Andritz Kaiser uses UltiMaker S5 3D Printers and carbon fibre-reinforced nylon 3D printing material to replace the metal parts of its enormous stamping machines, creating more than 150 machine components, such as brackets and covers, reducing the amount of metal used directly - and vastly reducing the weight.
Gerhard Schubert GMbH uses UltiMaker 3D printing technology to develop custom-ordered parts for its top-loading packaging machines. They created a way for the packaging line to produce multiple different formats on the same machine without needing to rebuild the complete machine.
Kawasaki has found an innovative solution to protect their wheel hubs during transportation by utilising the UltiMaker S5 Pro Bundles and Ultimaker ABS material. They have created a customised cover using UltiMaker 3D printing technology that safeguards the wheel hubs when the production line workers need to move the wheel around the assembly lines.
Heineken, a world renowned beverage company, has embraced UltiMaker cutting-edge 3D printing technology to optimise their production process. By leveraging the advanced capabilities of the UltiMaker S5 printer and utilising the flexible TPU material, Heineken has successfully developed conveyor belt "bumpers" / pack spinners that efficiently guide glass bottles into position on pallets for seamless transportation.
The Royal Dutch Navy has embraced the use of UltiMaker 3D printing technology in their defence operations. Specifically, they have employed the UltiMaker 3D printer to design a modular antenna fixture for their high-speed interference boat. This innovative approach allows for easy adjustment and improvement of the antenna as new and more advanced electronics are integrated into the vehicle.
