3D Rapid Prototyping & Digital Fabrication
About 3D rapid prototyping/3D printing – additive processes:
- creating a physical 3D model from a 3D data file
- machines lay down thin layers - layer upon layer
- various materials & processes, mainly plastic resins & metals
- quick & accurate digital models
- models can be post-processed – sanding, polishing, painting, bonding etc
3D TECH can create CAD files from scratch using your existing drawings, plans and ideas. From these we can supply printed models in a wide range of rapid prototyping materials and processes - including colour models, flexible rubber parts and even metals!
Output models in various materials direct from CAD
Colour models printed on ZCorporation colour printer
*Please contact us if you are interested in purchasing a ZCorporation colour 3D printer.
About 3D digital fabrication – subtractive processes:
- computer numerically controlled (CNC) processing of various materials
- multi-axis milling & drilling 3D shapes (x,y,z)
- laser cut profiles (x,y)
- water jet cut profiles (x,y)
- electrical discharge machining (EDM) (x,y)
3D TECH can create CAD files that can be used for CNC machining of various sheet and solid materials, particuluarly laser cutting acrylic sheet (e.g. Perspex) and multi-axis shaping of foamed plastics & polystyrene.
