(3D Systems: Rock Hill, SC) -- 3D Systems announced today that Bastech, a partner and one-source solution provider for additive manufacturing services and equipment, used 3D Systems’ end-to-end 3D solutions to introduce a new level of simplicity, efficiency, and economy to its conformal cooling mold-making process. By combining the tailored mold design toolsets of Cimatron with the flexibility of the ProX DMP 200 for producing complex metal geometries and Geomagic Control for quality inspection, Bastech was able to reduce design time by 70 percent, cycle time by 14 percent, and overall costs by 16 percent. In the manufacturing industry, where success is a delicate balance of efficiency, cost, and quality, these benefits give Bastech a clear competitive advantage.
