The printers we use and how they work

Our range of 3D printers produce physical parts from 3D solid CAD models in a variety of materials such as ABS plastic, photo-cured Acetyl Resin and ProCast acrylic. The complexity of the design is not limited by the design process or the printing process so we can print sophisticated models that would otherwise be impossible to manufacture.

We are also not limited by the size of the model as we can incorporate this into the design and chemically bond smaller portions of the model to produce one large model. Using our high definition acrylic printer we can create master patterns that can be used for investment casting in a variety of metals. Below is a list of hardware we use:

The Stratasys F370 3D Printer

Highest capability and largest build size

Create complex, durable parts for low volume production as well as prototyping applications, manufacturing jigs, fixtures and tools.

The Stratasys F370 lets you print everything from fast, low-cost concept models to durable assemblies. And the Stratasys F370 gives the option of up to four different materials, along with our easy-to-remove soluble support material. Create complex parts and assemblies with no compromise on accuracy, detail and repeatability. Even for your earliest design iterations, you can expect Stratasys quality and dependability.

F370 3D Printer Specifications

• Maximum Build Size: 355 x 254 x 355 mm
• Model Materials: PLA*, ABS-M30™, ASA, PC-ABS, TPU 92A, QSR support material
• Layer Thickness: PLA (0.254mm), ABS, ASA & PC-ABS (0.330mm-0.127mm)
• Accuracy: Parts are produced within an accuracy of +/- .200 mm, or +/- .002 mm/mm, whichever is greater.

Produce Large and Complex Elastomer Parts

Create accurate elastomer parts quickly and efficiently with ease and reliability. The durable elasticity of FDM TPU 92A material makes it a good choice for a wide variety of applications including flexible hoses, tubes, air ducts and vibration dampeners.

PROJET 2500 Plus

Our new Projet 2500 Plus 3D Printer makes it possible to print even smaller features, down to 300 microns or finer with a typical accuracy of 0.1mm.

We can produce accurate, high-definition models, prototypes for proof of concept, functional testing and low volume production and ultra-high detail master patterns for mould making.

Attributes of the new materials available include toughness, high temperature resistance, durability, stability, water tightness, biocompatibility & flexibility with a smooth surface finish straight out of the machine. We also have an elastomer material available on request.

uPrint 3D Printer

The uPrint is a professional grade 3D printer from Stratasys that utilises ABSplus to produce high quality models and prototypes. The build volume is 20.3 x 15.2 x 15.2 cm for a single piece but with our CAD techniques we can produce models to any size.
