TrySight develops various hardware and software solutions to help those with low vision and blindness. In this niche market production runs are relatively low. Additionally, design changes to parts are frequent. This combination made traditional tooling methods uneconomical. To address this challenge, TrySight was using FDM 3D Printing for over 5 years. But the quality of the parts TrySight was producing using FDM did not meet dimensional tolerances, strength or temperature resistance for end-use. Labor and material costs were significant due to high print failure rates and a two-dimensional build area which only allowed a few parts to be printed at a time.
