3D printing solutions

Industrial parts

To be successful at making parts, as opposed to prototypes, you need fast, cost-effective, reliable printing processes with functional resins.

Photocentric’ s LCD technology enables lots of parts to be printed very quickly. Our software and design for Additive skills enable the parts to be designed for mass-manufacture.

Our resins deliver functional parts that will last for decades in industrial applications.

Solving solves windshield repair woes with Photocentric LC Magna

The 3D Printing Store (3DPS) has used Photocentric’s LC Magna to manufacture a custom drill collet, making windshield repair easier and more efficient than ever before. Photocentric partner 3DPS was approached by Tim Evans and his company Crack Eraser – which helps other entrepreneurs start their own auto glass repair businesses – to develop a part for its repair kit system.

The proprietary technology has helped Crack Eraser to solve the most challenging aspect of windshield repair, that of drilling into the top layer of laminated windshield glass at the point of impact where damage occurred.

1,000,000 3D Printed Part Order For Adhesives Technology

Merit3D, empresa líder en fabricación aditiva, está produciendo 1.000.000 de perchas para Adhesives Technology mediante tecnología de impresión 3D. Las perchas son necesarias para cada proyecto que emprende Adhesives', pero el proceso de producción se detuvo debido a la falta de disponibilidad de la herramienta de moldeo por inyección.

La solución de Merit3D ayudó a Adhesives Technology a eliminar el coste adicional y el tiempo de espera para la entrega de una nueva herramienta y a devolver la fabricación a Estados Unidos.

Adaptarse e innovar con la impresión 3D

Como fabricante de equipos para servicios de lavandería, Girbau buscaba mejorar la eficiencia de sus plegadoras. Al darse cuenta de que el flujo de aire de su plegadora no era óptimo para el plegado de precisión que necesitaban, Girbau recurrió a la impresión 3D por la velocidad, la eficiencia, las posibilidades de diseño ilimitadas y la rentabilidad de esta tecnología para crear la pieza de solución única que necesitaban para optimizar sus plegadoras.

"Los expertos de Sculpteo nos apoyaron durante todo el proceso de impresión para que pudiéramos seguir adelante e imprimir el modelo con la mejor solución que se ajustara a nuestros retos".
