WEBINAR: Beyond the Mold – Achieving Quality Additive Production That Rivals Injection Molding

Injection molding is one of the largest manufacturing methods used today, worth an estimated $187B in 2022. But did you know that additive manufacturing can rival or even replace this production method?

In our next webinar, taking place on April 18th, Andy Harkison, Director of Product Management, and AJ Frisell, Advanced Application Engineer, from Evolve Additive Solutions, will join us in this next webinar for a discussion on why STEP is a viable additive alternative to injection molding.

From the very beginning, Evolve’s STEP (Selective Thermoplastic Electrophotographic Process) Technology was developed specifically for production applications and scale. This presentation will include an analysis and comparison of the mechanical properties, fidelity, and accuracy of STEP parts as compared to parts produced by injection molding or other additive processes – as well as highlight winning use cases and applications where the combination of STEP quality and production capacity provide the ideal solution.
