LOST WAX CASTING WITH 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY

Investment casting is a manufacturing process that has many benefits over other methods. It can be used to produce objects that are made from materials such as cast iron and aluminum. The process of lost wax casting is also much simpler than other methods, and it results in a more accurate reproduction of the object.


 In addition, the process is less likely to damage the object during the manufacturing process. 3D printing is another manufacturing technology that offers many benefits over traditional methods. It is a faster and more efficient way to produce objects, and it can be used to create objects with very intricate designs. 3D printing is also less likely to damage the object during the manufacturing process.


Metal 3D printing is a newer technology that offers even more benefits over traditional methods. It is a faster, more accurate, and less expensive way to produce objects. Metal 3D printing is also less likely to damage the object during the manufacturing process.

Bespoke  Toy

"this may seem a little thing to someone else, but this is absolutely amazing. Having something made for my 5 year old that is totally obsessed with a toy that was never made. I can not wait to see his face when he opens it for Christmas this year, he has asked for one for the last 3 years, Christmas and Birthdays which i haven't been able to do.


Thank you so much for your help, you don't know what it means to me. I'm sure this was a bit of a random request for you but you were still willing to help.


Thank you,"


Emma

Most Unusual Request

"I had a most unusual request Dwight Mitchell and son. I wanted a foot shaped poster that was waterproof to guide people attending my clinic around the side of my house. I couldn’t have asked for a more exact design. And it was completely bespoke, as there was no readymade template. Really pleased!"



carburettor parts

"I would just like to say that Dwight made some obsolete carburettor parts for my boat. This was partly experimental and could have easily been a waste of time if it hadn't been for the perseverance of Dwight. A clever man who sorted out a problem that would have otherwise cost me hundreds of pounds. A very professional and modern solution to ageing and no longer available engine parts. Thank you "

 Hinge for Cardboard

"Thank you so much for delivering our order.  Your service has been superb and we will certainly be in touch if the need for anymore 3D printing arises.  


was kept informed of progress, even the fact the first batch was not up to expected standards so was doing another batch prior to delivery which was carried out expeditiously"

 boat canvas fasteners

"3D printing of boat canvas fasteners Very professional service resulting in a near duplicate of the original fastener. The first batch printed where very marginally larger at 3mm which the company identified, made us aware of and then immediately re-printed correcting the error. You could not really ask for more."

Created 3D Models

"Great attention to detail, very professional and great service."

Designed and produced Social distancing communion trays

"These guys are great! The Communion Trays for Socially distanced worship are just brill. Allowing us to safely carry on with our worship without risking transmission of the virus. Good comms, good price, a very blessed customer."

3d Model
3D  Printing

The most common 3D Printer:

The FDM printer is the most common type of 3D printed object you'll find at home or in schools. This  technology has been used for years by designers, engineers and architects to create models that can be tested before being manufactured into full size objects
What makes it so versatile? First off there's no need constantly monitoring feed rates because everything happens right here on this surface - all your model needs are some basic furnishings such as nuts & bolts; if they don't have those already then simply grab an bunch from any nearby store!

It works by heating up and extruding a filament of plastic, which is then deposited in layers to create a 3D object. The FDM process can create objects from many different types of plastic including PLA and ABS.


List of  Technology terms:


  1. FDM => Fused Deposition  Modeling ( Desktop 3D Printer)
  2. SLA   => Stereolithography
  3. MSLA = > Masked Stereolithography
  4. SLS  = > Selective Laser Sintering
  5. DLP => Digital Light Process
  6. MJF => Multi Jet Fusion
  7. DMLS => Direct Metal Laser Sintering
  8. EBM  => Electro Beam Melting
  9. PBF = > Powder Bed Fusion ( sometimes also referred to as MJF)


CAD  Design

 

Reverse engineering

 

Reverse Engineering is a process which enables users to create an exact replica of any object or part with the help 3D printing. With this technology, you can 3D scan your desired item and convert it into CAD file for printing on compatible machines using additive manufacturing techniques like 3D Printing. The output should be more creative 3D printing has been changing the world of manufacturing for years.


Reverse engineering is one way that this technology can be put to use- enabling users not only print out copies or spare parts from their own objects but also those which are otherwise hard find and expensive in stores! is the process of recovering the original design from an existing product. It is used to create copies of existing products, or sometimes it can be used to modify an existing product. is the process of discovering the technological principles of a device, object or system through analysis of its structure, function and operation


Rapid prototyping:



It is usually applied to extract useful information from products under study. It is also used to create new products and production methods.

Using 3D printing technology, we can produce prototypes of the original product on a smaller scale, which is faster and more cost-effective than

The process involves taking measurements of the existing product and then using those measurements to create a replica in CAD. This is then modified until it matches the original design. Often times  the replica part would  need  alterations to the traditional design and be modified and would need designing for 3d printing due the manufacturing method  applied




This process has three stages: implementation, design and analysis. In the first stage -implementation-, you need to quickly learn about your application in order for it not be too much of a challenge on top what may already seem like an impossible task at hand! Quickly get prepared by researching all aspects that are relevant before moving onto step two (design) or even just taking some time out during this period where everything will become clearer once more when done correctly later down life line

Metal 3D Print Service

What Is FDM (fused deposition modelling) 3D Metal Printing?


FDM is a type of additively manufactured durable product that can be produced with either metal or plastic filaments. The name describes how these materials are fused together during printing process by being melted and then extruded through nozzles like objects inside your home printer! This technology has been around since 1986 but was revolutionary enough back then to warrant its own article; read on if you want talk about what makes this method unique among others out there today.
3d printing in the UK, went "Viral" from end of 2019 and was thrown into the lime light due to COVID-19 out break becoming a vital tool in the fight against the virus in the beginning stages


3D Printed Metal




Can FDM Plastic Filament 3D printers also be used for metallic filament?

Some people think that FDM 3d printers can only use  plastic filaments, but it's possible to use for this purpose also. You just need an extra nozzle and some slicing software So what would be the advantages of using such printing technologies? Well for starters they're efficient because no energy is lost during production process; also there are less restrictions on material compatibility since this technique allows us go pretty much anywhere within reason when making physical objects from different alloys or even completely non-living substances like clay!


Metal  steps

Sintering

Sintering, a natural process used to form solids through heat and pressure without melting the material into liquids or gasses is one way that minerals can be deposited on other surfaces. This technique has been widely applied in industries such as ceramics manufacturing where it produces strong durable pieces with incredible detail while maintaining their shape over time - perfect for any collection!
