In short, everything in foam and rubber\u2014anything that can dampen, protect and seal. It could be in a speaker fitted in a car door, in a display in a car dashboard, in an oven door, in a kitchen appliance or a power drill, or in a wind turbine that needs to be sealed against rainwater.  <\/p>\n<p>DAFA has now also invested in a 3D printer. This follows their participation in <a href=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/en\/\">Dansk AM Hub<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/businessviborg.dk\/om-business-viborg\/samarbejdspartnere\/center-for-industri\">Center For Industri<\/a>\u2019s 3DP Try Out, where companies can borrow a printer for a month. <\/p>\n<p>Henrik Pedersen is a Project Manager at DAFA and explains that their decision to explore 3D printing and invest in their own printer is to meet customer needs within the segment known as \u201cmoulded gaskets\u201d. This requires specially manufactured tooling, and by 3D printing the design they can verify it immediately.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;307712&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771938222734{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;105822&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;186053&#8243;]\u201cNormally, it is a long process from having the product drawn to receiving the first samples from moulded tooling, which typically takes between 6\u201310 weeks depending on how complex it is. We would very much like to skip that process so we can validate the design by creating a 3D model. If we then print a 3D model, we essentially have the answer immediately, which we can test in our application or send directly to the customer, and we can make adjustments straight away. When the customer is satisfied, we order the tooling. You effectively save a prolonged development process, and you save a lot of tooling,\u201d explains Henrik Pedersen.    <\/p>\n<p>This means that when you order the tooling, it is correct the first time, and for our customers that is a major time and cost factor that we reduce.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_right&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;204648&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;94882&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;139325&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;184735&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1771939257362{padding-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; radius=&#8221;std&#8221; shadow=&#8221;std&#8221; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;451755&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-solid&#8221; back_color_solid=&#8221;#0903d4&#8243; el_class=&#8221;list-column&#8221;][vc_column_text text_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;214958&#8243; el_class=&#8221;list-with-check&#8221; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"color: white !important;\">Results from programmes with Dansk AM Hub<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cut eight weeks off the development process<\/li>\n<li>Faster to the customer<\/li>\n<li>Enables printing at the hardness customers request<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;609024&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;184148&#8243;]DAFA took part in 3DP Try Out at the beginning of 2020 and has since invested in its own printer and received orders for some of the items they have 3D printed and sent to customers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis means we have cut eight weeks off the development process, and the customer gets verification that this design fits into the construction before we order moulds. So for us, it means we reach the customer faster and have a higher likelihood of winning an order. At the same time, the customer also saves time compared with having to go back and modify the tooling. In our view, this gives them better service than they would have received before, when they had to wait.

They have invested in a significantly more advanced 3D printer than the one they used in the project. With it, materials can be mixed digitally\u2014that is, a very hard and a very soft material can be blended digitally\u2014so they can decide the hardness they print at, and they can combine a hard and a soft rubber in the same print.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis makes it possible to print at the hardness customers request, whereas if we had invested in a slightly cheaper technology, we would have had a hard, rubber-like material, but not at all in the soft variants we need. That is why we have chosen to invest in a machine that is a bit more expensive, but is more aligned with the world DAFA is part of\u2014namely rubber and moulded components,\u201d concludes Henrik Pedersen.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;50&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; back_color=&#8221;accent&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;144415&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column column_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; position_vertical=&#8221;middle&#8221; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; back_color=&#8221;accent&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; column_width_pixel=&#8221;900&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;175239&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;600238&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]Is your production setup a limitation\u2014or a strength?
