Selective laser melting

The production of prototypes made from metal and plastic material in the area of functional devices is an economical alternative to the up to now used manufacturing methods such as spark erosion and high-speed milling.
The machine constructs the parts by bonding metal in powder form layer by layer with a laser beam. The only things needed are 3D-CAD data. This operation is especially suitable for work pieces with a complex geometry.


Stereolithography

Stereolithography is one of the most detailed prototyping methods on the market. A model made of liquid resin is being formed and hardened in layers by a laser beam. The fabrication of one or more parts at the same time is usually accomplished by CAD-data.


3D-Print

3D-CAD-data is prepared for the printing process by special software. Digital properties are allocated to the 3D-data. The print stocks different acrylates and supporting material. Therefore different shore hardness and colours can be combined in any way wanted and as it were digitally mixed.
Based on the extremely thin layers of 0.016mm with a resolution of 600dpi the PolyJet-Matrix-Technology is currently the most accurate form of rapid prototyping.
