Top 1: Adopting 3D printing to reduce costs & lead times
Nieka Systems works with clients in the mining and cement production industries to prepare equipment. The company uses Inconel crucible clips for production purposes that it has to outsource. Finally, Nieka Systems decided to turn to metal 3D printing to reduce costs and lead times. They explain that their lead time has been reduced from four weeks to four days thanks to additive manufacturing, and in particular the Metal X from Markforged. On top of this, the team has been able to implement design changes and improve the quality of their 3D printed Inconel 625 crucible clips, which can withstand rapid and repeated temperature cycles. Find out how Nieka Systems made the switch to 3D printing and implemented the solution in their business below!
Top 2: The Genesis Eco Screen
We told you a few weeks ago about the BANYAN Eco Wall, a fully 3D printed irrigated green wall, featuring an embedded drainage system, which also showcased bionic design. This was a project initiated by NOWLAB using BigRep’s large-format 3D printers. As of today, GENESIS Eco Screen is the new product from NOWLAB – it is a fully 3D printed urban biodiversity habitat, measuring an impressive 4 by 4 meters. Check it out below!
