APPLICATIONS

Applications: Additional Services

INITIAL PROTOTYPING

Quickly advance through multiple design iterations with high quality prints at a low cost to optimize your design.

FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPING

Use high strength 3D printing to understand how your design will perform prior to sending to production.

TESTING

Validate mechanical assemblies more efficiently and quickly by 3D printing testing fixtures, jigs, brackets and other hardware.

TOOLING

Produce metal parts that need bent or formed with 3D printed composite press tooling at a much quicker and lower tooling cost. Make smooth urethane casting and plastic injection molds with high definition SLA printing.

PRODUCTION AID

Use additive manufacturing to reduce work holding costs used to hold low volume or geometrically complex end use parts. 3D print machine vise soft jaws to hold difficult parts in secondary machining operations. Create jigs to accurately hold parts for drilling, sanding and deburring operations.

ASSEMBLY

Optimize your process by using 3D printed assembly, locating, and welding fixtures.

INSPECTION

Use glass filled materials to produce rigid, non-marring and dimensionally stable inspection fixtures at a fraction of the cost of tradition methods. Create CMM fixtures, go/no-go gauges, limit gauges and other automated inspection hardware with additive manufacturing.

END USE PARTS

For low volume production, custom parts, or components with high geometric complexity, additive manufacturing can be utilized to directly fabricate end use parts.
