[Let’s change the way things are made] Blend together traditional methods with cutting edge technology
Capabilities
Low Run Injection Molding (L-RIM)
Injection molding is the process where you heat up materials (usually in pellet form) and then inject this molten material into a cavity to form your part. Many low-temperature materials are available using our L-RIM technique and work best parts the size of a cell phone or smaller. Through our innovative techniques, we are reducing the traditional costs, constraints, and quantities found today in injection molding. For more information on low run injection molding, read our “Low Count and Rapid Injection (over)Molding” case study to learn more!
FDM Printing
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printing is the process by which plastic goes through a heat change to allow it to be laid down layer by layer and cools to allow a 3D model to be built. These parts usually have a coarse surface finish but the material library is extensive. Parts can only be produced one at a time so it is great for one-off or small-run manufacturing.
Casting
Casting is the process where a material that is in liquid state is poured into a cavity and left there until it solidifies. A lot of times, some form of mold release is required if the mold is the be reused again. For more information on casting, read our “XXX” case study to learn more!
SLA Printing
SLA (Stereolithography) printing is the process by which a UV laser solidifies UV-curable resin one micro point at a time. The part produced by this technology can accommodate small features, tight tolerances, and a high surface finish. This process is slower than our other resin printing manufacturing (LCD Printing) but the quality and surface finish is much higher.
LCD Printing
LCD printing is similar to SLA except it produces a UV light using an array of LEDs and then that light is passed through an LCD screen. This screen controls which area lights up and cures the resin in that area. These become the layers that make up your print. For more information on LCD printing, read our “XXX” case study to learn more!
