Order for industrial radio controller case(s) for a wood chipper going out the door. Switched over from injection molding because who needs long wait times?

Prints we have from today! Part 1

The rewards of a new heat bed!

In our from earlier this week our largest FDM machine was undergoing some maintenance.

Today, we have a 450 mm tall test piece that printed in 12 hours. We printed this part and found that ringing occurred due to our frame so a couple more adjustments left.

Maybe if we throw a pellet extruder on it, the print would be done in 2 hours?

Did you know our manufacturing technologies can help reduce supply chain issues, ease the headaches of mass production, and allow on demand manufacturing?

We believe in local manufacturing and want you to enjoy those benefits for your next solution. Contact us today if you have any questions with your manufacturing project.

From design to prototype to production, we are continually innovating to keep it all in house right here in Melbourne, Florida.

Any guesses what we are making today for one of our customers? Wrong answers only.

L-RIM: Another day another low run injection mold.

Can’t say what parts these are just yet but we are helping people bring their ideas to life.

Best part is there is no minimum quantity!

Did you know we do FDM printing?

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printing is the process by which plastic goes through a heat change to allow it to be laid down layer by layer and cools to allow a 3D model to be built.

These parts usually have a coarse surface finish but the material library is extensive. Parts can generally only be produced one at a time so it is great for one-off or small-run manufacturing.

Stay tuned for an in depth look of how FDM allowed us to make custom downspout connectors for a large apartment complex in Melbourne.
