Digital manufacturing for industrial parts

What is 3D printing?

3D printing is a process that creates three dimensional objects from a digital design, building the part layer by layer. It is ideal for functional prototypes, complex geometries and on demand production, without the need for molds or tooling.

Benefits of 3D printing

• Wide range of technologies available such as FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF and DMLS.
• Ideal for validating designs or producing short runs without molds.
• Professional finishes ready for functional use.

What is CNC machining?

CNC machining, or Computer Numerical Control machining, is an automated manufacturing process that uses computer programs to control machine tools such as mills and lathes, removing material from a solid block to create high precision components.

Benefits of CNC machining

• Direct production from drawing or 3D model.
• Custom finishes such as anodizing, sandblasting, painting and more.
• Milling and turning in a wide range of materials.

What is injection molding?

Injection molding is a manufacturing process used to produce plastic parts in high volumes. The material is melted and then injected at high pressure into a mold, where it cools and solidifies to take the desired shape.

Benefits of injection molding

• Molds custom designed from your drawings.
• Compatible with the main technical thermoplastics.
• Consistent parts in large volumes.

What is sheet metal bending?

Sheet metal bending is a plastic deformation process used to fold a metal sheet to create a three dimensional shape, applying controlled force without removing material. A press brake with a punch and die is used to bend the sheet to the desired angle.

Benefits of sheet metal bending

• Custom bending radii according to thickness.
• Ideal for structures, housings and metal brackets.
• Increases the structural strength of the sheet.

What is laser cutting?

Laser cutting is a digital manufacturing process that uses a concentrated and high power beam of light to cut, engrave or mark materials with great precision. A computer controls the machine to guide the beam along the desired path, vaporizing or melting the material to perform the cut or engraving.

Benefits of laser cutting

• Enables very precise cuts with fine details.
• Full repeatability for short and medium series.
• Ideal for flat parts, structures and prototypes.

What is waterjet cutting?

Waterjet cutting is an industrial process that uses a high pressure jet of water, often mixed with an abrasive, to cut a wide variety of materials with precision and without generating heat. This technique is very versatile and can cut materials such as metals, stone, glass, ceramics and rubber without damaging them with heat.

Benefits of waterjet cutting

• Effective solution for thick materials or parts that are sensitive to heat.
• Clean cut without altering mechanical properties.
• Allows thicknesses up to 100 mm with a uniform finish.
