Processes
FDM: Fused Deposition Modelling
- FDM Technology builds large parts in strong, stable plastics with a tight tolerance.
- True engineering grade materials that are great for prototypes or rapid manufacturing.
- If your design has to withstand tough testing or harsh environments in your work environment, this is the technology for you.
PolyJet
- PolyJet technology 3D prints in the widest range of materials, so you can create realistic prototypes that closely resemble your finished products.
- Model can be printed in layers as fine as 16 microns for smooth surfaces and complex geometries.
- Material properties range from rubber to rigid, transparent to opaque, neutral to colour and standard to biocompatible.
SLA: Stereolithography
- SLA creates dimensionally accurate and smooth parts
- This technology is often used for large concept models, prototypes and lightweight display models
- Ability to print watertight components in clear materials making it easy to test fluid flow found in product designs
PBF: Powder-Bed Fusion
- Fast build times coupled with rapid post processing
- MJF enables mass customisation in the build without the need for tooling
- Three times faster than traditional SLS technologies
