Learn more about 3D Printing

Additive manufacturing, or 3D printing, is changing the way companies approach manufacturing by removing the constraints of traditional manufacturing methods. Today, quite literally 3D printers can produce any design, no matter how complex, in an ever-growing number of materials. This gives designers an enormous amount of design freedom while also saving significant time to market. Learn more about how you can incorporate additive manufacturing techniques into your own product development processes by downloading the article and watching the video below.

 

Working Faster with 3D Printing

AV&R needed a way to create tooling for its line of robotics systems more quickly and efficiently. Hear how the design team at AV&R uses SOLIDWORKS and 3D printing to quickly iterate on the steel fingers on the grippers of the company's robotic systems.
