RAPID PROTOTYPING & SMALL BATCH PRODUCTION

Rapid prototyping serves as an invaluable tool for businesses aiming to swiftly iterate and test their product designs, enabling them to refine concepts and identify improvements efficiently. For small batch production runs, 3D printing technologies (FDM) and  (SLS) provide a cost-effective and agile solution, enabling companies to produce limited quantities of customized components or products without the need for expensive tooling or lengthy setup times

Fused Deposition Modeling

or FDM 3D Printing

FDM printers work by heating a thermoplastic filament to its melting point and then extruding it, layer by layer, to create a three dimensional object.

FDM printers are relatively inexpensive and easy to use, making them a popular choice for home and small-scale 3D printing

Stereolithography (SLA)

Stereolithography works by using a photopolymer resin that is cured by exposure to light.

The machine traces out the desired geometry layer by layer using a computer-controlled moving laser beam.

The beam is directed by mirrors that are positioned around the build platform.

CAD DESIGN & REVERSE ENGINEERING

When it comes to certain projects, a computer-aided design, or CAD, can be extremely beneficial. A main advantage to using CAD is the fact that it provides experts with greater accuracy. This is done by replacing manual drafting with electronic design software, such as SketchUp, Fusion 360, or AutoCAD Design Edition.

SOME INFOMATION ABOUT THE MATERIAL


Onyx was created to be the perfect material for 3D printing. It is a fusion of engineering nylon and chopped carbon fibers, which gives it a high-quality surface finish. The chopped fibers within the Onyx material add stiffness to your 3D printed parts, providing micro-carbon reinforcement to make parts stiff, strong, and true to their dimensions.


Onyx is perfect for any application that requires strong, stiff, and dimensionally accurate parts. It is frequently used for functional prototypes, end-use parts, and low-volume production runs. Onyx is also great for applications that require wear resistance, such as gears, bearings, and bushings.


If you are looking for a material that can give you the strength of carbon fiber reinforced plastic without the high cost, Onyx is the perfect choice. With Onyx, you can have the best of both worlds: high strength and low cost.

With a high deflection temperature of 293º F (145º C), Onyx is the perfect material for strong parts that need to withstand high temp conditions.An enormously important component within the KAJA development processes is therefore the 3D-printer from Markforged. With the desktop version Onyx Pro von Markforged, glassfibre reinforced components can be printed within a very short time. Extremely stable and waterproof, these components can go directly into testing.

tensile strength of 560 MPa
