:: Prototyping and Pre-Production
QuickCut™ CNC Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machining is a subtractive manufacturing method in which unwanted material, usually metal or plastic, is cut from primary stock to form the needed part.
CNC machining is a great fit for manufacturing low and high quantities of parts that require a very specific material.
Quick Sheet Metal™ Parts Sheet metal parts are produced using laser cutting, water jet or chemical etching processes to form blanks from sheet metal stock. Blanks are then bent to shape using press brakes or quick custom tooling to form the final geometry.
Geometries can include gussets, contouring, embossing and pierced features, and parts can be made functional by adding any PEM or other hardware.
QuickMold™ ToolingQuickMold Tooling is the process of forming a part by injecting plastic into an aluminum or steel mold.
QuickMold Tooling is fantastic for low- and high-volume part manufacturing in industries like automotive, construction and consumer products.
Key Features: Wide range of materials, ability to hold tight tolerances, parts machined directly from 3D CAD models.
Lead Time: 6-8 days
Key Features: Wide range of metals available, tolerances comparable to die tooling.
Lead Time: 5-10 days
Key Features: High production rates, and wide variety of materials and finishes.
Lead Time: 10-20 days
:: Tooling and Production
QuickMetal™ Plaster Mold Casting
Plaster mold casting is a process in which molten low-melt alloys, like aluminum or zinc, are poured into a single-use plaster mold that was created from a reusable SLA or machined master pattern.
QuickMetal plaster mold casting is great for low-volume production parts or metal prototypes.
Injection Mold Tooling
Injection mold tooling is the process of building a steel, multi-cavity production tool for injection molds. Each tool is produced to your standards and specifications.
Injection mold tooling is great for high-volume manufacturing.
Direct Metal Printing (DMP)
Direct Metal Printing is an additive process that builds up fully dense, chemically pure metal parts by melting fine powder with a laser beam, layer by layer. DMP is opposite of the traditional subtractive process of machining where material is milled away from a solid billet block of metal.
DMP is perfect for complex metal parts that need to be manufactured quickly, accurately and with no costly and time consuming tooling.
Key Features: Exposes design flaws before expensive production tooling, secondary machining operations can be performed on cast metal part, including heat treatment, machining, chemical film, chromate conver-sion, paint, special finishes and assembly.
Lead Time: 3-5 weeks
Key Features: All major tooling components, pilot and short-run production available upon completion of tooling, in-house tool trial capabilities.
Lead Time: 4-6 weeks
Key Features: Wide range of metals and alloys, increased part accuracy, surface finish and feature detail resolution, improved part functionality through freedom in design, fully dense parts with superior mechanical properties, no tooling required.
Lead Time: 1-3 weeks
:: Investment Casting Patterns
QuickCast® PatternsQuickCast is an SLA build style that creates hollow direct patterns for investment casting. Hexagonal support structures add strength, allow for easy drainage and facilitate collapse of the pattern during thermal expansion.
ProJet® Wax PatternsProJet wax patterns are high-definition wax patterns created on 3D Systems ProJet 3D printers and used for direct investment casting.
CastForm™ Patterns Utilizing 3D Systems CastForm™ PS material, patterns are 3D printed for use in the metal casting processes.
CastForm patterns are best for automotive and machine components that do not demand a fine surface finish.
Key Features: Provides invaluable shrink and gating information prior to hard tooling, large pattern size, smooth surfaces, faster than using tooling to create wax patterns.
Key Features: High definition, quick lead time, range of finishes and resolutions.
Key Features: Shrinks in autoclave, reduced casting failure, easy processing.
:: Prototyping and Pre-Production
Stereolithography (SLA®) SLA is an additive manufacturing process in which a UV laser traces a cross section of the part onto a vat of UV-curable liquid photopolymer resin, hardening the resin. Each successive cross section is traced onto the resin, and the part builds up layer by layer.
SLA is great for concept models, rapid prototypes, master patterns, snap fit assemblies, form-and-fit testing and tradeshow models.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS®) SLS is an additive manufacturing method in which a laser bonds small grains of material, creating cross sections of the required part layer by layer.
SLS is a perfect option for functional testing, rapid prototyping, low-volume manufacturing, and high-heat and chemically resistant applications.
SLS produces parts in nylon-based materials that can include filler such as glass fiber or carbon to accomplish the functional goals of your parts.
Key Features: Smooth surface finish, high precision, shorter lead time, a wide variety of material and post-processing options.
Lead Time: same day, next day, or choose the ship date
Key Features: Great part durability, capable of producing highly complex geometries, snap fits and living hinges.
Lead Time: next day or standard (3-5 days)
ColorJet Printing (CJP) CJP is an additive manufacturing technology in which core material is spread in thin layers over a build platform. Color binder is then selectively jetted over every layer of core material, and the part builds one layer at a time.
CJP is perfect for creating full-color concept models, architectural models and demonstration models.
MultiJet Printing (MJP) MJP is an additive manufacturing method in which UV bulbs fully cure layer upon layer of super-fine, UV-curable acrylic plastics.
MJP is excellent for form-and-fit testing, show models, concept models, direct casting patterns and rapid prototyping.
Key Features: Wide range of colors, quick production time, and parts can be hard or wax coated for smooth finish.
Lead Time: 5-7 days
Key Features: High resolution, can be painted, machined, drilled or chrome plated, wide range of applications.
Lead Time: 3-5 days
Plastic Jet Printing (PJP) PJP is a solid-based additive manufacturing process that uses a heated extrusion nozzle to melt plastic filament and lay it down layer by layer until the part is complete.
PJP works great for concept models, engineering models, functional testing, consumer products, high-heat applications and initial prototypes.
QuickPlastic™ PartsQuickPlastic is the process of using silicone molds, created from a master pattern, to create molded urethane parts.
QuickPlastic works great for pre-production runs, marketing samples, test prototypes and low-volume manufacturing.
Urethane parts can be cast in color or texture to beautifully simulate the cosmetic look of your parts in a wide variety of production-like materials.
Key Features: High strength, wide variety of materials, including production-quality ABS and food-grade ABS.
Lead Time: 3-5 days
Key Features: Wide range of materials, great simulation of injection-molded parts, and low tooling cost.
Lead Time: 6-9 days for first articles, parts produced at 2-4 per day
