Our premium 3D printing filament offers versatile options for designers at all levels, designed to free your imagination and deliver outstanding results.
The corporation featured in this article is one of the earliest Investigation, Design & Research Institutes established in China. Being selected as a state-of-the-art corporation in China, This Investigation, Design & Research Institute embraces broad business scope from hydropower, new energy, urban and rural construction, to ecology and environment engineering. The safety engineering and structural fortification works of this Institute have got plenty of practical applications in scientific research and in engineering. To do those businesses, the Institute has a lot of tooling demands and will use these innovative tools to solve problems encountered in scientific research and engineering applications.
The person in charge of the department said that it was also the first time he contact a 3D printer. Through practical usage, he felt the convenience and efficient production brought by Flashforge 3D printers.
Before beginning with Flashforge Guider 3 Plus 3D printer, they sent out almost all their designed models to CNC manufacturers for processing and manufacturing. That took a long period to get the final products. Generally, the whole process, from mode design, production, to final verification, took about one month. R&D test was very slow especially for certain models that need multiple times of verification to finally get the ideal solution. The entire project often got delayed due to the long production cycle.
To shorten the production cycle, they found Flashforge and chose Flashforge Guider 3 Plus 3D printer that features stably high-speed manufacturing. With the help of this equipment, the newly designed 3D model can be realized nearly within one day and the efficiency of the prototype verification is greatly improved. Meanwhile, the R&D personnel in the Institute could intuitively observe and test the feasibility of appearance and function of the designed parts. In an obviously shorter period of time, they successfully launched a self-developed "automatic mixer".
Guider 3 Plus has a large build volume (350*350*600mm), which meets almost all the Institute’s model printing needs. The handle, base, rotating disk and other body parts of the Mixer are all 3D printed on Guider 3 Plus. In addition to speeding up prototype verification, Guider 3 Plus also supports continuous and stable 3D printing for 7*24 hours. After the mixer product solution finally determined, they started small-batch customized production of mixers with the use of Flashforge Guider 3 Plus, quickly producing parts for multiple sets of mixers and speeding up the batch application of mixers. According to the end user’s feedback, the mechanical properties of the mixer equipment fully meet the requirements in the application environment. The Institute stated that they have applied for a patented technology for the mixer and will carry out mass production of the mixer equipment in the future.
