3D Printed Tool Steel 1.2709/MSI
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
3D printed tool steel is a material obtained by superimposing fine layers of steel. 3D printed steel enables you to make parts for very technical applications that sometimes perform better than those manufactured by traditional methods. The benefits of using 3D printed tool steel are many, but the most important one is that it gives you the ability to create parts that are very precise and accurate.
3D printed tool steel is ideal for creating parts that need to be very strong and durable. It is also perfect for applications where weight is a critical factor, such as in the aerospace industry. Another great benefit of using 3D printed tool steel is that it is very easy to work with. You can easily create complex shapes and geometries that would be very difficult to produce using traditional manufacturing methods.
If you are looking for a material that can give you the ability to create parts that are both strong and accurate, then 3D printed tool steel is the perfect choice for you.
Additive Manufacturing (AM) is the production of a part through a rapid prototyping process using various techniques to produce parts layer by layer from 3D CAD models. It can also be used for production runs or where small, complex components are required that cannot easily be made using traditional manufacturing methods. We are an AM provider serving customers globally in industries including aerospace,
