Ascend provides manufacturing services utilizing a new proprietary additive manufacturing technology, Fusion Molding, to produce both R&D and production parts at a speed and cost to directly compete with injection molding.
Empowering Innovation, Simplifying Manufacturing
Empowering Innovation, Simplifying Manufacturing
Simplify Fusion Molding can streamline the product development process by eliminating injection molding tool design, cost, and time. Ascend empowers companies to use the same manufactured parts for R&D and production. Empowering Change: Imagine the ability to change or create a part design with no capital cost to make, track or update an injection molding tool. Increase Speed, Decrease Cost: Ascend enables a new agile supply chain that can rapidly respond to situational changes, speed to market and eliminates tooling cost for both R&D and production parts. |
When 3D printing first became popular 20 years ago, we all thought we would be 3D printing everything from toys to cars to everything in a couple of years. However, it became clear there were certain limitations of strength, speed of mass quantities and cost of materials that stood in the way of those dreams. Over the years strength of parts continued to be refined, but speed and cost has never been solved, until now! The new patented technique of Fusion Molding prints in sheets rather than a single point or points. This is similar to how a photo copier prints in full sheets verse drawing a single line at a time. Printing in this manner enables unprecedented speeds in additive manufacturing, while utilizing mass-produced materials overcomes past limitations. Fusion Molding is able to produce parts with the same throughput and with a similar price point!
