Stratasys F900 with the T16A solution and ULTEM™ 9085 CG
Strategy Additive manufacturing is established as regular production process. AM activities are integrated across departments.Benefits from Additive Manufacturing as speed, freedom of design, resilience are systematically leveraged to create competitive advantage and strategic success.
Product Design Extensive use of DfAM, incl. advanced optimization. Well-established sustainability practices. Full compliance with standards and seamless data exchange.
Material Ensuring a stable supply chain by suppliers by continuously providing certificates for each material batch. Selection of materials is also considering scaling requirements (e.g. industry certificates, availability).
Process Engineering 
Production Setup Advanced automation with single disconnected automated process steps. Manual work for handling needed. Operator receives support through local HMI/digital tools. Defined value stream mapping and optimization.
Manufacturing Execution Mainly automated process and asset creation with flexible allocation and execution based on real time data from shop floor, in a comprehensive and interoperable system. Tracking and integration of 2nd level production streams (i.e. powder management, build plate refurbishment).
Quality Proactive analytics for reproducibility across multiple production lines and locations; ensured reproducibility under changing conditions. Quality is directly linked to tracked process and material data.
Maintenance & Service Regularly performed maintenance to secure operational deficiency. Enablement of own staff for basic quick fixes.
Environmental Sustainability Implemented resource efficiency measures; basic recycling and minimal energy reduction efforts; initial lifecycle assessments.
People & Organization Employees become proficient in using AM, with internal training programs becoming more valuable.
