CJP (COLOR-JET) 3D PRINTING

An inkjet technology that has been adapted for use in three-dimensional use. Optimal for Volumetric models. Models fabricated from a gypsum powder, colored by fluid ink, and requires additional time to dry and cure. Limited handling recommended given the material’s fragility.

MJF (Multi Jet Fusion) 3D PRINTING

An inkjet technology that has been adapted for use in three-dimensional use. Optimal for Ribbon, Ball-and-Stick models. Models fabricated from a nylon powder, colored by fluid ink, and requires additional time to dry and cure. Durable models ideal for frequent handling.

SLA (STEREOLITHOGRAPHY) 3D PRINTING

A form of 3D printing technology that builds parts in a layer by layer fashion using photopolymerization, a process by which light causes chains of molecules to link, forming polymers of varying transparency that can be colored using CMYK color space. Optimal for Hybrid models where a transparent Volumetric surface encases internal Ribbon or Ball-and-Stick structures.

DMLS (DIRECT METAL LASER SINTERING) 3D PRINTING

DMLS is an additive manufacturing technology that builds high quality complex metal parts from 3D CAD data. In the machine, a high precision laser is directed to metal powder particles to selectively build up thin horizontal metal layers one after the other. Optimal for Ribbon or Ball-and-Stick models.

Acrylic Plastic

Mutli-color Assembly

High Volume Runs

Increased Durability

Affordable for large scale production

 

 

INJECTION MOLDING

A manufacturing process for producing parts by injecting molten material into a mold. Injection molding can be performed with a host of materials. High-volume runs result with decreasing unit costs of each model. Bulk discounts available.
