicated tooling hub is designed to assist manufacturers validate and scale practical applications for additive manufacturing in production environments.
The NASTC operates the Stratasys F3300 and F900 3D printers, providing hands-on access to engineering resources, and create applications focused on tooling solutions such as jigs, fixtures, end-of-arm tooling, and North American Automotive Metric Standards (NAAMS) blocks.
“This Center of Excellence will have a significant impact for manufacturers showing how additive fits into their production environment,” says Fadi Abro, director of Global Automotive & Mobility at Stratasys. “With the launch of the NASTC, we are addressing real-world challenges at this new center. This incubator for advanced manufacturing is designed to enable teams to iterate, validate and scale tooling applications—rapidly. It sets the stage for designing solutions to meet the growing demand for localized, on-demand production solutions worldwide.”
