THE EXPERTISE THAT SETS US APART

Smoothing

  • Reduction / Elimination of stair-stepping from the process of additive manufacturing
  • Homogeneous surface thanks to our automated smoothing methods
  • Semi-glossy surfaces with ideal properties: the foundation for superior coloring results
  • High scratch resistance
  • Soft to the touch

Surfacing

  • Achievement of good surface finishes of the parts according to your dimensioning elements:
    • Roughness, geometry, and appearance of surfaces
    • According to: RA 63, 125, 250
  • Equipped with the right surface measurement technologies
  • Automated and environmentally safe surfacing technology

Coloring

  • Coloring according to different standards or pallet of colors:
    • RAL, GENTEK, PANTONE, FED-STD-595
    • Quality control of color match according to ASTM D1729
  • Matte, glossy, textured finish
  • Environmentally safe, automated tinting technology that ensures consistent and uniform finishes

Dye, painting and coating

  • Compliance with standards:
    • Aerospace standard FST FAR 25.853
    • Automotive quality
    • RoHS and REACH
    • Low VOC
  • Matte, glossy, textured finish
  • Certificate of traceability
  • Industrial painting room and state-of-the-art equipment
  • Equipped with quality technologies to measure applied layer thicknesses
  • Environmentally safe, automated dyeing technology that ensures consistent and uniform finishes

Texturing

  • Texture obtained from an automated process
  • Texture integrated into the 3D model

Sealing

  • Automated process for sealing Polyamides (PA) and Polyetherimide (PEI)
  • Leak test to check the quality of the seal – Ability to seal parts with strengths greater than 50 PSI
  • Sealing technique with special coatings
  • Smooth and uniform finishing process
  • “Washable” type parts with surface similar to injection
  • Increase in mechanical properties:
    • Resistance to certain pressure levels
    • Permeability
    • Elongation
    • UV resistance
    • Durability and resistance to high temperatures
  • Automated and environmentally safe forced steam sealing technology that ensures consistent and uniform finishes

Assembly

  • Assembly for large format parts (greater than 3 x 2 x 3 feet)
  • Preparation of your CAD models for seamless integration
  • Addition of interlocking and positioning systems
  • Various hot welding techniques
  • Installation of components by mechanical or adhesive fixing
  • Dimensional inspection to verify the conformity of the assemblies

Marking - identification

  • 3D Contour laser marking without text or graphic deformation
  • Etching technique with speciality coatings and wet paints
  • Speciality ink marking for aerospace (coming soon)
