There are many parts in a manufacturing plant that are not stocked in inventory, but which are needed when damaged. Azoth’s customer broke a pulley on their air spindle gage bench. The traditional supplier had a min order quantity of 20 and a 6 week lead time. Azoth was able to improve the design of the part to prevent breaking …
Utilizing Thread Inserts
Azoth delivers end-use parts ready to go into the machine without the customers needing to post-process. One method to ensure quality threads is to utilize heat-set thread inserts. Azoth can help you design for this and installs them onsite in a reliable and repeatable process. Tapping plastic works when the bolt may only be tightened down one time, but thread …
Advanced Part Making
Need to link external data to your part? Utilizing Rize technology, Azoth can selectively jet additives at each voxel (3D pixel) wherever they are needed to mark the part. Input logos, part numbers or even QR codes on your part. Through QR codes, Azoth can enable your digital business allowing you to quickly access product specs, assembly instructions, or reordering …

Within 48 hours the solution was implemented across 25 locations in the facility! Easily address safety concerns through printing safety solutions quickly. In this safety incident, an employee was …
Jig & Fixture Design
Quickly generate ideal work holding solutions! Utilizing your existing CAD model or through scanning your part, Azoth can design jig-sand fixtures ready for 3D printing. This is great for holding the part during a manufacturing process or for creating molds or even for soft jaw applications. Quickly generate ideal work holding solutions! Utilizing your existing CAD model or through scanning …
Custom Gage Covers
Azoth enables manufacturing plants to implement new ideas quickly and efficiently. In this case, manufacturing coolants were getting into expensive dial indicators. Instead of replacing the gage, Azoth design custom covers to protect them from coolants and impact. Azoth enables manufacturing plants to implement new ideas quickly and efficiently. In this case, manufacturing coolants were getting into expensive dial indicators. …
Printing Metal Machine Spare Parts
Azoth can transition previously machine parts to 3D printed parts ready to be manufactured on demand. In this application, the customer had a down machine with a 6 week lead time for the traditional part. Azoth was able to design the part for additive and provide an as-printed sample in 4 days and a heat-treated replacement part in 7 days. …
Gripper Fingers
Fully optimize gripper fingers for your application. Azoth uses the latest software and materials to improve gripper finger performance. Pictured is a set of gripper fingers reinforced with continuous strand carbon fiber around the mounting locations. In addition, the fingers are printed in nylon with a 30% chopped carbon fiber infill. Azoth is able to replace common manufacturing materials like …
Reverse Engineering Of A Gear
Problem: Azoth’s customer desired a 2-piece gear design for a machine spare part. They had a design concept in mind (top two pictures above) but no part prints to make it happen. Solution: Azoth scanned the gear geometry, used CAD to modify the gear to a 2 piece design, and 3D printed a new gear out of steel.Problem: Azoth’s customer …
3D Scanning For Inspection
3D Scanning for inspection is a powerful tool to inspect complex, one-off components. Azoth’s ensure quality parts are delivered using scanner accurate to +/- 5um. Rather than creating time-consuming CMM programs, Azoth can quickly scan the part and compare it against the CAD model. Outputs include traditional inspection reports and color maps to measure surface deviations. 3D Scanning for inspection …
