IDEC cuts composite molding costs by 67% with Stratasys 3D printing Aerospace

by Aerospace

If there’s one thing that has become clear in the recent evolution of additive manufacturing technologies is that they will not replace traditional manufacturing processes. Instead, they will complement and, in many cases, enhance them. Stratasys is showcasing this reality at JEC World, where it revealed how Spanish composite solutions company IDEC has leveraged AM to cut the time, cost and material waste associated with composite molding processes.
