Our multi-disciplinary teams visit clients’ sites and operations to identify appropriate parts for AM. Parts can be suitable to proceed with AM immediately, suitable for AM production with a material upgrade or re-design, parts that are suitable in limited circumstances (e.g. rapid requirements, small production volumes) and parts that are more suitable for traditional manufacturing.
Our deeply experienced design team create digital files custom-designed to client specifications with a full suite of DfAM upgrades. Formats can be in a range of file formats including STL, OBJ, STEP or RAPID Code.
Supplying finished parts for clients, including designing the part, creating the files for printers, printing and any post production to finish the part to the required tolerances, specifications and mechanical properties. Part production is increasingly focused on small-batch production or bridge manufacturing for volumes of up to few hundred or a few thousand pieces.
Increasingly clients want to secure the benefits for AM on a more exclusive and “just-in-time basis”. We are able to scope, design, set up, equip and operate a customized production facility within a client’s supply chain or facility. The benefit to clients is to leverage the “just-in-time at point-of-use” production that AM offers.
It is important to build up everyone’s knowledge and understanding of how to maximize the benefits of additive manufacturing. We can train client team members on all stages from developing an AM strategy to parts selection, parts design, facility operations and quality management.
