3D Printing.
3D Printing creates a physical object from a digital design and is perfect for creating one-off prototypes or for low volume manufacture.
Our 3D printing services are ideal for:
Turning your CAD scans into a rapid prototype
Low volume manufacture
Vacuum casting
Concept modelling
Simulation modelling
Recreating models from damaged originals
FDM
Fused deposition modelling.
FDM Printing.
Fused filament fabrication, also known as fused deposition modelling, or called filament freeform fabrication, is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material. Filament is fed from a large spool through a moving, heated printer extruder head, and is deposited on the growing work.
SLA
Stereolithography Apparatus.
SLA Printing.
Stereolithography belongs to a family of additive manufacturing technologies known as vat photopolymerization, commonly known as resin 3D printing. These machines are all built around the same principle, using a light source—a laser or projector—to cure liquid resin into hardened plastic. The main physical differentiation lies in the arrangement of the core components, such as the light source, the build platform, and the resin tank.
SLS
Selective Laser Sintering.
SLS Printing.
Selective laser sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing technique that uses a laser as the power source to sinter powdered material (typically nylon or polyamide), aiming the laser automatically at points in space defined by a 3D model, binding the material together to create a solid structure.
MJF
Multi Jet Fusion.
MJF Printing.
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a technology that HP has specifically developed. MJF and SLS are very similar printing methods as they both belong to the powder bed fusion family. However, MJF typically provides strong, more flexible parts which are more comparable to injection moulded properties. In contrast, SLS offers a broader range of materials and colour finishes.
