Rapid prototyping for some still is an unknown world to discover. 

In the early 2000s those who used rapid prototyping technology had two needs:

1. Realize a detail in a very short time
2. Bring down the cost of equipment for the production of the pieces

Today things have changed a lot!

Rapid prototyping and in particular additive manufacturing technologies have marked a turning point not only in prototyping but also in production. The emergence of new technologies and the availability of any type of material: plastic, metal, rigid or flexible allows to achieve definitive productions with the use of 3D printing.

Let's look at the benefits of the major additive manufacturing technologies on the market.

FDM Technology uses the same tried and tested thermoplastics found in traditional manufacturing processes.

For applications that demand tight tolerances, toughness and environmental stability – or specialized properties like electrostatic dissipation, translucence, biocompatibility, VO flammability or FST ratings – there’s an FDM thermoplastic that can deliver.

The HP Jet Fusion 3D printing solution reinvents how you prototype and produce functional parts, delivering quality output, up to 10 times faster1 at half the cost.

HP Multi Jet Fusion uses a fine-grained PA 12 material that allows for ultra-thin layers of 80 microns. This leads to parts with high density and low porosity, compared to PA 12 parts produced with Laser Sintering. It also leads to an exceptionally smooth surface straight out of the printer, and functional parts need minimal post-production finishing. That means short lead times, ideal for functional prototypes and small series of end-parts.

DMILS Through the innovative LaserCUSING® printing process 3d metals, it is possible to construct pieces of any geometrical shape in different types of Steel, Aluminum, Titanium, Inconel and precious alloys, reaching a density of proximate material to 100% and hardnesses up to 54 HRC .

The Concept Laser additive manufacturing can be applied in any field but in particular it is suitable for the following sectors: Molds, Dental and Medical, Goldsmith, Automotive, aeronautic.

So are you ready for change? So try to think additive even for your productions

5 reasons why it is more advantageous to produce additives compared to traditional production technologies 

 The rapid prototyping market is growing and has been the first market to discover the enormous benefits of 3D printing.

Today, the real breakthrough is in producing definitive pieces with additive technologies.

5 reasons why 3D printing is convenient

1. No equipment costs
2. Production speed
3. Reduction of costs
4. Ability to make changes to mathematics without interrupting production
5. Replacement of parts to be assembled since it is possible to rethink and produce them in one piece.

Today I want to tell you a real case, about a month ago we were contacted by a company for the realization of 200 parts to be assembled on a piece of production.

The customer had the following requirements:

• Good mechanical properties
• Good repeatability between the pieces
• Low costs

 
Thanks to Jet Fusion Hp technology, the parts were produced in just 7 hours and only 2 days passed from the customer's request to delivery

The characteristics of the parts produced with the jet fusion technology hp are comparable to a piece of production and shows the fact that many components of the printer itself were produced with jet fusion technology, with the following advantages:

• Elimination of the mold
• Realization of functional pieces
• Reduction of production times and costs
