When It Makes Sense to Replace Injection Molding with SLS 3D Printing

Hear from Michael Crunelle, Head of Research and Design at Battle Beaver Customs about how they are replacing (outsourced) injection molding with affordable in-house SLS printing.

SLS 3D printing can create end-use parts directly without tooling. But when does it really make sense to use it to replace injection molding?

From complex designs to after-market accessories, look at real-life case studies that show how SLS 3D printing can make manufacturing cheaper, faster, and more agile.

With the emergence of high-performance, affordable SLS 3D printing solutions, like the Fuse 1 from Formlabs, SLS is finally within reach for more businesses.

In this webinar, you’ll hear from Megan Liu, Supply Chain Engineer at Formlabs about how they use SLS printed parts in their printers and post-processing machines.

You’ll also hear from Michael Crunelle, Head of Research and Design at Battle Beaver Customs about how they are replacing (outsourced) injection molding with affordable in-house SLS printing.
