Onsite Rapid Prototyping of Heavy Machinery Components
“We can take a 3D printed concept, touch it and actually feel how that component will come to life. Then we can actually turn that piece into a metal or plastic production-ready part all right here in house.”
Your machine and its components are unique. While that sets OEMs a part from their competitors, with the current dynamic supply chain heavy equipment manufacturers are seeing, it also may mean long lead times and difficulties getting machines completed and out the door. At GS Global Resources, we are constantly looking for ways to vertically integrate all production stages and with the combination of 3D printing and vertical milling machines, we are able to create the exact custom components we need to get customers finished solutions quickly.
“If we’re trying to test out a new concept, we don’t have to wait 6-12 weeks for those components, only to get them and discover they don’t actually work for what an OEM is looking for.”
Our VP of Engineering, Josh Heinz says that our primary intention was the ability to machine out a component, like a joystick, from initial design to final product in 2 weeks. Take a look at this video to hear Josh talk through how our new process is increasing our ability to do in-house rapid prototyping and providing a huge value to our customers.
