Support for producing prototypes and small series parts, as well as repair of parts and spare parts where additive manufacturing is relevant to the task. We also offer large scale metal 3D printing.
Additive manufacturing & 3D
3D printing and additive manufacturing
Get support in additive manufacturing, testing, documentation and technical advice for prototypes, repairs, small series production and printed parts.
Businesses and private customers may need support when they want to have a component produced through additive manufacturing, assess whether a printed part meets specifications, requirements or standards, or clarify how additive manufacturing and 3D printing can be used in practice. The need often arises when developing prototypes, producing small series, repairing parts or extending component lifetime. Without documented insight into part quality and requirements, the basis for further use becomes unclear.
From idea to documented basis
The service is part of several additive manufacturing services, and provides a documented basis for decision making on how to apply additive manufacturing in practice without requiring the investment in an in-house facility. By combining technical evaluation and advice, we create a clear basis for determining how parts can be produced, repaired, documented or further developed.
Challenges
When considering additive manufacturing of parts, unclear requirements and undocumented performance can delay decisions and application.
Unclear material and method choice delays decisions
It can be difficult to choose the right material, method and print strategy for a given application. Without this clarification, development and part selection may continue on an uncertain basis.
Lack of quality blocks next steps
Printed parts may need to be assessed against specifications, requirements or standards. Without testing and documentation, hidden defects and mechanical limitations can remain unresolved.
Unclear needs create rework
Part geometry, support structures and design optimisation can affect whether a part is practical to produce and use. If these points are not clarified early, time and resources can be spent on unsuitable design choices.
Benefits
Get documented output and technical clarification to support decisions on additive manufacturing applications and printed parts.
Document part quality against stated requirements
Testing and documentation provide a technical basis for assessing printed parts against specifications, requirements, ISO standards, ASTM standards or other documented requirement bases relevant to the application.
Clarify materials, methods and design choices
Technical advice helps clarify material selection, method choice, print strategy, support structures and design optimisation, so decisions can be taken on a more informed basis.
Reduce the need for investment in own equipment
Makes it possible to assess additive manufacturing and produce selected parts without investing in your own additive manufacturing facility or 3D printing equipment.
