A water-cutting machine's rubber cover kept breaking within minutes, causing sand and water damage. A Proof of Concept tested 3D-printed replacements using Nylon with Carbon Fiber, extending durability from 5 minutes to over 20 hours (240x improvement). Next steps involve setting up in-house 3D printing capabilities, training, and production setup. Click here for more info.
