The STEP Technology
The STEP technology has been estimated to be 50 times faster than SLS 3D printing
And ensures a shorter time to market with “toolless” production.
This is achieved by placing feedstock layer by layer onto a build area, via a moving belt until the 3D shape is formed.
The firm has partnered with several top firms including Kodak and Evonik to advance its STEP technology.
Evolve Additive,
has recently partnered with siemens digital industries software to combine their STEP technology with SIemens’ Xcelerator software.
I have printed many parts over the course of my career and, in my opinion, the Evolve SVP system is the best 3D printer capable of competing directly with injection molding in terms of part quality, part cost and throughput,
