Spotlight: 3D Printing
Careers
Ready to take your FDM printing to another level?
If you plot the rate of open and unfilled vacancies in engineering within the UK, the number doubles every 3 years. This has been the case since 2012 and now stands at 126k. The demand for new engineers, training and development is only ever going to increase. It is clear to Jem Drew, founder of Giganeer that we need a different way to tackle this. “Historically employment convention has laid down that you are employed until retirement.. But does it have to be that way? Imagine a flexible, modern disruptive model of work. A model where remote and hybrid working practices and technology empower time-served engineers to continue to work, deep into later Flexible Workforce for the win?
life, within a safe professional hybrid freelancing space. An environment where an engineer could take control of their own work / life balance and could choose to work as often, or as little as they wished. A freelance workspace built around efficient industrial delivery and where mentorship of the future workforce of undergraduates & apprentices is designed into the very fabric of the model. A place where new engineers could shadow the best that industry has to offer whilst getting early access to a range of key industry verticals… Is this not a legacy worth striving for?” “Recent studies show that over 70% of company CEO’s are concerned about their ageing workforce and loss of key skills of the coming few years, if the engineering community can pull together and try things that are a little different, amazing things can happen!” n
The miniFactory Ultra is a one-of-a- kind industrial 3D printer that allows you to manufacture high-quality parts cost-effectively and quickly. Whether you need a single prototype or an extensive series of specific components, miniFactory’s 3D printing system lets you manufacture parts on-site using high- performance polymers and composites. Thus, you get the highest quality in the fastest production time and have more time to focus on the essentials!
It’s open material system that unlocks the most comprehensive material range on the market. With the advanced heated chamber up to 250°C, the material range includes the most high-performing polymers and composites. The heated chamber 3D printer enables 3D printing of engineering and high performance polymers stably and dimensionally correct. Having access to the heated chamber hugely increases the range of materials available to you. As the miniFactory Ultra has been developed and optimised for production with Ultra Polymers, despite extreme processing temperatures, users can safely manufacture parts with the world’s top performing polymers and polymer composites. As a result, the material range for the miniFactory Ultra is much wider than in closed systems or in systems with lower chamber temperatures. 3D printing revolutionises the automotive industry by offering the opportunity for more environmentally friendly and on-demand production. Due to the high-performance polymers, you can make lightweight, durable, and reliable automotive parts quickly and cost- effectively. The automotive industry enables a short lead time for assembly tools and jigs. By utilising high performance polymers, the durability of these tools can be pushed to the next level due to the extreme chemical and heat resistance of the material. So with the miniFactory Ultra 3D printer, you can take your FDM printing to an Ultra level! n
High performance polymers have their benefits:
n Great strength
to weight ratio to optimise efficiency n Resistance against aggressive chemicals and solvents n Service temperatures up to 240°C opens new possibilities n Durability and silence with self lubricating properties n Extreme electrical insulation in all shapes and forms
