RedEye On Demand and SME team up to educate local engineers

Jeff Hanson, RedEye Business Development Manager, Presents to nearly 100 attendees at this Months SME Meeting held at our facility.

Product Managers, Manufacturing Engineers and Operation Managers alike were found at RedEye this month to take part in Society of Manufacturing Engineer's (SME) local meeting.

The purpose of the event was to provide attendees a better understanding of how the advances in rapid prototyping and digital manufacturing can reduce lead times and cut costs.

More Colors for Your Prototypes to Production Parts

The benefits of adding color to prototypes and end-use parts are clear. Color captivates, it communicates, it provides the visual reference needed for most go-to-market strategies.

That's why this month we're excited to offer you 4 new color choices: olive green, desert tan, gray and metallic silver.

Color can be one of the most important elements in product development. Weather you’re creating an entirely new product or making an improvement to an existing product, choosing the right color can help you communicate your important design elements easily.

If your new design is an improvement to an existing product, in most instances the main objective is to make sure the consumer is aware of the new enhancement. This requires visual and verbal communication elements that draw attention to your new element.

When launching brand new products, one of the most important communication points to your customers is how it fits into your current product offering. Additionally, consistent color coordination across brands helps build brand awareness. That’s why we believe expanding our color options will help you communicate important elements during both prototyping and production.

Paint a better picture of your final product.

These new colors will be offered while supplies last only, so order today. Quote Now.

Size Matters: Build Big, Bulky Lightweight Parts

Now you can build big parts that won’t weigh you down. Choose Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) for your digital manufacturing project and ask about sparse fill. Our sparse fill build option builds your parts with a honeycomb-like interior, reducing the overall weight by more than 50%.

Our sparse build option is great for large, thick walled parts, prototyping models and packaging molds. It is our recommended build option for prototype thermoforming molds and sand casting patterns because it creates porosity that benefits vacuum draw.

What you see is not what you get. In this case, it’s true. The exterior surfaces of your parts remain completely unaltered, so your parts look as if they were built as a solid form.

To learn more about our sparse fill option, download our case study titled, “Prototyping Vaccum Forming Tools Quickly.”

See sculptures that captivate.

More and more arts and entertainment designers are using our 3D printing services to showcase their best work. Why? Because we are human. It’s still more stimulating to our senses to hold and examine a physical object.
