Dr. Boyd Goldie, an orthopedic surgeon in London, uses his Ultimaker 3D printer to make invaluable surgical guides, templates & visualization aids for surgeries, saving time and money in the process. The technology offers accurate 3D models straight from DICOM images taken from CT Scans for better surgical preparation.

With 3D printing, ABB Robotics can minimize risk in the development process by proving the viability of a design before investing in an expensive tool. This shrinks the development process from months to a matter of days. They choose Ultimakers for their reliability and consistent quality.

3D printing is offered as an elective course to students that are interested to learn more about this technology. One project allowed the students to print out parts of a bottle rocket that is launched with water pressure. This project allows the students to expand their knowledge on science and mathematics with 3D printing as a vital part of the process.

Using her Ultimaker 3D printer, Susan reduces the time involved with prototyping from weeks to hours while saving significant costs. Making up to 100 iterations per product, Bhold has minimized the risks, shortened the time to market and reduced costs associated with new product design. In addition, 3D printing opened a whole new world of beautiful geometries that were impossible to achieve with traditional alternatives.
