New 3D Printing Capability
In addition to our super high end Markforged printers (that does carbon fiber printing) we now have an Ultimaker printer that can do high volume parts really quickly out of cheaper materials.
One really cool thing is the “Tree” support function which minimizes the amount of material to support overhangs.
We decided to do some playing to see what the printers capabilities are. Here is a vehicle hitch plug which is a good test part because of the overhang.

Here is the finished part with the tree supports removed.
