Stephen Farrell, Managing Director, UFIM Solutions
I have spent the last 25 years involved in the field of design engineering with a very strong emphasis on design for manufacturing. My design and manufacturing knowledge has given me the opportunity to lead design teams in the creation of new products in the medical device, FMGC, Consumer and industrial Electronics, Heating controls and Toy industries. This experi-ence includes every stage of the product development cycle from Aesthetics and Ergonomics through to functional prototypes and managing the manufacture of Mould tooling and deliv-ery of final product.
Rapid Prototyping with Free Form Injection Moulding
Freeform Injection Molding (FIM) is a manufacturing technique developed by Addifab that combines 3D printing with injection molding to provide new opportunities for molded parts which accelerates product's route to market. The solution uses 3D printed mold inserts to allow for the injection molding of complex parts resembling those pos-sible through 3D printing
