Accelerate Product Developmentwith Industrial 3D Printing

Stereolithography (SLA) with high-definition resins produces concept models with exceptional surface quality for color, material, and finish (CMF) validation studies. Multiple resin formulations simulate various material properties from rigid engineering plastics to flexible elastomers. Surface finish options include textured, polished, and painted applications with professional appearance suitable for client presentations and user research. Rapid turnaround enables multiple design iterations within single-day cycles supporting agile development methodologies.

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) technology produces mechanical assemblies with precise dimensional control and excellent surface finish for functional testing and validation. PA12 nylon material properties enable snap-fit mechanisms, threaded connections, and bearing surfaces that perform comparably to injection-molded components. Integrated assembly features eliminate secondary operations while maintaining clearances as tight as 0.5mm for moving parts. Heat-set insert compatibility and post-machining options provide production-ready fastening solutions for prototype assemblies.

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) with maximum build volume (914 x 609 x 914mm) accommodates full-scale prototyping of outdoor gear, sports equipment, and mobility products. Engineering thermoplastics including carbon fiber reinforced nylon provide structural performance suitable for load testing and real-world validation. ASA materials offer UV stability and weather resistance for outdoor applications requiring extended environmental exposure. Large parts can be sectioned and assembled using integrated joinery features for products exceeding build volume constraints.

Stereolithography (SLA) and selective laser sintering (SLS) technologies produce electronics housings with precise component fitment and professional surface finish. SLA tolerances (±0.2mm achievable) ensure accurate PCB mounting, connector alignment, and button clearances critical for functional electronics assemblies. Material options include clear resins for LED diffusion, conductive formulations for EMI shielding, and flexible TPU for wearable interfaces. Integrated features like snap-fits, cable management, and heat-staking posts eliminate assembly complexity while maintaining professional appearance suitable for user testing and demonstration.

Digital manufacturing enables seamless scaling from prototype validation through pilot production volumes without tooling investment or long-term commitments. Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and selective laser sintering (SLS) provide consistent part quality across production batches with statistical process control for dimensional verification. Batch sizes from 10 to 1,000+ units support market testing, investor demonstrations, and limited product launches. Quality documentation includes dimensional reports, material certificates, and batch traceability required for commercial validation and early-market feedback programs.
