3D Printed Bronze

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.
