Our 3D printing technologies
We offer the following 3D printing services:
Carbon® Digital Light Synthesis™ (DLS)
The Carbon DLS™ Process is a resin-based additive manufacturing technology, ideal for creating smaller, high fidelity parts with complex geometries, isotropic properties, and excellent surface finishes.
HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)
HP MJF technology is a powder-bed additive manufacturing technology capable of delivering strong, durable parts for a variety of industrial end-uses.
Stratasys Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
A popular additive technology, FDM is capable of producing relatively low-cost parts with a variety of materials and finishing options.
Stereolithography (SLA)
A tried-and-tested prototype manufacturing process, SLA employs photopolymerization to produce parts with intricate, accurate detailing, and excellent surface finishes.
3D printing applications
The 3D printing process is used to create parts for use across the industrial landscape:
