Looking to manufacture and need some advice on which solution to use?
If volumes are low, 3D printing services might be an option. Additive Engineering can help guide you on which 3D printer, 3D printing materials and 3D printing services. The team has worked extensively with plastic and metal technologies. For an instant quote estimate, we need the volume of your part and your choice of material.
What we excel in is to understand your requirement first before providing you with solutions.
Don’t have a 3D model? 3D CAD design, 3D scanning and 3D modelling are options depending on the complexity. Your 3D model may need fixing before the 3D printing process. Need precision with better surface finish quality for your plastic parts? SLS nylon without support structures could yield better results than the layer effect from fused deposition modeling plastic. Scaling up from one 3D printed object to production parts? Barring complex geometries and depending on volumes, CNC machining, injection molding are alternatives.
For your next manufacturing project and a professional 3D printing service, contact Additive Engineering today.
Every 3D printed model starts with a 3D design file. If you have an idea for a new design and have access a similar 3D object, 3D scanning to adjust a 3D model is usually faster for the first prototype, factor in additional 3D design time to make adjustments.
Not all 3D printers are created equal. There are nuances across 3D printing technology, materials and 3D printers. Just as not all SLS nylon have the same properties, it is even more so with metal 3D printing. Whether it is a large format or precision 3D printer, the Additive Engineering team has the expertise and access to production quality 3D printers.
Advanced manufacturing requires the use of innovative technology to improve products
Additive Engineering is a member of the Advanced Manufacturing Growth Centre (AMGC). Our team is experienced in rapid prototyping, conventional manufacturing for production parts such as CNC machining, injection moulding, vacuum casting and a range of 3D printing / additive manufacturing technologies that have been tried and tested in aerospace airworthy parts as well as medical devices.
Whether your requirements involve one prototype, transitioning from traditional manufacturing processes or 3D printing a complex lattice structure, the Additive Engineering team has the expertise in both traditional manufacturing methods and additive manufacturing processes to advise on the optimal manufacturing method for your parts.
To meet the stringent requirements of both medical, electronics and aerospace customers, the facility set up is modelled to manufacture parts in a clean-room environment with the objective to meet the highest standards as required by industries.
Additive Engineering utilises industry proven 3D printers such as EOS and GE Concept Laser printers to 3D print repeatable products with high surface quality and outputs the finest part structures. The Additive Engineering team can assist you in improving design for additive manufacturing in complex components that are too difficult and costly to manufacture using subtractive manufacturing methods.
Drawing on our extensive knowledge in materials from GE to our industry experience in the medical industry, we combine design, simulation, additive manufacturing, heat treatment, testing, sterilisation and packaging to ensure the complete part is delivered, ready to be used.
Materials we can additively manufacture include:
