Recap of top linear-motion technologies at MD&M West

February 17, 2016 By Lisa Eitel 2 Comments

3D printing factors big into the future of medical-device manufacturing

Next, I got the chance to go see the folks at Fenner Precision, who were exhibiting an array of timing belts in several pitches —reinforced with Kevlar and other materials. I chatted with Dayna Freedman here about the XACT 3D timing-belt offering, which we hope to cover in upcoming editorial. The product line is specifically targeted to providing precise linear motion in 3D printing applications … which was a common theme at the show.
