Metal Additive Technology
Laser powder bed fusion process enables the fabrication of fully dense 3D Structures by selective melting of micro-sized metal powder using a high-intensity laser beam. Due to its ability to form fully dense structures, the mechanical properties are equivalent to those achieved by the use of conventional manufacturing methodology.
CNC machining ensures smooth post-processing by correcting build imperfections and precisely removing components from the base plate after additive manufacturing.
Conformal cooling channel is a cooling passageway which follows the shape or profile of the mold core or cavity to perform rapid uniform cooling process for injection molding or blow molding processes.
Polymer Additive Technology
Laser Sintering (LS)—often called Selective Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a polymer 3D printing process that builds parts directly from digital data by laser-sintering fine powder layer by layer. The result is lightweight, accurate, and durable parts with strong mechanical and heat-resistant properties—without the need for molds or tooling.
It is a form of Additive manufacturing technology used for creating models, prototypes, patterns, and production parts in a layer by layer fashion using photo polymerization.
Vacuum Casting
Patterns are 3D solids of your CAD designs. They are usually made by CNC machining or with 3D plastic printing such as SLA/SLS. You can supply your own patterns or we can make them for you. Patterns need to be able to withstand heating to 40°C.
Casting moulds are made from liquid silicone. This silicone is
poured around the master pattern inside of a casting box, and then allowed to cure in an oven for 16 hours. Once dried, the mold is cut open and the master removed, leaving behind an empty cavity in the exact negative shape of the original.
Your choice of casting resins can now be poured into the empty cavity to create a highly accurate copy of the original. It’s even possible to overmold with two or more materials. Silicone molds are typically good for 20 or so copies of the master pattern.
