The AMTI OrthoPOD is a six-station pin-on-plate wear-testing machine. Unlike a conventional pin-on-disk machine the OrthoPod provides the means to program complex motion paths which play an important part in the wear of anisotropic materials like polymers and composites. The OrthoPod has six sample stations where each station will accommodate a pin and plate sample pair. (read more)

The Crittercam is worn by wild animals, as seen in National Geographic's "March of the Penguins". The Crittercam team needed a prototype part to create a smaller, lighter model camera with the latest audio/video technology. A custom SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) part would serve multiple purposes, allowing total design freedom, they needed it fast...couldn't keep the penguins waiting! (read more)
