3D Printing

Introducing a revolutionary new technology for creating prototype parts.   3D printers can quickly produce accurate, functional, plastic parts to help you in a number of ways.

From File...                                          To Physical Part...

                        ....  In 1-5 business days!

Uses include:

Engineering Design Verification
Functional Testing
Marketing Demos
Customer Evaluations
Product Miniatures
Master Parts for Mold Making
Vacuum Forming Molds

We use 3D Printing technology from Z Corporation.  Parts are made from a  plaster-like material that has been infilitrated with epoxy to give it strength. 

 Z310 Printer Specifications:

Build Size:   8" x 10" x 8"

Layer Thickness (Z axis):  .0035" (.089mm)

Resolution (X-Y axis):  300 x 450 dpi

File Formats:  STL, VRML, 3DS, PLY

We can print a minimum wall thickness of 0.040".    Please consult with us about smaller features.

3D Printed parts can be sanded, drilled, machined, painted and even metal plated.

Parts can also be printed in variety of materials with properties ranging  from structurally rigid ABS plastic to a more rubber like elastometric consistency.   Material data sheets are available upon request.

We can also arrange  to have parts printed in high-fidelity 24 bit color allowing you to produce full color models for better representation of assemblies, improved engineering  labeling, accurate FEA data output, and vibrant product coloring.
