3D Printing & Rapid Prototyping Services

Introduction to 3D Printing

3D printing is an additive‐manufacturing process that transforms digital CAD models into physical objects, layer by layer. Using computer-controlled energy sources—most commonly a laser or electron beam—liquid or powder materials are selectively solidified to produce complex geometries without traditional tooling.

Core Technologies

• SLA (Stereolithography)

– Liquid photopolymer resin cured by a UV laser for high-resolution parts.

– Ideal for detailed prototypes, transparent components, and smooth surface finishes.

• SLM (Selective Laser Melting)

– Metal powder fusion (stainless steels, aluminum, titanium) using a high-power laser.

– Produces fully dense metal parts for functional testing and low-volume production.

• Mold 3D Printing

– Direct 3D printing of mold inserts or master patterns (resin or metal) for soft tooling.

– Shortens lead time for limited-run injection molds or vacuum casting.

• Injection Mold Printing

– Hybrid process combining 3D-printed mold components with conventional steel mold bases.

– Supports bridge tooling and rapid mold modifications.

What Is Rapid Prototyping?

Rapid prototyping uses 3D printing and related methods to quickly produce physical models of your design. It’s a cost-effective way to validate form, fit, and function without investing in hard tooling. Typical lead times range from a few hours (small SLA parts) to several days (complex SLM metal parts).
