We offer 3D printing in a range of materials including Onyx, PLA, Smooth TPU and Fibreglass.
Our fleet of professional printers are able to produce high quality, high strength, professional products.
3D printing is used in a diverse range of industries including Aerospace, Automotive, Education & Research, Medical, R&D, Industrial Equipment, and Electronic Manufacturing.
Classic Car Parts
For the production of classic car parts we have a Markforged Onyx Pro 3D printer, which can print layers as thin as 0.1mm. The material used is ‘Onyx‘ (see below) a specially manufactured material by Markforged that is oil-proof, UV-resistant, and suitable for temperatures up to 145℃, making it comfortably able to withstand under-bonnet temperatures.
Onyx
A micro carbon fibre-filled nylon that yields accurate parts with a near-flawless surface finish. It offers high strength, toughness, and chemical resistance when printed alone and can be reinforced with continuous fibres to produce parts with strength comparable to aluminium.
Typical applications include:
- Plastic Part Replacement
- Housings
- Sensor Mounts,
- Cosmetic Prototypes.
PLA
PLA is sometimes referred to as a ‘Hobbyist’ material. However, when used in our Professional print systems, PLA proves to be an easy-to-print plastic suitable for precision concept modelling and validation.
Typical applications include:
- Prototype Models
- Concept Models
Smooth TPU
Smooth TPU 95A is a rubber-like material that provides product developers and manufacturers with the ability to create flexible, impact-absorbent parts on demand.
Typical applications include:
- Seals and Gaskets
- Bumper, Buffers and Absorbers
- Protective Coverings
- Drivebelts
- Non-marking Work Holding Jigs
- Wheels and Treads
Fibreglass
Fiberglass is a material capable of producing parts that are 10 times stronger than ABS when incorporated into a composite base material, typically Onyx.
Typical applications include:
- Soft Jaws
- Medium Strength Tooling
- Insulative Reinforcement
- Hand Tools
