3D Printing

3D printing is an efficient manufacturing technology that creates parts layer by layer from digital . As experienced prototype makers, we have over 300 3D printing devices covering the full range of materials such as resin, nylon and metal, including 110 SLA devices, 30 SLS devices, 12 MFJ devices, 10 SLM devices and 150 FDM devices.Our advanced 3D prototyping capabilities allow us to produce multiple identical parts in a single build, improving production efficiency and supporting everything from rapid prototyping to small batch manufacturing for resin, nylon, metal and other materials.

FDM

SLA / DLP

SLS

MJF

FDM uses filaments including PLA, ABS, PETG and TPU to build parts by melting and extruding material layer by layer. PLA carries a low cost but remains brittle while ABS and PETG offer stronger toughness. This prototype process fits fast concept and basic functional product prototypes without strict surface requirements. It works well for early stage consumer electronics design reviews, home appliance styling checks and automotive concept models, where teams prioritize quick iteration and low cost instead of flawless surface finish.

SLA and DLP cure liquid resin layer by layer with light. Common resins include low cost general clear and high strength grades that yield fine details and smooth surfaces.

This prototype process works well for visual product prototypes needing crisp features.Built for high cosmetic standards and CMF evaluation, this prototype process creates detailed visual prototypes for consumer electronics, medical devices, automotive interiors, home appliances, robotics and aerospace.

SLS prototype fine polymer powder layer by layer with laser heat. PA12 and PA are typical powder materials. They offer great strength and wear resistance.

This prototype process produces complex parts ready for functional tests including snap-fit cycling, impact and assembly durability checks, with no mandatory surface polishing required.

MJF bonds polymer powder layer by layer with ink and thermal energy. PA12 serves as the main material with stable strength and good impact performance.

This prototype process produces finely detailed MJF product prototypes for snap fit cycling, load, impact and long term assembly durability tests in automotive, industrial automation, robotics and consumer electronics.

3D Printing Advantages

3D printing is an additive manufacturing process that builds parts by depositing material layer by layer, requiring no custom tooling and enabling one-piece formation of complex geometries such as hollow structures and internal flow channels that are difficult to produce with conventional methods to cut your high upfront tooling costs. Below is advantages of 3D printing prototypes.

• The design can be completed quickly with the least materail waste while maximizing strength.
• Conformal cooling channels significantly enhance performance and thermal stress resistance, making them highly suitable fro aerospace and automotive applications.
• Multiple identical part can be built at once on one platform, which greeatly improves production efficiency.

We accept one off orders and accommodate flexible design adjustments, turning updated CAD files into new samples rapidly to shorten your development cycles, with full post-processing available to deliver parts ready for visual review or reliability testing and remove the hassle of coordinating separate external suppliers. 

Silicone Molding / Vacuum Casting

Not need steel molds to produce small batch plastic parts

Vacuum casting (also known as polyurethane vacuum casting) is an economical alternative to small-batch injection molding of plastic parts and can be used to closely simulate the final formed parts or finished products. Typically, molds are made of silicone rubber and use CNC or SLA parts as master molds. These molds can replicate every structural detail and surface texture of the product By using casting, another product can be replicated. One set of silicone molds can replicate 10 to 15 sets of products.

Polyurethane resin is a polymer with a wide range of properties and applications. We offer a wide range of polyurethane materials to meet your application requirements, including Hei-Cast from Japan and Axs0n from France. It is a material with certain properties, similar to engineering production plastics, such as ABS, PMMA, PC, PP, PA, TPU etc. Casting parts can range from transparent and semi transparent to colored, and from soft rubber to hard plastic. A variety of materials include impact-resistant, high-temperature resistant (120℃) or fire-resistant (UL94-V0), glass-filled resins and silicone of different hardness Shore A,  like 50A, 60A, 70A, 80A 90A.

Steps of Mold Replication

Vacuum casting consists of three core stages: master pattern fabrication, silicone mold making and part replication.

Master pattern fabrication: We start from your CAD 3D files and build the master prototype via CNC machining or 3D printing such as SLA and SLS. Post-processing is carried out to refine fits and surface quality before this master is used for mold duplication.

Silicone mold making: The finished master is mounted inside a casting box, with runners and vents arranged in advance. Liquid silicone is poured around the master and degassed under vacuum, then cured in an oven at 40°C for 8 to 16 hours depending on mold volume. Once cured, the master is removed from solidified silicone to form the mold cavit

Part replication: Prepared resin is injected into the silicone mold cavity inside a vacuum chamber, followed by a second oven curing cycle. Small parts take 1–3 hours while larger components need 3–6 hours. Finished castings are demolded after curing and the cycle repeats to produce more copies.

Sheet Metal Processing

The main processes include shearing, bending and flanging, forming by bending, welding, riveting, which require a certain amount of geometric knowledge. Sheet metal parts are thin plate hardware parts, which are components that can be processed by means of stamping, bending, stretching. A general definition is that they are parts whose thickness remains unchanged during the processing. Correspondingly, there are castings, forgings, machined parts.

Metal Alloy Material Options

Common materials for sheet metal processing: cold-rolled sheet (SPCC), hot-rolled sheet (SHCC), galvanized sheet (SECC, SGCC), copper (CU), brass, red copper, beryllium copper, aluminum sheet (6061, 5052, 1010, 1060, 6063, hard aluminum, etc.), stainless steel (mirror finish, brushed finish, matte finish). Depending on the different functions of the product, different materials are selected. Generally, it is necessary to consider the product’s application and cost.

• 1. Cold-rolled SPCC sheet is mainly used for electroplated and painted parts. It has a low cost, is easy to form and the material thickness is ≤ 3.2mm.
• 2. Hot-rolled sheet SHCC, with material T≥ 3.0mm, is also used for electroplated and painted parts. It has a low cost but is difficult to form and is mainly used for flat parts.
• 3. Galvanized sheets SECC, SGCC, and SECC electrolytic sheets are divided into N material and P material. N material mainly does not undergo surface treatment and has a high cost, while P material is used for spray-painted parts.
• 4.Copper, mainly used as a conductive material, has surface treatments such as nickel plating, chromium plating, or no treatment at all, which is costly.
• 5. Aluminum plates are generally treated with surface chromate (J11-A), oxidized (conductive oxidation, chemical oxidation), which is costly and can be silver-plated or nickel-plated.
• 6. Aluminum profiles, materials with complex cross-sectional structures, are widely used in various types of cases. The surface treatment is the same as that of aluminum plates.
• 7. Stainless steel is mainly used without any surface treatment and is costly.
