3D Printing

.

What is 3D Printing:

.

3D printing (Additive Manufacturing) uses a 3D cad model of a part to produce the actual solid model of that part. This 3D cad model is saved in a format that can be used by a 3D printer. The 3D printer creates the part one layer at a time from the printer material, and the layers are fused together to form a solid part that is identical in shape to the 3D cad model. Some of the 3D printing technologies available are FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), Polyjet, Laser Sintering, Stereolithography, and Metal Powder Bed Fusion. Because 3D printing requires no tooling or set up, the part will be created in less time with less expense than would be incurred by machining your part.

We Can Create 3D Printed Parts for You:

.

All we need from you is a 2D sketch of your part, from which we will create a 3D CAD model. This CAD model can be sent directly to you in 3D printer format (model_name.stl), or to a company that specializes in 3D Printing. This 3D Printing Company can then send the finished parts directly to you.
