WHAT WE ACHIEVE

operating efficiency

cost savings excluding import costs

savings in delivery time vs. import time

THE CHALLENGE

This element wears out with the handling of the operators over time. Due to its complex geometry, it is not possible to machine the part in one block, but the element has to be divided into 3 different parts.

THE SOLUTION

After analyzing the geometry of the element and taking advantage of the benefits of this technology to reproduce complex geometries, we designed a model that meets all the requirements of simpler functionality. The prices of the spare part and the delivery time were substantially reduced.

HOW WE DO IT

Pieza original

Pieza original que se compone de tres piezas independientes.

Diseño

Diseño en CAD de sus componentes en uno solo.

Optimización

Solo se requiere una pieza y no es necesario los agujeros para ensamblaje.

Producción

Impresión 3D en Onyx con fibra de vidrio

Original part

An original piece made up of three independent parts

Design

CAD design of its components in one.

Optimization

Only one piece is required and no assembly holes are necessary.

Production

3D printing in Onyx with fiberglass

"The part works perfectly and because it is only one piece, the fit is more precise."
