Stratasys Origin One – Revolutionizing Injection Molding Applications https://trimech.com/stratasys-origin-one-revolutionizing-injection-molding-2/ Tue, 28 Nov 2023 19:41:22 +0000 https://trimech.com/?p=66117 The Additive Manufacturing industry has heard concerns for years regarding 3D printers jumping in and taking the place of traditional manufacturing methods. In most cases, this is nonsense, as Additive tends to be a far better partner to traditional manufacturing than a 1:1 replacement.

Recently, though, with the introduction of some newer technologies, printers, and materials to the market, we’re closer than ever to this dream possibly becoming a reality!

During this On-Demand Webinar:

TriMech’s Additive Solutions Consultant, Rich Annino, showcases the Stratasys Origin One, an incredible piece of manufacturing equipment that happens to work using additive methods. Rich will explore how this is all possible, and how the Origin One is quickly becoming the Injection Molding Professional’s best friend!

  • The Basics of Stratasys’ Origin One Technology
  • Ways in which the Origin One is capable of supporting, and in some cases replacing, Traditional Injection Molding
