Centerline Engineered Solutions fabricates formed steel parts with an industrial press brake. In order to fabricate each part, Centerline has to make a unique punch and die. For most applications, the cost of this specialized tooling does not justify the expense of the part. By printing the tooling out of Onyx and reinforcing critical points with steel inserts, Centerline creates forming tooling at a vastly lower cost.
They print custom cable adapters for a 15 lb, handheld 3D camera that replaces conventional 100 lb rigs. These adapters consolidate cabling to a single interface point, making the camera simpler and easier to operate. Rent the Sky Films founder Scott Ferril describes this part as “the difference between getting the shots you want vs. the shots you have time for.”

The FX10 supports both composite materials (such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and Kevlar) and metals, including 17-4PH stainless steel, H13 tool steel, and copper. This versatility makes it suitable for a wide range of applications, from prototypes to end-use parts
Metal FFF on the FX10 involves printing with a polymerized metal powder filament, followed by debinding to remove excess material and then sintering in a furnace to create solid metal parts. This process is ideal for producing high-precision, complex metal components
Continuous Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) strengthens 3D printed parts by embedding continuous fibers like carbon fiber or Kevlar during printing, making parts up to 10 times stronger than non-reinforced materials. CFR is crucial for creating lightweight, durable parts for demanding application.
The FX10 is perfect for industries that need high-strength, durable parts, such as aerospace, automotive, medical, and industrial manufacturing. It is used for prototyping, tooling, and the production of end-use parts that require high precision and performance.
