Prototyping Technologies
Because we understand how modern production processes work, we can support you at all stages of your product development cycle with a range of prototyping technologies.
From our fully equipped, modern prototyping bureau facility in Royston, Hertfordshire, we offer comprehensive end-to-end technologies such as: rapid prototyping services, additive manufacturing, CNC machining, vacuum casting and model making solutions to cater for every requirement.
We put quality, speed and service at the heart of everything we do and ensure we use the latest technologies.
Your parts. Your process.
We offer a range of 3D printing technologies as well as CNC milling & machining, vacuum casting and model making.
- CNC – Computer Numerical Control Milling (4 Axis) & Turning
- Vacuum Casting
- Laser Cutting
- Model Making
Your parts. Your speed.
Depending on exact specifications, we can fulfil most rapid prototyping part requirements using our 3D Printing facilities parts on a next day basis, with no compromise on quality or integrity. CNC machined parts can be dispatched in 3 working days with our Express service level. Take a look at our service levels below.
3D Printing – Finishing
Get the most from our 3D printing technologies with our range of different finishing options, which includes dyeing and texturing.
SLS dyeing
We offer a consistent and repeatable SLS dyeing service, using our ‘Print-to-Product’ workflow. SLS parts can be precision dyed in virtually any colour.
In addition to SLS dyeing, all models can be spray painted.
SLS/SLA texturing
Using our specialist graining process, SLS and SLA parts can be textured, giving them an ‘Off Tool’ look, such as leather or other natural materials.
It is also possible to apply surface texturing to Figure 4 parts.
