Technology

FDM

Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology, also known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), builds objects from the bottom up by layering plastic that’s heated in a moving extrusion head.

Polyjet

PolyJet 3D printing technology produces smooth, accurate parts, prototypes and tooling. With microscopic layer resolution and accuracy down to 0.014 mm, it can produce thin walls and complex geometries using the widest range of materials available with any technology.

Stereolithograph

Stereolithography (SLA) is a form of 3D printing technology used for creating models, prototypes, patterns, and production parts in a layer by layer fashion using photochemical processes to form polymers.

Metal 3D Printing

Metal 3D Printing is a laser-based technology that uses powdered metals. Similar to Laser Sintering, a high-powered laser selectively binds together particles on the powder bed while the machine distributes even layers of metallic powder.

Materials

Materials | PPSF
PPSU (also known as PPSF) offers elevated properties compared with commodity plastics. It is stronger than polycarbonate but its more notable features include heat and chemical resistance.
Materials | RGD720
The rigid PolyJet material is ideal for concept modeling and design verification of clear and tinted parts such as glass consumer products, eyewear, light covers and medical devices.
Materials | Somos BioClear
Somos® BioClear is a highly accurate stereolithography material designed for precise dental and medical applications that need the assurance of biocompatibility.
Materials | Somos Element
Somos® Element is an SL resin specifically designed for 3D printed investment casting patterns.
Materials | Somos PerFORM
Somos® PerFORM SL resin possesses excellent thermal and mechanical properties, making it well-suited for high-requirement, rapid-tooling applications like injection molds and composite lay-up tools.
Materials | ST-130
ST-130 is a soluble 3D printing material. It’s main use is for making sacrificial 3D printed composite tools for hollow core parts like tubes, manifolds and ducts.
