FIBER INTRO VIDEO
What kind of parts can I make?
Parts can be 3D printed that span a variety of industries including manufacturing, tooling, automotive, consumer, electronics, marine and more. If you own a small machine shop you can start to provide high performance customized parts such as CNC fixtures (see below). If you already sell automotive parts you can expand your offering to include customized parts such as exhaust heat shields (see above). If you have a hardware store you can compete with Home Depot by offering customized tools such as mirror and camera mounts (see below). If you are an engineer at a manufacturing plant you can produce parts such as end-of-arm tooling, including those used in electronics manufacturing (see below).
