Rapid 3D prototyping in New Zealand is becoming a viable option for many prototyping applications.There are a multitude of materials and methods for achieving great aesthetic results and dimensionally accurate models. 3Design offers a full array of methods and materials for your 3Dprinting needs.
FDM (Fused deposit modelling)
FDM is an additives' manufacturing process where plastic filament is heated and extruded through a nozzle. This extruded plastic is precisely placed layer upon layer to create a 3 dimensional model. With a large amount of materials available such as ABS, PLA, polycarbonate, polyamides, polystyrene, lignin, among many others, there are different trade-offs between strength and temperature properties.
Prototyping with materials like PLA can be used for lost-wax (investment) castings. Reducing mould manufacturing time by creating accurate models with the tree assembly in one process, removing the need to create individual art moulds getting your product to the market quicker with reduced cost. PLA is rigid and aesthetically smooth making it great for small end parts and prototype components that must not flex.
ABS plastic has great strength and flexibility for creating working prototypes. It has good impact strength and is dimensionally very accurate.
Maximum dimensions available: 508mm x 508mm x 457mm
