CASE STUDY
Why Guhring UK Turned to 3D Printing Specialty Tools
Guhring UK is a world-renowned manufacturer of specialty tools for the likes of BMW, Airbus, BAE Systems, and Jaguar Land Rover. The team used their Markforged metal 3D printer to print a milling cutter in H13 Tool Steel as an initial prototype but realized the prototype could be used as a functioning end-use tool — thus reducing the cost of production and time to market.
This case study will explain:
- How a specialty tool manufacturer opened up a new revenue stream using metal 3D printing
- How a 3D printed H13 Tool Steel tool performed as a miller cutter to ream aluminum
- The benefits of 3D printing lightweight tools on making your line more efficient
