Tooling & Machining

End Use Parts

Without the expense and lead time of traditional tooling or machining, GVL’s FDM production parts are tough enough for integration into your final product. Ideal for building small quantities of parts while waiting for tooling, GVL Proto Poly makes it possible to get your products to market faster.

GVL’s 3-D production system is built to handle the stress of nonstop production. The end result is robust components that handle the rigors of end-use. With GVL’s Fortus 3-D Production System, design and manufacturing engineers are free to optimize designs since the constraints, lead time, and expense of traditional tooling and machining are no longer applicable. If traditional tooling is required, GVL’s Fortus system is an excellent solution to start production before tooling is ready.

Manufacturing Tools

On the manufacturing floor, time is money. GVL can reduce the time it takes to get assembly tools by up to 85%. We can produce jigs, fixtures, assembly aids and even production tooling in hours – without machining or tooling.

GVL’s 3-D production systems work well when used to produce robust manufacturing tools such as jigs, fixtures, tooling masters and even production tooling. Your team can handle a wider variety of jobs and go from concept to working tool on the floor in hours versus days, eliminating the cost and time associated with outsourcing and expensive machining. GVL’s 3-D production system gives you the ability to put more tools on your production floor to ensure faster, easier and more precise manufacturing.

Save Time Making Jigs, Fixtures & Production Parts

GVL Proto Poly creates assembly tools and production parts that help you:

• Reduce manufacturing time of assembly tools 50-85%
• Shave months from your product development process, reducing time-to-market and improving profitability
• Complete first article production in hours rather than days

Use Real Thermoplastics

GVL’s Fortus 3D Production System uses Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) Technology and real engineering thermoplastics to build accurate, durable parts.

Now you can:

• Better predict end product performance
• Eliminate tooling in short-run production, reducing pre-production costs up to 90%
• Create durable parts suitable for finished goods or manufacturing tools
