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.
VXL Technologies helps Railex increase functionality and efficiency of garment conveyor system
By integrating 3D printing into both prototyping and production stages, VXL Technologies was able to reduce development time, increase product reliability, and save on costs for Railex by using transfer connections made on LC Magna.
“We were able to reduce development and production time significantly, to meet deadlines”

Cost effective and fast solution to component failure problem
Using LC Magna and Magna Hard Black resin, Wurtec were able to design, print, fit, release and produce nearly 800 components in 2 weeks, instead of months, with annual cost savings of over $43k! (The printing took 5 hours with 1 LC Magna).

Crack Eraser 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.
“The 3D Printing Store was invaluable in supporting us in development of this industry leading product through months of testing and refinement. We can’t thank the 3DPS enough for their outstanding support in the development of our industry leading 3D printed Drill Stop Collet™!”

1,000,000 3D Printed Part Order For Adhesives Technology
Merit3D, a leading additive manufacturing company, is producing 1,000,000 hangers for Adhesives Technology using 3D printing technology. The hangers are required for every project Adhesives’ undertakes, but the production process was halted due to the unavailability of the injection mold tool.
Merit3D’s solution helped Adhesives Technology eliminate the extra cost and wait time for delivery of a new tool and bring manufacturing back to the USA.
Adapt and Innovate with 3D Printing
As a manufacturer of equipment for laundry services, Girbau sought to improve the efficiency of their folding machines. In realising that the air flow of their folding machine was not optimal for the precision folding they needed, Girbau turned to 3D printing for the speed, efficiency, limitless design possibilities, and cost-effectiveness of this technology to create the single solution part they needed to optimise their folding machines.
“Sculpteo’s experts supported us throughout the printing process so we could go on and print the model with the best solution to match our challenges.”
