Global Additive Manufacturing expert Coming to Australia!

It is with great excitement that we announce the appearance of Global Additive Manufacturing expert Mark Reibel at the Objective3D Parts stand (D22) at Austech (National Manufacturing Week), 26-29 May 2015 at Melbourne Exhibition Centre (Jeff's Shed).

Mark is the Global Account Manager/Additive Manufacturing Specialist for Stratasys Direct Manufacturing. Managing direct and indirect sales channels for end use parts globally, Mark has the goal of creating a worldwide Distributed Manufacturing Network for additive as well as traditional manufacturing technologies.

Previously at Solid Concepts Inc (USA), Mark has been with the company through much of it's growth from a single site bureau, to a four-facility, multiple technology company known to be a solutions provider with project management and engineering expertise. With capabilities in PolyJet™ high precision 3D printing, Stereolithography (SLA) models and patterns, HDSL (High Definition Stereolithography), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Direct Digital Manufacturing, CNC models and patterns, and QuantumCast™ advanced urethane castings, Solid Concepts (USA) is a world leader in Advanced Manufacturing bureau solutions and a major part of the Stratasys Direct Manufacturing network of with Objective3D Parts is proudly the Australasian representative.

The Stratasys Direct Manufacturing Network is pushing the limits of design and innovation by bringing together the best in advanced manufacturing services, backed by engineering expertise; a philosophy and business model echoed in Australia by Objective3D Parts, where Qualified Engineers actually assess your files and build your parts.

Delivering High Quantities of Prototypes Fast

Objective3D Direct Manufacturing produces parts using a range of additive and conventional manufacturing technologies. We offer tailored solutions for your project’s needs. If your project requires larger quantities of small parts – fast, Laser Sintering is the best technological solution for you. Per-part pricing is reduced as quantities increase, but there are more advantages to using Laser Sintering for small prototypes than price alone. Laser Sintering (LS) provides strong, versatile and geometrically intricate components made from filled and un-filled nylon materials that are ideal for fit and form verification and functional testing. Prototypes made with LS are created quickly and offer robust solutions for your project. FAST Delivery Laser Sintering can provide sturdy, functional prototypes as little as 24 hours. Multi-component designs can be incorporated into single structures, allowing engineers to produce complex features and geometries in one print, and elim...

How Artec Space Spider helps measure the shape-shifting of birds in response to climate change.

Challenge: In the past century, researchers have been studying a variety of birds in Australia to see how their bodies have changed as a result of global warming in order to determine how to adjust. In order to document the exact dimensions of thousands of beaks of 86 different species of birds in museums in a fast, accurate, and convenient manner, they needed a fast, accurate, and convenient method. Solution: Artec Space Spider, Artec Studio Results: By using the handheld 3D scanner Artec Space Spider, each bird can be scanned in submillimeter colour 3D in approximately two minutes. This makes it easy to scan anywhere from 30-50 birds in one museum visit. Scan processing takes just under six minutes for each bird.

3D scanning and reverse engineering streamline original furniture design and production

MU Form Furniture Design is an Oakland-based company that designs, manufactures and distributes furniture products for the modern home and business. The company is never short of orders since good and original design is sought after by architects and interior designers. The main material MU Form works with is high-quality bent ply, which is one of the most widely used materials in this industry due to its ability to create a variety of shapes for chairs, stools, and tables. The company’s specialists seek to create great designs that pose a challenge for other manufacturers to copy or replicate. The V Dining Chair in red and grey, designed by MU Form’s Po Shun Leong. “Our designers are tasked to develop furniture designs that require a significant amount of trial and error by developing physical prototypes of chairs and stools,” says Mark Leong, CEO of MU Form. To produce a new original piece of furniture, MU Form would normally ship a physical prototype model to a factory ...
