3D rapid prototype printing
Simply 3D is offering 3D printing as a ‘fast and cost-effective’ form of rapid prototyping.
The process uses technology from inkjet desktop printers to produce durable plastic working models from a customer’s 3D design CAD data.
Said to be inexpensive and quick to create, the models are made from ABS plastic that, claims the company, is tough enough to be used in working parts.
Features and benefits of 3D rapid prototyping printing service
- Models have pieces that snap or fit together
- ABS plastic allows a user to build durable and functional prototypes that can withstand rigorous testing
- Models won’t warp, shrink or absorb moisture
- The models can be drilled, tapped, sanded and painted
- All copyright and intellectual property belongs to the customer
- Models can be used in vacuum-forming applications in the automotive industry for trim pieces and a variety of interior components and plastic glasses
- Simply 3D claims that design and manufacturing costs can be significantly reduced
