Tough Enough for Armored Tanks
From Dimension 3D Printing
 

 

EOIR Technology was contracted to create a camera and mount for gun sights on M1 Abrams tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles for the Mississippi National Guard. EOIR's subcontractor's designs for the mount failed performance tests. EOIR found itself up against a tight budget and contract deadline with no deliverable solution.

Using Solid Edge® CAD software and a Dimension 3D Printer, EOIR was able to quickly evaluate models of alternative designs. Sturdy ABS parts generated by Dimension proved tough enough to test directly on the armored vehicles without having to go through a costly, time-consuming process of machining them in aircraft-grade aluminum.
