Printmet will design and develop a new 3D printer chassis for their industrial 3D printer customer. In order to achieve the cost and quality requirements and secure the business for the UK, Printmet must utilise the latest engineering technologies and processes in order to be able to supply the chassis at a competitive price.By using LEAN engineering techniques, utilising the latest CNC bending techniques, laser cutting, 3D printing and computerised CAD and FMEA analysis, we have the opportunity to turn around the Engineering industry in the UK and get work back from our overseas competitors and help the drive towards net zero emissions. This project will be the template for doing so.We will focus on designing a lighter, simpler unit, eliminating manual labour and replacing it with a design that is just as robust, but can be built mainly by automated engineering processes.

Printmet将为其工业3D打印机客户设计和开发一种新的3D打印机底盘。为了达到成本和质量要求，并确保英国的业务，Printmet必须利用最新的工程技术和工艺，以便能够以具有竞争力的价格供应底盘。通过使用精益工程技术，利用最新的数控弯曲技术、激光切割、3D打印和计算机化的CAD和FMEA分析，我们有机会扭转英国的工程业，从我们的海外竞争对手那里收回工作，并帮助推动实现净零排放。这个项目将是这样做的模板。我们将专注于设计一个更轻、更简单的单元，消除手工劳动，代之以同样坚固的设计，但主要可以通过自动化工程过程来建造。
