In addition to state-of-the-art bending and welding departments, we offer laser cutting as well as a traditional turret department. We can also meet your milling and lathing.... read more
Complexicities of Rapid Prototying
as aired on CNBC and Fox Business News
Nearly all types of rapid prototyping is done through stereolithography. Because of stereolithography's high-resolution finish, smooth texture and high quality, it finds broad applications in virtually all industries, specially the automotive, aero-space and the medical field. In a working environment where time is money, an SLA part can be created within a day, adding to stereolithography's increasing appeal...read more
3D Printing
Z Corp uses an ink-jet based process that prints the 3D part's cross sectional geometry on layers of powder spread on top of each other. Powder is frist spread over the surface of the 'bild position'. Using the inkjet print head, the Z Corp printer sprays a binding solution onto the powder in the shape of the first cross section of the CAD model. The build piston lowers one layer and more powder is spread using the spreading apparatus... read more
