3D printing | Challenge accepted. “Innovation firmly under control”- 3D printed tractor joystick. Classic injection molding? Or innovative 3D printing? Lindner Traktoren relies on joysticks from the 3D printer <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The renowned Austrian tractor factory LINDNER<\/strong><\/a> with its headquarters in Kundl\/Tyrol was faced with a decision:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Continue to manufacture the control levers\/joysticks for the driver’s cabs using injection molding or break new ground?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, the joysticks were manufactured in 2 parts using the injection molding process. This required two injection molds and caused additional assembly work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every Lindner tractor has a joystick that can be used to control a wide range of functions. But not every tractor has the same one. Because individual customer wishes come first. How can small series be produced quickly, to the highest quality and at low cost? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time was ripe to think about alternatives. It wouldn’t be LINDNER if we didn’t want to be one step ahead here too. No sooner said than done! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
