Our stereolithography equipment translates CAD designs into solid objects through a combination of laser, photochemistry and software technologies. The SL technologies offer excellent small feature definition and accuracy. Epoxy resin allows for rigidity and strength. Prototypes can be immediately used for initial analysis. The powder is melted, layer by layer, by a computer-directed heat laser.
Additional powder is deposited on top of each solidified layer and again sintered.
The plastic is laid down in layers which fuse together to form an ABS plastic part. This system can sometimes be more economical than laser-based systems. The FDM can also form nylon and investment casting wax parts, Because of its versatility in using these modeling materials, FDM can be used for producing small volume prototype parts without he need for tooling. Making multiple parts out of alternative materials is one of the many advantages of rapid tooling.
