Technologies and Materials

Rapid prototyping (RP) technology quickly fabricates complex geometry models starting from measuring the physical part with a mathematical form on a 3D CAD model. Rapid Prototyping is normally used after designing and before manufacturing. Spring technology and materials allow instead to develop and produce an unlimited number of possibilities.

Rapid prototyping applications:

Concept models
Parts for fit and dimension testing
Building of molds and fixtures
Exhibition parts and materials
End-use products

FDM, Fused Deposition Modeling technology is a powerful Stratasys-patented Additive Manufacturing method. Parts built with this system can withstand heat, chemicals, humid or dry environments and mechanical stress.

Polyjet rapid prototyping 3D printing technology is an advanced Stratasys-patented additive manufacturing method. 3D printers with PolyJet technology print 16-micron layers with accuracy as high as 0.1 mm for smooth surfaces, thin walls, complex shapes and end-use parts that fully match the characteristics of the end product.

SLS Selective Laser Sintering parts can be used for assembly testing, fit and form testing and as end parts to monitor and maximize designs and developed products.

Stereolithography built parts feature a high fine finish and an accurate detail resolution. It is actually used to the building of micro-parts. In addition, SLA built parts are used as master models for silicon molding.

DMLS technology allows to manufacture prototypes and parts directly from metal without developing specific tooling. Parts and prototypes can be directly tested and used. The ability to develop high precision and accurate detail parts make DMLS technology useful also for the jewelry production industry. DMLS uses such materials as Titanium – Ti64 grade 5- that allow to produce medical and dental prosthesis.
