Vishal Tools & Forging – A Client Testimonial to BCN3D Printer and it uses

Vishal Tools & Forgings Pvt Ltd is specialized in full range of Spanners / Wrenches produced under DIN/BS/ASME specifications. Company is accredited with ISO 9001-2015,ISO-14001:2015,OHSAS-45001:2018 & SA 8000:2014 Certifications. Also holding GS certification from German authority VPA authorizing GS mark on our products. They are having ultra modem plant fully equipped with state-of-the art technology.

Importance of Additive Manufacturing

In order to meet high level of International standards it was very important for them to validate their product design before launch. Traditional prototyping methods used to take lot of time and money.

So when the concept of Additive Manufacturing was introduced to Vishal Tools Management by Parametric Designs & Solutions its importance was immediately accepted and within 10 days BCN3D Epsilon W27 3D Printer with Smart Cabinet was deployed.

Today the printer is not only used for Product Design Validation for different types of Tools being manufactured , but also to validate different R&D projects and Mechanisms.

Some Highlights of the BCN3D EpsilonW27SC Printer

-High Level of Build Quality
-IDEX -Filament Quality -2.85mm Filament Helps to print better compared to 1,75mm filament.
-Strength and Surface Finish of the Printed Part.

3D Print Pod Prototype for Hyperloop International Competition 2021

3D Print Pod Prototype is a part of the International Hyperloop Pod Competition hosted in Valencia 2021. From the mind of Elon Musk, the motive was to create the fifth mode of transport was born and then entrusted in the capable hands of university students all around the world.

One of the most promising was Hyperloop CHF team which employed the use of the BCN3D Epsilon W50 and BCN3D materials for molding and end-use parts for their unique streamlined 3D printed POD prototype.

Objective OF Hyperloop Competition

The basis of the Hyperloop competition is to build upon the blueprint for a superfast train that will change the future of the way we travel. Essentially, passengers will be contained in a protective pod that ‘floats’ above the track, for a luxurious journey to reach destinations in record timing.

3D Print Pod Prototype to Accelerate Process

The ecosystem between the design programs and 3D printing technology was easy to introduce, faster, and more efficient and thus boosted their workflow. Saving time and money and having more freedom in their design gave Hyperloop CHF the upper edge they were looking for.

3D printed end-use parts were also included directly in the stabilization system. Wheels were printed in TPU for its ability to withstand high temperatures and its strength. The brackets were made of carbon fiber for a sturdy, reliable support system. Hyperloop CHF explored a variety of different materials to see how the properties could advance their prototype. They came to the conclusion that ABS would perform best in this case for its high-temperature resistance.

The team was proud to be one of only 4 out of 11 teams to pass all the tests, an extra impressive feat as the only team from a vocational training center to make it to this stage. The next move for the finalists is to persevere with their goal of reaching 550kmph and improve by focusing on the propulsion system and outer shell. An invaluable learning curve that has equipped the students with the knowledge of 3D printing design and production and set them up for a future of making waves in Industry 4.0.

3D Printing Technology Facts and Possibilities to Fascinate And Innovate.

3D printing technology is rapidly changing the way manufacturers in all industries across the globe manage their production processes. There must be something unique about this cutting-edge technology for so many companies to be adopting it at an accelerated pace – but what exactly is so exceptional about 3D printing, and why should you care?

3D Printing Technology Facts:

3D printing Technology Uses in various Industries

The fast iteration of 3D printing, in combination with the diverse materials that are available, make it perfect for prototyping. Shoe company Camper’s use case is a great example. The fast and precise prototyping made possible with 3D printers gave Camper’s designers the creative freedom they needed to validate new designs quickly and easily test out new materials.

By employing 3D printing in the model creation process, doctors like Gustavo Nari have been able to develop and fabricate more accurate and sophisticated biomedical models. This in turn has led to an improved surgical planning process.

CIM UPC found that they could save up to 3-8 thousand euros on one of their projects by switching from traditional methods like SLS, MJF, and MS to in-house 3D printing. They were able to manufacture parts in less than 48 hours at a lower cost per part, while also using the same materials used in injection molding.

2. Robotics through Additive Manufacturing

Not only does 3D printing make it easy to create parts for robots, it is even possible to manufacture an entire robot using a 3D printer. the BCN3D Moveo robotic arm is open source and reproducible by 3D printers at a low cost, with parts which can easily be modified and customized for the exact use case.

3. Mountain Rescue Motorcycle Parts manufacture through 3D Printing

The team at ELISAVA was able to use the Epsilon W50 to produce big end-use parts, such as the fender, for a mountain rescue motorcycle. A total of 19 end-use parts were created using 3D FFF technology and a variety of different materials.

3D Printing Light Unique Fixtures for A Sustainable future : Yuugn

3D Printing Light Fixtures through the use of biodegradable materials which are a renewable resource made from Nature. These lights are available in Unique shapes and sizes depending on the requirements.

Customizing has always been an issue of cost in designing specific or different sizes as the required quantity of the product is low.

This branch of brand Lichtdivisie designs and produces environmentally friendly light fixtures to cater to projects of all needs and specifications.

With a name derived from the Japanese word for being at one with nature, they follow through with this philosophy with the help of some BCN3D Sigma D25 printers, in order to minimize waste and utilize biodegradable materials.

“As a company, we feel responsible to produce environmentally friendly products in order to reduce the pollution of traditional methods.” – Luisa Cisneros, Marketing Manager at Yuugn.

Yuugn lights the way to a sustainable future with 3D printed light fixtures

This company uses biodegradable PLA enhanced with carbon fiber is employed for its strength and resistance to high temperatures, two vitally important considerations in the lighting industry.

The IDEX Technology in the Sigma Series saves time, money, space and is eco-friendly. It also allows for fast prototyping of the customized pieces required for each client, and the ability to produce locally also contributes to a more ecological output.

“I would recommend the 3D printers of BCN3D to all companies who want to experiment with more environmentally friendly production methods.” – Martijn Broekhuis, CEO of Yuugn.

So what lies ahead for the bright future of Yuugn? The company hopes to continue in its exploration of new eco-friendly materials and one day use solar power as a direct way of powering its printers. The pairing of the values that Yuugn deeply cares about with 3D printing as the tool that allows them to do so is allowing the company to set the standard for other manufacturers hoping to make a difference.
