We use methods applied for industrial 3D printers and additive manufacturing 3D printing. By layers, the materials are deposited per digital 3D design data. “3D printing” is typically interchanged with the term “additive manufacturing”, however, additive manufacturing is a more appropriate term to differentiate professional manufacturing princess from conventional, subtractive manufacturing methods. To cite a specific scenario, additive manufacturing efficiently builds parts by layer from material supplied as a fine powder instead of producing a piece from a solid block via powdering. More so, the process allows the use of various plastics, metals, and composite materials.
Additive manufacturing 3D printing is a universal method that many areas and industries find widely beneficial. Whether the method is utilized for small or medium series, for building visual and functional prototypes, or for overall series production, many industries find it favorable. Essentially, it packs plenty of advantages you would otherwise miss in conventional methods. It is apparent how this can accelerate product development and market entry and achieve agile product customization and functional integration efficiently and at a more reasonable cost. With this, additive manufacturing can properly differentiate large OEM manufacturers from other industries when it comes to customer benefits, cost reduction potential, and sustainability targets.
How It Works – Additive Manufacturing in Detail
The process begins by adding a thin layer of powder material to the building platform. From there, the powder is lasered and melted at specific points marked by the computer-generated design data. Following this, another layer is added to the construction platform upon being lowered. Once again, the powder is melted and added to the layer below the specified points. This whole additive technique was invented more than 30 years ago. Since then, our company has continued to develop and perfect the process and materials, which are now used in many printing industries.
