Desktop Printing creates a new workshop wrench by 3d printing it out -- it impressively does not compromise its strength and uses 30% less material than the usual wrench. The company uses a gyroid-style in-fill that is often seen in the 3D printing process to fill the gaps.
This gives the metal wrenches their unique strength while also allowing them to reduce the amount of material that is needed. The functional tool results in the same when it is completed with less mass overall. These wrenches are made from a process that is known as Single Pass Jetting, which is a proprietary form of metal 3D printing that is made by the company itself. It truly highlights the expertise that the company has developed in the art of 3D printing.
