3D Printing process in rapid prototyping
what role is 3D Printing play in Rapid prototyping?
3D printing is an additive manufacture process to make a geometrical solid model under the digital 3D file, the process including plastic printing and metal printing is without any setup cost and tool cost. Compared to the subtractive manufacture process like CNC machining cutting and removing materials, 3D printing is to create the work piece by adding materials which saves materials
3D printing process as a production technology enables production to create models in less material than subtractive manufacture process, this process makes it all possible for any incredible designs even the hollow designs. 3D printing material options are from soft plastic to hard plastic, opaque plastic to Clear plastic, and Printing metal like Aluminum, Stainless steel.
Plastic 3D PRITING in both soft and hard material
What is the advantage of 3D Printing in Plastic material ?
Unlike Traditional plastic manufacturing techniques, 3D printing process in plastic material no need to have any setup cost like machining or mold cost like injection molding. This new additive fabrication technology process is in lower cost per unit on small- to medium-sized production runs, and in short production lead time with excellent test performance no matter the part is simple or complicate.
What kind of Plastic material and parts can 3D Printing make?
3D printed plastic parts material can be soft rubber or hard ABS , PA, resins, powders. This process makes all the possibles for the product with highly customizable and complex features produce in short schedules. 3D Printing process solves a lot of issues that traditional plastic manufacture way no able to solve, for example the soft pipes, tools, jigs and hollow fixtures. As one of the rapid prototype and rapid manufacturing process, 3D printing in plastic not only enables the fast testing prototype products, but also enables the end-use products manufacture.
3D Printing is a cost effective prototyping method for rapid made
Nowadays, the fast-paced modern economy requires products input to market fast but in less cost, 3D printing is one for the methods to improve the businesses’ competitive. Sandi rapid made offers 3D printed plastic products with lower cost than traditional manufacturing or molds, process choice will up to the product require and needs
Metal 3D PRINTING in rapid made technology
What is Metal 3D Printing ?
Metal 3D Printing is an additive manufacturing process uses a high-powered laser to melt and fuse the powder bead metal into 3D solid parts by layers. It is also known as Direct Metal Laser Melting (DMLM), and it is an effective way to make the complex metal products in accurate and fast.
what is the trend and material for Metal 3D printing ?
The same as plastic 3d printing, Metal 3D printing is a trend of revolutionary technology without any extra cost beside the material. Metal 3D printing prints strong models in whether easy or complicate features inside or out, solid or hollow. Some impossible feature in 3D data hard to be made by machining or other traditional metal process is easy to be made by metal 3D printing. Material options according to the needs are Aluminum alloy, Stainless steel 300 series, to Copper, Titanium even rare metal.
The application of Metal 3D printing
As the material in high temperature resistance, 3D printing metal process is broadly applied in aerospace, medical, automotive and other industries area. And the quick lead time, minimum material waste and lower design verify cost make metal 3D printing a widely used process in prototype and mechanical area.
