Additive Manufacturing with Fiber Reinforced Polymers
3D composite manufacturing with fiber reinforced polymers is ideal for small to medium-size parts, needing high temp and strength
Our knowledge of composites allows us to combine 3D reinforced polymer printing technology with our current manufacturing capabilities to offer new solutions.
- Capability of printing small and medium-size parts at high accuracy
- Quick and lower-cost method for prototypes
- Reduced lead times
- Prototypes or production parts
- Ideal for low volume/quick turnarounds
- Great for work holdings, fixtures, tooling for machine shops
- Perfect for molds to reduce lead times on molded products
