Fighting Fire with Innovation - Altair Inspire Empowers M&H CNC Technik to Optimize SYNEX’s Innovative Fire Extinguisher

SYNEX TECH GmbH, a special machinery company based in Bad Goisern, Austria, develops a variety of innovative products for customers worldwide. Developed from the idea of a mechanical engineering student who is also a firefighter, SYNEX developed DRILL-X, the world’s first fire extinguishing device that combines drilling and extinguishing. Together with the additive manufacturing (AM) specialist M&H CNC Technik, SYNEX used Altair® Inspire™ to optimize the device’s design and its manufacturing process. Altair Inspire enabled M&H CNC Technik to specifically design components for 3D printing and thus make optimal use of the advantages of additive manufacturing. In addition to optimizing components for the prototypes, Altair technology enabled SYNEX to optimize these parts with regard to series production, thus cutting down product development and AM costs by reducing material usage, print times, and post-processing effort In addition to optimizing components for the prototypes, Altair technology enabled SYNEX to optimize these parts with regard to series production, thus cutting down product development and AM costs by reducing material usage, print times, and post-processing effort.
