ERIKS have been utilising UltiMaker 3D printing for many applications, printing prototypes, jigs and fixtures, as well as end-use parts that were previously impossible to make. One of the example applications at ERIKS is a 3D printed safety stop to help operators to changing a film roll. This tool prevents the roll from accidentally falling out, increasing the safety of the operator. By utilising 3D printing, ERIKS are able to streamline processes and increase safety for their employees.
At UltiMaker's manufacturing facility in Zaltbommel, Netherlands, workers have successfully utilised the advanced capabilities of the UltiMaker S5 3D printer to create a custom assembly pliers. This innovative tool, known as the pre-feeder spring pliers, greatly simplifies the process of inserting a spring into the printer's pre-feeder housing. As a result, operators experience improved efficiency and productivity, leading to enhanced overall output quality.
