Stereolithography

Project Background:A medical device manufacturer needed to develop functional prototypes of specialized surgical instruments for early-stage testing and FDA compliance checks.

Challenge: Rapid turnaround was essential for testing prototypes before full-scale production, with a focus on ensuring that they adhered to medical regulations for safety and functionality.

Solution: Leveraging SLA, we created prototypes with exceptional accuracy and fine details. The biocompatible materials ensured regulatory compliance, allowing the prototypes to be tested in real-world medical environments.

Results: The SLA prototypes were delivered quickly and met all testing criteria, which accelerated the regulatory approval process and supported a seamless transition into large-scale production.

Project Background:An aerospace contractor required prototypes for aircraft engine components with highly intricate designs and strict performance requirements.

Challenge: The components had to be lightweight yet strong, with complex geometries that could not be achieved using traditional manufacturing methods.

Solution: SLA technology was used to produce prototypes with precise geometries, using materials that met the stringent performance and weight criteria required by the aerospace industry. The advanced surface finishes also minimized the need for post-processing.

Results: The prototypes were rigorously tested for functionality and integration, contributing to the rapid development of new aircraft engine components with superior performance.

Project Background:A consumer electronics company sought to prototype a series of new smart home devices that required a balance of functional and aesthetic design.

Challenge: The devices needed prototypes that could accommodate precise internal component placements while maintaining a sleek, modern exterior. Fast prototyping was essential for timely market testing.

Solution: Using SLA, we quickly produced detailed and functional prototypes that accurately represented the design’s form and function. This allowed for efficient testing of both internal layouts and visual appeal, with minimal lead time.

Results: The SLA prototypes facilitated seamless testing, quick iterations, and fine-tuning, enabling the customer to launch the product on schedule and receive positive market feedback.

Project Background:A machinery manufacturer needed custom components for an industrial machine that required high durability and intricate design for optimal functionality.

Challenge: The challenge was to produce parts that could endure heavy-duty use without sacrificing precision, while also allowing for quick prototype revisions to meet operational needs.

Solution: We used SLA to create highly detailed and durable prototypes that allowed the customer to test functionality in real-world operational conditions. The parts were produced quickly, enabling multiple design adjustments during the development cycle.

Results: The prototypes led to design enhancements that improved the overall performance and reliability of the machinery, which translated into reduced operational downtime and higher efficiency.

Project Background:An art and design studio needed a variety of detailed models for a new installation, requiring precision and artistic flair to showcase intricate design details.

Challenge: The studio needed highly accurate models that could reflect every artistic detail, with smooth surfaces for aesthetic presentations to clients.

Solution: SLA was utilized to produce extremely detailed models with sharp precision and clean finishes, showcasing the true design vision. This provided the studio with the tools to create a stronger impression in their client presentations.

Results: The models were a hit in client meetings, enabling the studio to win new contracts and establish its reputation for producing impeccable, high-quality designs.
