Design and Engineering Firm Pensa adds Method XL for Small Batch Production

Pensa, a design and engineering consultancy, has added the Method XL 3D printer to its lineup of 3D printers. The Method XL joins the Method and Method X to provide a seamless 3D printing process for prototyping, R&D, and scaling production. The team at Pensa finds the Method platform to be useful, consistent, and resilient, and they appreciate that the whole printing process remains the same across all machines. They have been using the Method XL to print a variety of applications, including tooling and prototypes, for their newest C64 machine. The large build volume of the Method XL allows the team to print entire projects or larger parts with many iterations. The ability to run a full batch of parts and prototype larger parts has been a significant advantage for Pensa. They find that 3D printing is a more viable option for their small batch production runs, as it saves time, effort, and costs compared to injection molding. The team can print ABS parts on the Method XL to check fits and intersections before going to injection molding. Pensa values the stability, predictability, surface quality, and durability of ABS and appreciates that the Method XL can deliver accurate, high-quality prints with industrial-grade engineering capabilities. They also use the RapidRinse soluble support material for parts with intricate details, which simplifies the support removal process. Overall, Pensa is pleased with the surface finish, tolerance, accuracy, and repeatability of the parts printed on the Method XL.
