Mainly for the procedure of reverse engineering or tailor-made spare parts design , MORFI proceeds to an extended exploitation of 3-D prototyping. Although many designers and end-users underestimate the fact that 3-D prototyping techniques produce parts with directional anisotropy, therefore lacking the strength and stiffness (let aside the large dimensional tolerance field) of the machined parts, MORFI takes it seriously into account. Thus, rapid prototyping either on plastic using a FORTUS RP machine or on metal using a SLM 250 selective laser melting RP machine, can yield functional parts that can be used, apart from reverse engineering tools, to withstand significant service loads.
