Case Study Highlights
Chiltern Invadex UK initially turned to 3D printing when looking to introduce new Hoist track profile.
As with most projects there is often an element that will cause an unexpected delay, often leaving no simple cost effective solution or a product that does not match the original design. In this instance we were able to utilise 3D printing and produce an exact product, as designed, in a short time frame. Once again the final products were more than fit for purpose and enabled us to release the new product on time.
