SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
| Selective Laser Sintering is another "additive" process that sinter (fuse) a variety of materials, including nylon, glass-filled nylon and steel, to "grow" 3D objects layer-by-layer from 3D CAD data.It can also be used to fabricate metal and ceramic objects and tools Because this is an additive process, highly complex geometries can be built without issue, and because the powder holds the parts, no support structures have to be added and removed. The key advantage of LS is its ability to rapidly produce durable, functional objects for a wide variety of applications. |

| Stereolithography is a process which produces a physical, three dimensional object, conceptual model, or master pattern utilizing 3D CAD Data. A Rapid Prototyping machine uses a computer controlled laser to cure a photo-sensitive resin, layer by layer, to create the 3D part. SLA parts greatly assist in the visualization of a product, as well as communication between project team members. |

3D Printing, especially Polyjet Technologies, is excellent at reproducing very fine surface detail and texturing. The technology is also capable of using two different materials during the same build. Some common applications are producing over molds on parts and medical models used in planning surgery. |

CNC (Computer Numerical Control)
Computer Numerical Control (CNC) Equipment utilizes a process that is known as subtractive manufacturing. This process can produce parts out of a wide range of materials It can also hold tolerances that are typically less then +/-.005. For more information on these capabilities click here or download the PDF below.

Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) Silicone is used to create molds that can cast up to100 parts from one mold (depending on part geometry) in a variety of materials that mimic production quality parts. The process begins with the creation of a high-resolution master pattern. This master pattern is then used to create a RTV silicone mold which will then will be used to cast the duplicates. Since the silicone mold is flexible, undercuts and difficult geometries can be produced.

Rubber Plaster Mold (RPM) is typically suited to prototype and production runs of 1000 parts or fewer from non ferrous metals It is often turned to as a alternative to investment casting or sand casting. The RPM process is the best method of simulating die cast part in both appearance and physical properties. It can also produce parts in materials such as Zinc, Aluminum, and Magnesium Alloys.

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)is a rapid prototyping method that extrudes material, layer-by-layer, to build a model. The build material, production quality thermoplastics, extruded through a head onto a platform to create a two-dimensional cross section of the model. This Section solidifies, and the platform descends. This Process is repeated until the model is complete.

RP tempering is a proprietary process of infiltrates and coatings used in conjunction with prototype parts to improve their mechanical characteristics. They are available in multiple formulations all with specific functions each perform. Attached is a list of some the characteristics that RB tempering can improve along with different RP Tempering processes.

Applying Chrome Plating to SLA part will improved the models mechanical properties. The metal plating will provide a increased resistant to chemical, improved heat deflection, waterproof model, and improve impact strength (up to 3x). Plating needs to be analyzes on a per project basis, for additional information please contact your project manager. |
Laser Scanning is a non-contact method of retrieve 3D data from the host object. The process consist of shining a structured laser line over the surface of an object in order to collect 3-dimensional data. The surface data is captured by a camera sensor mounted in the laser scanner which records the 3D point in reference to one another. For additional information
