Complex geometry – While thermoforming and injection molding are limited in the angles and shapes produced, 3D printing can fabricate any kind of angle or shape.Highly customizable – Because the digital 3D model can be adjusted and altered, every item can be customized without impacting manufacturing costs.While we use thermoforming and injection molding to manufacture the majority of our plastics, we can also work with you to determine if additive manufacturing is the better method. This allows us to move onto the next steps, tooling and manufacture faster, providing you with a faster lead time and a lower overall cost! Choosing Additive Manufacturing Using a 3D printer makes the prototyping process less expensive and much faster than traditional methods. This guarantees you are satisfied with how the product will look and function in mass production, while our engineering team will have an accurate physical form for which to create tooling and molds. Our design team and production engineers bring the 3D model to life by creating a prototype, or a preliminary physical model, before the final manufacturing begins. We use 3D printing most often for product prototyping, which is an essential part of our manufacturing process whether your plastic components will be created using thermoforming or injection molding. Those layers are laid on top of one another, building the object from the surface up, until the plastic piece is complete. While it’s generally called 3D printing, the technical term is “additive manufacturing.” Unlike paper printing that rolls out at once, a 3D print is created by a machine laying down the thin, single layers that were “sliced” into the 3D model. This step is necessary in the printing process. Once the 3D model meets the necessary specifications, the digital file is prepared to be printed, also called “slicing.” Slicing means the 3d model is digitally divided into hundreds, or even thousands, of thin, horizontal layers. To print a three-dimensional object, our experienced team starts by designing a 3D model using computer-aided design, or CAD. In addition to being a leader in thermoforming and injection molding, we also provide 3D printing services. We know that in order to do this, it’s essential to understand the latest innovations and specialize in new technology.
