(Stratasys: Eden Prairie, MN) -- Additive manufacturing is changing the way we plan, design, and produce products. By augmenting traditional manufacturing processes with 3D-printed production tools, molds, and final parts, additive manufacturing can accelerate delivery times while significantly reducing costs.

This was really brought home at the EuroMold 2014 exhibition in Frankfurt where Stratasys presented a host of important manufacturing applications, including composite processing tooling, jigs and fixtures, plastic processing tooling, and end-use products—with practical examples such as robotic end-of-arm tools and a Porsche engine.

But just in case you didn’t make it to Frankfurt, Stratasys filmed four concise application presentations for you with Ryan Sybrant, senior manager of manufacturing solutions at Stratasys:
Soluble cores
Final parts
Jigs and fixtures
Plastic processing tools/injection molds
