prototype manufacturing
Establishment of a prototyping service
This new service aims to :
- Optimizing project development
- Quickly validate concepts
- Reduce risks before production
Mechanical spare parts can also be produced.
What is stereolithography?
Stereolithography (SLA) is a 3D printing technique that uses UV light to solidify a photosensitive liquid resin layer by layer.
- An LCD screen acts as a mask, allowing UV light only to pass through the resin tray to the areas to be cured.
- The resin hardens on contact with UV light on localized areas (it polymerizes).
- Once the layer is complete, the platform rises slightly and a new layer of resin is solidified.
- This process is repeated until the object is complete.
Type of parts :
- Prototype parts: Prototype parts designed in CAD by the design department. This stage validates the design and allows you to visualize your product in 3 dimensions before it goes into production.
- Mechanical / technical parts: Production of complex parts with high precision and mechanical strength.
- Soft parts: Production of soft/flexible parts, enabling us to simulate the behavior of certain soft materials.
Prototype mold: Rapid production of small prototype molds capable of producing a limited number of parts, particularly for thermoforming trials.
Resin types :
- Standard resin: For low-cost printing of standard parts. Several colors available.
- Resin clear: For parts requiring a transparent appearance and excellent visual clarity.
- Technical resin: For printing parts requiring good mechanical properties and temperature resistance.
- Flexible resin: For parts requiring flexibility, able to deform without breaking.
