3D Printing - also known as additive manufacturing is the most trending manufacturing technology used to convert concepts into the end-products and also for the mass production. It is the term that covers a host of processes which produce parts layer by layer compared to the traditional methods involving subtractive methods or moulding/casting processes. The choice of additive process and the material will be determined by the project requirement.

Why 3D Printing

3D Printing Processes

We offer following 3D Printing processes to fulfill you demand from prototypes to short run production.

Processes

MATERIALS:

ABS/ABS PLUS

ASA

PLA

NYLON

ULTEM/PEI

PEEK

GENERAL APPLICATIONS:

Prototypes for form, fit and function validation.

End-use applications of complex parts in low volume

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

It is also known as Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), is the most widely available 3D printing process belongs to the material extrusion family. The extruded melted material is deposited in a pre-determined path layer-by-layer to form the final product. It is mainly used for early-stage prototyping and design validation stages. The most common materials used are thermoplastic and its composites.
