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, azienda leader nella produzione additiva, sta producendo 1.000.000 di grucce per Adhesives Technology utilizzando la tecnologia di stampa 3D. Le grucce sono necessarie per ogni progetto di Adhesives, ma il processo di produzione è stato interrotto a causa dell'indisponibilità dello strumento di stampaggio a iniezione.

La soluzione di Merit3D ha aiutato Adhesives Technology a eliminare i costi aggiuntivi e i tempi di attesa per la consegna di un nuovo strumento e a riportare la produzione negli Stati Uniti.

Adattarsi e innovare con la stampa 3D

In qualità di produttore di attrezzature per i servizi di lavanderia, Girbau ha cercato di migliorare l'efficienza delle proprie macchine piegatrici. Rendendosi conto che il flusso d'aria della loro piegatrice non era ottimale per la precisione di piegatura richiesta, Girbau si è rivolta alla stampa 3D per la velocità, l'efficienza, le possibilità di progettazione illimitate e l'economicità di questa tecnologia per creare il pezzo unico di cui avevano bisogno per ottimizzare le loro piegatrici.

"Gli esperti di Sculpteo ci hanno supportato durante tutto il processo di stampa, in modo da poter procedere alla stampa del modello con la soluzione migliore per le nostre sfide."
