Additive Manufacturing: Rapid Prototyping / 3D Printing
Processes
-
Additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM) is the process of generating a part layer by layer until the desired net shape is achieved.
This process is most renowned for its ability to generate complex internal geometries that can not be achieved through conventional methods like casting and machining.
Additionally, there can be a substantial reduction in waste since you only use the amount of material needed to create the part.
Waste can be reduced further by designing for AM upfront. Part geometries can be adjusted around certain design rules to minimize support structures and post processing.

Prototypes
We like to say “Fail Fast” because it is important to iterate through designs quickly to achieve your project goals.
We can provide tangible models for mockup, test fitting, presentations, and client approval.
-
Functional Parts
We can provide end use parts at a fraction of the cost compared to large scale manufacturing methods.
Additionally, with no upfront tooling costs or long lead times, we can iterate quickly to meet changing design specification or customer requirements in real time.
From a one-off part to productions batches ranging from dozens to thousands of pieces, we have you covered.
-
Scale Models
We can generate scale models of your larger projects for customer presentations or promotions.
-
Tooling Fixtures, Jigs, Molds
We can create work holding fixtures, assembly jigs, and molds for your current or future projects to facilitate a lean manufacturing environment.
-
Artistic & Maker Tools
We can help envision new tools for makers and artists
Ceramic / pottery stamps to sign your work or create new designs.
Leather tooling for embossing / debossing logos and designs.
Custom blocks for print making.
Stamping and forming dies for light metal work
Routing templates for wood working
-
Branding
Custom branding can be incorporated into your design so your products can be easily identifiable.
Promotional branded products can be created to advertise your business at trade shows and events, or as gifts.
Branded stamps can be used for low-cost custom packaging.
