3D Printing
Product Design
Qrint offers a variety of 3D Printing services, including: High Definition Polyjet Printing, FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) using a variety of filaments (ABS, PLA, Nylon Filaments) and large scale printing up to 24 cubic inches
FDM 3D Printing
High Resolution 3D Printing in, PLA, ABS, PET & Nylon.
This form of filament based printing is great for rapid-prototyping, model making and every-day objects used for a multitude of tasks.
Fused Deposition Modeling
FDM rapid prototyping technology, like most others, begins with an STL file from a CAD software.
This rapid prototyping machine dispenses two materials, one for support, and the other for the model.
Thermoplastics are heated to a liquid state and deposited based on the path defined by the CAD file.
The model is built from its base upwards with each layer of material being added onto the next.
This form of rapid prototyping also allows for different materials to be used, although they cannot be combined.
Printing Materials + Methods
- PLA – Low-cost option for rigid high detail prints
- ABS – High impact plastic used in many consumer products
- Nylon – Extremely durable high tensile strength industrial grade filament
- TPU – Flexible lower durometer plastic with a consistency similar to rubber
- And many more…
PolyJet 3D Printing
Ultra High Resolution Rapid Prototyping with Rigid Opaque Photopolymers, Transparent, High Temperature Simulated Polypropylene, Rubber and Bio-Compatible Materials.
PolyJet HD printing is great for prototyping industrial objects and designs, materializing high resolution architectural models or creating finished products for mold making or tooling applications.
PolyJet 3D Printing
The first technology that allows for the simultaneous layering of multiple types of model materials. The Polyjet rapid prototyping process uses a range of UV acrylic based polymers to form high resolution layers down to 16 Microns. This extremely accurate technology leaves you with a part requiring minimal finishing.
Arguably one of the best technologies for most rapid prototyping needs, the wide array of materials allows for flexible, interactive parts closest to the finished product. The materials are fully cured and office friendly, making it possible to have a rapid prototyping station right on your desk.
Two different photopolymer materials are used for building, one the support material, and the other the actual model resin. The geometry of the support material is preprogrammed by the CAD software, and allows for cavities, thin walled sections, and moveable parts.
The product of the rapid prototyping system is then placed in a waterjet machine to remove any remaining support material, leaving you with your polished prototype.
Printing Materials + Methods
Rigid Opaque photopolymers provide excellent detail visualization in gray, black, white and blue. You can 3D print accurate, attractive prototypes that test fit, form and function, even for moving and assembled parts. You can also produce smooth, accurate jigs, fixtures and manufacturing tooling; the blue shade is ideal for silicon molding.
- Rigid Opaque white material (VeroWhitePlus RGD835)
- Rigid Opaque gray material (VeroGray RGD850)
- Rigid Opaque blue material (VeroBlue RGD840)
- Rigid Opaque black material (VeroBlackPlus RGD875)
Digital ABS (fabricated inside the 3D printer from RGD515 and RGD535) is designed to simulate standard ABS plastics by combining high-temperature resistance with toughness.
Digital ABS and Digital ABS2 are ideal for:
- Functional prototypes
- Manufacturing tools,
- Molds, including injection molds
- Snap-fit parts for high or low temperature use
- Electrical parts, casings, mobile phone casings
