Rapid prototyping
FDM
High speed in the development process is a must, and we are constantly looking for new machines and techniques to help us speed up the process. In July 2002 we invested in a new prototype machine, Stratasys Titan, Using the Stratasys Titan FDM machine in the development process, makes it possible for us to build functional prototypes in different materials (ABS, PC, PPSF). This way we get quick results from our 3D files, and we can easily do physical tests to prove that we're on the right track, and sort out errors in an early stage, which is time and cost effective!
The FDM creates models using high performance engineering materials. Now with the Titan, we can create prototypes that needs impact strength, resistance against heat and corrosive agents such as oils, gasoline and even acids. The PPSF material is heat resistant up to 200°C and we use this when making High-heat prototypes like lamp holding devices for our projectors.
MCP
With our MCP machine we are able to small series of functional prototypes faster than ever. With the use of this technology and our pre-production facilities, we can speed up the testing phase of a new product, allowing tests and design modifications on the product to continue in concurrence with the final tool making and production set-up.
