3D printing in plastic is a strong, high-quality, and competitive alternative to conventional steel components.

This is attested by the Danish company Weldingdroid. A slider measuring 225 x 210 x 140 mm plays a vital role in one of their automated welding systems. However, producing the detail in steel takes a long time.

Challenge: to reduce manufacturing time for WeldingDroid.

Prototal | Damvig – 3D Printed Solutions developed a unique 3D printed plastic component using SLS technology from EOS, a solution that shortened production time without compromising quality.

"I am surprised at how strong and durable the solution turned out to be. The quality is top-notch, it doesn't break, and one would think the solution was cast. It shows how far you can go by combining expertise and advanced technology," says Kevin Christensen, CEO of WeldingDroid.

When WeldingDroid needs more 3D printed sliders, they contact us, and the desired 3D printed parts are delivered within a few days. WeldingDroid has reduced its time-to-market, increased scalability, and strengthened its market position.

This is what creates value-adding collaboration. A journey that elevates the product to new levels.

We want to be part of your journey.
