3D printing has created a quiet revolution in
engineering prototyping and parts manufacturing. Traditionally, a complex
plastic injection molded component necessitated the development of a mold
involving a cost of thousands of dollars. Then again there is the matter of
quantity manufacturing. It is simply not practical to manufacture a mold for
only one or two articles to be used as prototypes for further refinements. 3D
printing using Fused Deposition Modeling technology has added a whole new
dimension to complex parts prototyping. From CAD design to prototype is a
single step as the 3D printer, in conjunction with appropriate software,
translates CAD design into layer by layer deposition of engineering plastics.
It is just as easy to make a small prototype as it is to make a large
part such as a specialized fender for automobiles using 3D printers.
A major factor that influences cost is the time
it takes to translate a CAD model into the printed part. With state of art
equipments and a capable team, Iannone 3d online printing service ensures
fastest turnaround. A client may deliver a basic CAD design and engineers
refine it further to reduce unnecessary material use while ensuring structural rigidity
and strength, should the prototype be required to undergo tests. Size can be
scaled up or scaled down as required without affecting crucial parameters.
There is still another important distinguishing
quality that sets Iannone 3D printing service online apart
from others. It is the ability to create large prototypes in parts on different
machines and then weld them chemically to create a dimensionally perfect
monolithic, strong, structure at a lower cost and in record time.
Complex parts are not easy to construct given
the limitations of 3D printers. A part may have unsupported overhangs. Printers
require a supporting layer underneath in order to print the part’s section
correctly. A part may have bridges and hollows that could cause dimensional variations
if 3d printing is not handled properly. Leveraging knowledge of the printers
and software, engineers at Iannone ensure that even parts with complex profiles
and overhangs and recesses print correctly without warps or deformations or
dimensional variations. These and other issues typically endemic to 3d printing
technologies, are well studied and understood by operators at Iannone.
When you get your prototype prepared through Iannone it will be perfect
in all respects, rivaling a die cast, molded or machined component, regardless
of complexity of its profile.
