Our network of manufacturing experts provides a range of rapid prototyping services. Whether you're looking to produce a stunning investor model or to test a rigorous functional prototype, you'll find a wide variety of technologies and materials at your disposal, including both 3D printing and rapid machining. Produce a few early concept prototypes, or create thousands of end-use parts finished and ready for your clients. Find the solution that works for your designs.

  • Functional Prototypes
  • Presentation Models
  • Rapid Tooling
  • Low-Volume Production
3D Printing / Additive Manufacturing

The technology for 3D printing parts and assemblies has really taken off over the past few years. 3D printers are growing ever more powerful Take advantage of state-of-the-art 3D printing technologies to manufacture complex parts and assemblies directly from CAD files. Design your parts for optimum functionality, not to meet specific machining requirements! The design flexibility, fast lead time, and diversity of printing materials make 3D printing one of the most exciting fields of manufacturing technology.

Our additive manufacturing experts can produce parts from a wide variety of metals, plastics, and resins. Technologies include:

  • PolyJet
  • Z-Corp
  • Projet
  • Fused Deposition Modeling
  • Selective Laser Sintering
  • Stereolithography

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Selective Laser Sinteringis a manufacturing process that uses a CO2 laser to fuse thermoplastic or metal powders into functional, durable 3D objects. A range of materials are available to meet different mechanical requirements, including metallic and silicone-like elastomers in addition to plastics. SLS printing produces parts with low weight and considerable functionality. Though originally used for prototyping, SLS manufacturing is now also used in the fabrication of end-use parts and assemblies.

The benefits of SLS include:

  • Durable, functional parts and tools
  • Low-volume, end-use production quality parts
  • Living hinge and snap function capabilities
  • Available in nylon, metal, and elastomeric materials
  • Works great with fixtures, jigs, and assemblies
  • Rapid tooling and fast production
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)

An additive manufacturing technology similar to SLS which creates 3D printed metal objects.Direct Metal Laser Sinteringuses lasers to fuse powdered metal to create complex metal parts that would be impossible using conventional manufacturing technologies. This technique allows for a much more flexible approach to design, as complex geometries can be maintained within a single part, avoiding the extra costs and engineering restrictions of multi-part assemblies.

  • Ideal for high-temperature applications
  • Highly accurate metal parts without machining or tooling
  • Great for tough functional tests
  • DMSL has been used to create afully-functional rocket engine.
Stereolithography (SLA)

Stereolithographyis a layer-additive manufacturing process which uses a UV laser to solidify photosensitive resins into intricately detailed objects with smooth surface finishing in a wide variety of materials. With layers as thin as 0.002 inches, extremely precise details are achievable without the need for any post-processing. One of the earliest 3D printing technologies, SLA remains unrivaled when it comes to producing intricately detailed parts with high-quality surface finishing. The benefits include:

  • Clear and opaque material options
  • Layers as fine as .002 of an inch (two-thousandths)
  • Fine level of feature detail
  • Light-duty, functioning prototypes
  • Can create parts of virtually any size
  • Great models for presentation
  • Excellent at producing casting patterns
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Fused Deposition Modelingis a layer additive manufacturing process for creating parts and assemblies from production-grade thermoplastics. Parts can be built to the same rigorous standards as conventional manufacturing, allowing for both highly functional prototypes as well as rugged end-use parts. FDM machines are reliable for precise replication of parts and so can be used for production runs.

  • Production-level thermoplastics
  • Durable for end-use parts and functional prototypes
  • High strength-to-weight ratio
  • Prototypes that match material qualities of production parts
CNC Machining (Milling / Turning)

CNC machininguses a subtractive manufacturing process where a high-speed cutting machine removes material from a block or pre-existing part. Extremely precise detail is possible with minimal lead time, making it an ideal rapid manufacturing technology for high-tolerance applications. Virtually any engineering material can be machined, including wood, plastic, metal, and foam.

  • 极其精确快速的男人ufacturing technology
  • Production runs can be completed in just days
  • Ideal technology for creating highly detailed master patterns for molding and casting.
  • Materials options can include ABS, Aluminum, steel, brass, nylons and many more
Composites and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Molds

Composite and carbon fiber reinforcedparts for situations where you need extra strength or protection. Composites are used for a variety of applications, from compartment covers and recreational vehicle panels to MRI coils. Use reinforced composite covers to house sensitive equipment and to protect other materials from the elements, or to complete the perfect look for your consumer product.

  • Kevlar, carbon fiber, fiberglass and epoxy composite materials to suit any use.
  • FRP and RTM methodologies available
  • Used for automotive covers, recreational vehicle paneling, medical instruments and outdoor equipment housing
