Boyce Technologies’ Additive Solutions to Win Business

EBOOK
BOYCE TECHNOLOGIES’ ADDITIVE SOLUTIONS TO WIN BUSINESS

Read how Boyce Technologies, prominent designer and manufacturer of products for public safety security and communications systems, implements their large-format additive technology to produce end-use parts in systems throughout New York.

Boyce Technologies has long been familiar with traditional manufacturing processes, offering expertise with multi-axis CNC machining, laser technologies for cutting, and welding, multi-axis industrial robots, and multi-axis water jet cutting. But these weren’t enough for some of the company’s more recent projects that required more iterations and complex geometries.

“I used to think the fastest way to do something was to do it out of a piece of metal, I didn’t think I needed 3D printing and now I can’t live without it,” said Charles Boyce, President of Boyce Technologies.

Learn how Boyce discovered and implemented incredible applications for additive manufacturing in their various workflows in this use case covering rapid prototyping, small-batch end-use parts, and vacuum forming.

GUIDE TO INTEGRATE
LARGE-FORMAT
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING

Large-format additive manufacturing offers a bigger-picture take on 3D printing.

Increasing the build size increases the possibilities for builds: users can create larger parts, removing the constraints of more standard sizes of build envelopes. 3D printing a large part all at once means less time is spent designing around multiple print jobs, less time assembling multiple parts, and more time getting those parts to work for you.

Discover in the guide,

  • How to get started
  • Why Size Matters
  • How to integrate
  • 4 Applications that Benefit from large-format additive
  • Case Studies from industry leading companies like Ford, Steel Case and more.
