StereoLithography Apparatus (SLA)

StereoLithography Apparatus (SLA) is the world’s first Rapid Prototyping machine invented by 3D Systems, USA in 1986. The breakthrough technology enables the creation of a solid object directly from a solid CAD data without the need of NC programming or tooling.

In much the same way we photocopy a 2D data using a photocopy machine. For this reason RP technology is sometimes called 3D printer – or desktop manufacturing.

Z Corporation

The Z Corp Spectrum Rapid Prototyping machine produces high-definition, full-colour prototypes quickly. Superior inkjet printing technology creates parts with crisply defined features, enhanced accuracy, and precise colour.

This unique, 24-bit colour, 3D printing capability produces colour models that accurately reflect your original design data. Colour models communicate more information than any other type of rapid prototype, providing you with a strategic advantage in product development.

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)

The Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) fused deposition model process is additive which extrudes material in layers. A plastic filament is melted and extruded through a heated nozzle. The nozzle moves to produce a profile of the part then moves down and the next layer is built on top until the entire prototype model is fully built.

FDM is an excellent choice for any 3D Model that needs to closely represent the final product in strength and durability. CAD Models can be produced within 24 hours depending on the size and complexity.
