3D printing technology is a low cost and flexible manufacturing process allowing for post extrusion alterations. This makes prototyping easy to produce enabling you to test and refine your product.
3D printing, produces three-dimensional objects from digital designs. Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM). In FDM, an object is constructed by selectively depositing melted material such as plastics, liquids or powder grains in a pre-determined path that are layered and fused together.
Our FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) style printers can print with PLA , ABS, PETG, ASA and IGUS wear resistant filaments.
3D Printing
With access to the latest additive manufacturing technologies our 3D printing allows for the the design and rapid production of more complex shapes than traditional manufacturing methods. Due to its speed it enables rapid prototyping of both strong and lightweight parts. It is also a cost effective technology that minimises waste.
'With access to the latest additive manufacturing technologies we are able to deliver production services and rapid prototyping with a choice or materials'.
