Strong, durable thermoplastic components
Industrial-grade Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) delivers robust, precise thermoplastic parts quickly. Material choices range from ABS, Diran, Durus, Nylon, TPU, Ultem, and more, plus clear and biocompatible properties. Wide-format FDM is applicable to both prototyping and production-grade parts giving customers a wide array of options for materials.
Other Services We Offer
SELECTIVE LASER SINTERING
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is best used in applications that require durable, low volume prototype or production parts. It is a great solution for geometries that contain internal features.
DIGITAL LIGHT PROCESSING
Digital Light Processing (DLP) refers to a method of printing that makes use of light and photosensitive polymers. In most forms of DLP, each layer of the desired structure is projected onto a vat of liquid resin that is then solidified layer by layer as the buildplate moves up or down. As the process creates each layer successively, it is quicker than most forms of 3D printing.
STEREOLITHOGRAPHY
Stereolithography (SL, SLA) has a faster print time than FDM and SLS, and it is often the most accurate printing method available due to the precision achievable with a laser. A great solution for Rapid Prototyping, Concept Models, and Investment Casting Patterns.
DIRECT METAL LASER SINTERING
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) can create fully dense 3D printed metal parts in a number of alloys. Advantages are reduced weight, simplified assemblies and increased functionalities.
INJECTION MOLDING
Through a partnership with Gavco Plastics, Rapid Application Group delivers end-to-end manufacturing solutions that scale to fit your needs – from prototyping, Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) using additive, through to mass production with injection molding.
