Why 3D printed tooling from Catalysis?

Lead time: 2–3 weeks after design approval instead of 3–6 months for aluminium
Cost: Around 50 % below aluminium, at the price level of Ureol
Tool life: Up to several thousand parts, far beyond Ureol and plastic 3D printing
Material: Natural sand material from foundry technology, dimensionally stable, isotropic, no plastic printing
One-stop: Design, 3D printing, finishing, quality inspection. No CAD needed on your side
