Another ProJet™ Homerun!

News directly from one of our customers: The ProJet™ 3-D Production System has yet another invaluable application as a producer of durable and inexpensive hydroforming tools!

What exactly is hydroforming? According to Wikipedia, "Hydroforming is a cost-effective way of shaping malleable metals, such as aluminum or brass, into lightweight, structurally stiff and strong pieces." In other words, our ProJet™ 3-D Printer can produce same-day "tools" which are then used to mold metal into a desired shape, all while saving the user time and money!Watch the short video below to see this fascinating ProJet™ tooling application in action.
