Tool-less digital molding is a new manufacturing capability powered by 3D Systems' Figure 4™ technology that gives users the ability to go straight from CAD to manufacturing without tooling. The applications and implications for this technology are vast, making digital molding a highly complementary process to traditional production. Whereas traditional production requires laborious, time-consuming, and expensive tooling, digital molding saves time and cost by delivering end-use parts directly with a CAD file and Figure 4 solution (comprised of a print engine, software and materials). Figure 4 puts users in the driver's seat to determine what their needs are across a range of variables including part quantities, design versatility, and time-to-first-part.

Here are the top 6 ways 3D Systems has broken the historic barriers to 3D production to enable tool-less manufacturing:
