3D printing
3D printing enables creative approaches to be implemented haptically, to test and quickly realise products or projects through short iteration steps. This is called rapid prototyping.
Further advantages of 3D printing are the ability to realise special geometries and individual designs in the shortest possible time, which cannot be produced economically with conventional manufacturing processes.
mb3DEngineering has a wide variety of 3D printing processes available that correspond to the current state of the art. This helps us covering a broad scope of requirements in terms of accuracy, material properties and costs.
Almost all material properties and types can be used.
For instance:
-
Materials allowed fot food contact (FDA compliant)
-
Silicone
-
Fiber-reinforced materials (CFRP or GFRP)
-
Impact resistant materials (nylon, PP)
-
Rubbery materials (TPU)
-
Tribological materials (sliding properties, Iglidur)
-
Temperature resistant materials
-
Water soluble materials(PVA)
We will find the right material and process for your application.
