3D Printing

3D printing has become more accessible due to the increase in resolution and the reliability of the printers. However, 3D printing in high-resolution for very fine details for prototyping and model making still requires specialized 3D printers, knowhow of CAD software and material properties of different 3D printable materials. Our 3D printing solutions utilize our SLA based 3D printers to print parts and components with smooth surfaces, hold reliable tolerances and offer a large catalogue of materials. Our catalogue of materials ranges from standard modelmaking materials, to a variety of engineering materials. We also offer more specialized materials that are flexible, elastic and high temperature resistant. In addition, we can also print materials that are approved by the FDA for bioprinting applications. By offering 3D printing services in-house, we can combine it with our other services to create hybrid solutions.

HIGH-RESOLUTION 3D PRINTING

The high-resolution 3D printing solution is aimed at providing customers access to 3D printing services that are high-quality and affordable at the same time. We have in-house 3D printers that are based on SLA technology, which is known for providing prints with smooth finishes with no visible layer lines. With the addition of a vast catalogue of plastic materials, customers get the choice of choosing the right material for their needs.

High-resolution 3D printing is used widely in modelmaking especially in the architectural modelmaking industry. For centuries architects have used models to portray and study their projects and designs. These models are typically made from moldable materials like clay or cardboard. With the rise of 3D printing, making intricate and complex models has never been easier. 3D printing architectural models is very compatible with the current digital workflow that most architects use as it is much easier to transfer a digital design to a 3D model. For architects of this era, 3D Printing allows them to showcase evermore intricate designs while still keeping the cost relatively low.

For modelmakers and architects, our team can help in pre-processing and down-scaling designs for 3D printing. For more information, see our pre-processing and down-scaling solution. In addition, our high-resolution 3D printing service is combined with our 3D scanning service for a complete in-house solution for digitizing and recreating a physical object.

FAST-PROTOTYPING

The Fast-Prototyping solution is aimed at providing an affordable and reliable 3D printing service to our customers. For the most part, this solution is combined with our Product Design solution as add-on for fast in-house prototyping.

Our Fast-Prototyping solution takes advantage of the many engineering materials we are capable of 3D printing in. The engineering materials range from Rigid materials that provide high stiffness to Tough materials that are impact resistant. We have specialized materials that exhibit properties that are similar HDPE or PP, materials for high temperature applications, and flexible and elastic applications.

Combined with our high-resolution printers and choice of multiple engineering materials, prototyping new plastic designs has never been easier. For more information on how we combine our 3D printing service and Mechanical design services, please visit our Product Design solution page from the link below. Feel free to contact us if you have a design that needs our prototyping service.

PREPROCESSING AND SCALING

Our Preprocessing and Scaling solution for 3D printing is intended to help customers fix their existing designs and scale them if needed.

The first part of the solution is aimed at fixing errors in mesh files such as removing outlier faces, reducing polygon counts and converting CAD files to 3D printable formats like .STL and .OBJ. The second part is aimed at scaling up or down original models. When scaling down parts and equipment for 3D printing, choices have to be made on which features have to be kept and which features will have to be removed while still maintaining the look of the original model. For showcasing models, we pre-process and scale down the original design and 3D print them using materials that are truer to the original design.

BIOPRINTING

Our Bioprinting solution is essentially a 3D printing service targeted at bioengineering applications like that of orthosis and prosthesis. Combined with our Bioengineering Applications solution, we can provide our customers a complete in-house solution for taking a design from concept to final production.

3D printing is a viable solution for making orthotics and prosthetics as they can be custom made to perfectly fit a patient. Additionally, 3D printers are able to print complex designs from materials that are as strong but lighter than traditional ones. We can also use materials that are FDA certified for applications that require it. Contact us for more information regarding 3D printing for bioengineering applications and how we can help you design better orthotics and prosthetics using advanced CAD software and 3D scanning in conjunction with 3D printing.
