Butler Tool & Design, Inc. has purchased a 3D Systems’ Sinterstation® Pro SLS® system, Model 230, for its facility in Goodland, Indiana. 3D Systems expects to deliver and install its first large capacity Sinterstation Pro 230 system at Butler Tool by mid-September and operational by late September of this year.

“The Sinterstation Pro is a natural addition to our growing portfolio of design and rapid manufacturing solutions,” said Jim Butler, Butler Tool & Design’s, president and CEO. “After a careful and exhaustive assessment of our customers’ existing and emerging needs and a survey of the variety of alternative manufacturing solutions, we decided to purchase a Sinterstation Pro 230 to enable us to build parts and components that could not be manufactured otherwise.

“Our business model depends on our ability to quickly, successfully and economically guide our customers through the entire design to manufacturing cycle. Having the on-site capability to provide just-in-time, mid-volume rapid manufacturing of injection molded-like parts for a variety of customers nicely augments and complements our more traditional manufacturing systems and opens new opportunities for Butler Tool to expand our own market reach and growth potential.”

 

“The ability to manufacture production-quality large plastic parts directly from digital data makes our Sinterstation Pro an ideal flexible, economical and tool-less solution. The on-site flexibility to alternate between producing several large parts and thousands of smaller parts without the need to invest in expensive tooling or complex change-over's in a matter of days instead of months enables us to provide our customers with a significant time to market advantage over their competitors, thus rendering us the supplier of choice to a growing list of forward-looking corporations.

 

Beat your competition to market. With our SLS system your product development team can create better products in less time. Create complex tooling inserts that are ready to use in days, not weeks. Test parts for form, fit, and function off working prototypes - and identify errors early in the design process, prior to manufacturing.
