The new year is shaping to be an exciting one as Designfusion continues to expand our product lineup in both the software solutions side of our business and the additive manufacturing side.

We will also be hosting our annual Solid Edge University but due to the ongoing COVID restrictions, this years event will be delivered online. To keep updated sign up to our event page. 

Additive Manufacturing Update

In our last newsletter we announced the addition of our Metal-X 3D printers to our AM offerings. In the intervening three months we have had a strong response, with customers taking advantage of our new metal printing service. We are now running stainless steel production around the clock and delivering high quality and often complex parts in a fraction of the time taken by other methods of manufacture.

As Trevor Johnstone, Designfusion’s Director of Additive Manufacturing, says “ Our 3D printing service offers an easy way to produce your parts and/or test this new technology before considering an equipment purchase.”
