Diebold
associates use rapid prototyping to ready ATMs for customer use
Ensuring an
ATM is ready to safeguard and dispense cash to customers is a
detailed process that begins in the design stage. Before any
life-size ATM is ever manufactured, a prototype, or exact replica of
a part, is made. To do this, Diebold uses a process called fused
deposition modeling (FDM) rapid prototyping, which fabricates
physical objects directly from computer-aided design (CAD) data
sources.
FDM prototypes improve component design and reduce time spent
modifying production injection molds, resulting in significant
savings for the company.
“The FDM parts give us the accuracy and functionality we
need,” said Diebold’s senior mechanical engineer Rich Lute. “We also
eliminate throw-away, single-use prototypes since an FDM part serves
many purposes.”

Diebold
associate helps with air field dedication
Diebold’s Norm Vandecarr, a Diebold customer solutions engineer
in Palm Beach
Gardens, Fla., played an important role at a recent dedication party
for the Boca Raton Army Air Field. He volunteered to open a Mosler
file safe for members of the Boca Raton Historical Society that
hadn’t been opened for more than 40 years. Diebold acquired Mosler's
assets and service business in 2001.
The historical society, which works to collect and
preserve information and artifacts relevant to the history of Boca
Raton, organized the event to help raise funds to sustain the famed
World War II air field. Once it was cracked, the safe produced Navy
and Air Force documents and photos – some labeled as top secret.
Many of the safe drawers were auctioned off, with the proceeds going
to charity, and the documents were given to the historical society
for preservation. To read the entire story, click
