1 Agenda of needs Reduce time-to-market Increased team productivity Reduce design & manufacturing costs Improved solution for manufacturing tools Convenient & confidential in-house solution

2 Why Companies Choose FDM Variety of durable thermoplastics Large capacity & envelope Versatile & expandable

3 MaterialCharacteristic Versatile material Biocompatible (ISO-10993) Translucent High Impact Strength High Tensile Strength Biocompatible (ISO-10993) FST Certification, High Mechanical Thermal and Chemical Resistance *Not a thermoplastic, alternate usage Thermoplastics Family Polycarbonate PPSF/PPU ULTEM 9085 PC-ISO PC-ABS ABSi ABS-M30i ABS-M30 Soluble Supports* Soluble Supports*

4 Envelope size Materials Accuracy Resolution Flexibility Supports Performance

5 Summary Reduce time-to-market Increased team productivity Reduce design & manufacturing costs Improved solution for manufacturing tools Convenient & confidential in-house solution

6 Thermoplastic Materials

7 Unique Properties Up to 70% stronger than ABS material High tensile, impact, and flexural strength More durable part than standard ABS Versatile, good for form, fit and function Variety of colors Materials: ABS-M30

8 Success Story Simple fixture to aid in assembly process Consistent height of post above plate Integrated part number & description Single vs. multiple piece construction Time & cost savings Materials: ABS-M30

9 Unique Properties Biocompatible (ISO 10993 certified) Medical, pharmaceutical and food packaging Sterilize using gamma radiation EtO Best fit for good strength and sterilization Materials: ABS-M30i

10 Success Story Custom dental drill guide in hours Contact with flesh - ISO-10933 Designed from dental impression scan Locks in and accurately positions drill Tungsten bushing on wear surfaces Fast, accurate, inexpensive tools Materials: ABS-M30i

11 Unique Properties Translucent material Amber Clear Red Ideal for automotive tail lens applications Blend of mechanical and aesthetic properties Materials: ABSi

12 Success Story Bidding process for after-market supplier Desired new design concept model Set apart from others with concept model Chose their design over others Attributed to lighted concept model Materials: ABSi

13 Unique Properties Best properties of PC and ABS Mechanical props heat resistance of PC Feature definition surface appeal of ABS High impact strength Materials: PC-ABS

14 Success Story: New Stapler Design Design objectives Ergonomic & modern design Reduce manufacturing cost Consumer focus group 8 design concepts evaluated 3 month field testing PC-ABS functional prototype Good fit with high-impact strength Improved design & profitability Materials: PC-ABS

15 Unique Properties Most widely used industrial thermoplastic Superior mechanical properties Accurate, durable, and stable High heat resistant Materials: Polycarbonate (PC)

16 Success Story Small scanner for research subjects PC does not show up in imaging Reduced time & cost 14 days vs. 5 days (64% savings) £1800 vs. £680 (62% savings) Materials: Polycarbonate (PC)

17 Unique Properties Biocompatible (ISO 10993 certified) Sterilize using gamma radiation or EtO Medical, pharmaceutical and food packaging Applications requiring strength and sterilization Materials: PC-ISO

18 Success Story Patient custom cutting & drilling guide Designed from 3D MRI data ISO 10993 Certification Increased surgical accuracy Reduced surgery and recovery time Materials: PC-ISO

19 Demonstration of mechanical strength Materials: ULTEM 9085 Unique Properties FST (flame, smoke, toxicity) certified High heat and chemical resistant Ideal for commercial transportation Highest tensile and flexural strength

20 Materials: ULTEM 9085 Success Story New “eye-ball” air vent design required Required for commercial aircraft approval Initially to test fitment and validate design Certifications allowed commercial flight Also use for low-volume manufacturing

21 Unique Properties Highest heat and chemical resistance Mechanically superior, greatest strength Sterilize using gamma radiation or EtO Applications in caustic and high heat Materials: PPSF/PPSU

22 Unique Properties Diesel vapor coalescer filter Captures & re-burns oil, fuel, soot Required by new emissions standard Robust & functional prototype required Testing +70hrs part survived Validated design to OEM Materials: PPSF/PPSU

23 Unique Properties Soluble material Dissolves in detergent/water Quick and hands free Flush down drain Easy to sand and polish Soluble supports & cores Materials: Soluble Supports

24 BMW Reduces Time and Cost to Build Fixtures Conventional fixture making Cost and time requirements were high Lack of design freedom reduced productivity FDM used to produce fixtures Have over 400 assembly fixtures Several built on Fortus system FDM enhances ergonomics Organic shapes maximize performance Sparse fill cut weight 72% Time and cost savings Typical cost reduced from £420 to £176 Typical lead-time reduced from 18 to 1.5 days MethodCostTime Conventional CNC £42018.0 days Fortus system ABS-M30 £176 1.5 days Savings £244 (58%) 16.5 days (92%)
