You’ll get the latest technology
Rapid prototyping techniques will produce an accurate model of your product quickly; a model you can hold and examine. This makes it easier for you to spot problems and make improvements.
Gemini embraces new and pioneering technologies as they emerge. As a result you don’t just get our own considerable expertise, knowledge and equipment, but also the strong relationships we have with specialist companies. This means that you also have access to rapid prototyping services that ensure you get the most effective process for your needs. These include:
-
Stereolithography (SLA) – for high accuracy and good surface finish
-
Selective laser sintering (SLS) – produces parts from a wide range of commercially available powder materials
-
Stratasys FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling - ABS) – commonly used within engineering design
-
Objet- 3D ‘printing’ in acrylic
-
Titan - polycarbonate FDM
-
Thermojet - wax block models
-
DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) - for mould tools/inserts
-
Alumide (Sintered aluminium / nylon) - for mould tools/inserts
