PROTOTYPES

Prototyping is an essential stage in the development process of a new project. Our technologies, materials, and know-how allow us to create components with the characteristics you are looking for:
  • mechanical strength
  • thermal resistance
  • aesthetic finish
  • dimensional tolerances

SERIAL PRODUCTION

We can produce hundreds of components in a few days using additive technology.
  • production of complex geometries, impossible with traditional methods
  • reduced delivery times
  • highly customized components
  • no tooling costs
  • inventory reduction

OUR TECHNOLOGIES

SLS

Laser sintering is the most versatile 3D printing technology and the most widely used to build functional prototypes and produce final components. This technology does not require support structures and provides total freedom in terms of shapes and complexity of the parts. Hundreds of small parts can be produced in a single machine cycle.

Materials

  • PA12
  • PAGF (PA12 glass-filled)
  • PAFC (Food Contact)

Finishes

  • Color Dyeing
  • Vibro-finishing (mechanical smoothing)
  • Painting
  • Waterproof Resin Coating

advantages

  • Complex geometries – no supports
  • Functional prototypes
  • End-use components
  • Optimization of time and costs
  • Serial production

SLA

Stereolithography is based on the polymerization of resins through the effect of light. It allows for the production of parts with a very high surface quality in a short amount of time. Through post-production, it is possible to create aesthetic components with a high degree of transparency.

Materials

  • ABS-like resins
  • PP-like resins
  • Flexible resins
  • Transparent resins

Finishes

  • Sanding
  • Painting
  • “Glass effect” polishing

advantages

  • Excellent surface finish
  • Well-defined details
  • Transparency
  • High aesthetic results

FDM

This technology employs thermoplastic filament, deposited on a printing bed by a nozzle. There is a wide range of materials available. It allows for the production of very large components in a single piece.

Materials

  • ABS
  • ASA
  • TPU
  • PET-G
  • PLA

Finishes

  • Removal of supports (standard)
  • Aesthetic paint
  • Glueing

advantages

  • Large size parts
  • Variety of materials
  • Production speed
  • Functional prototypes

vacuum casting

The vacuum casting process consists in creating a rapid silicone mold, obtained by taking an impression of a master model. The equipment created is then used to mold the required parts, typically using a two-component polyurethane. Both the mold creation and the polyurethane casting must take place under vacuum to ensure the excellent mechanical resistance and surface finish characteristics typical of this technology.

Materials

  • Rigid polyurethane resins
  • Flexible polyurethane resins
  • Silicones

Finishes

  • Aesthetic paint
  • Assembly of threaded inserts

advantages

  • High aesthetic quality
  • Excellent mechanical characteristics
  • Large dimensions
  • Rapidity
