Sample preparation and processing
Rapid Prototyping: 3D Printing and CNC
Resin (SLA/LFS) and FDM 3D printing together with desktop CNC machining for test specimens, fixtures, sample holders and functional prototypes.
In short
Resin (SLA/LFS) and FDM 3D printing together with desktop CNC machining for test specimens, fixtures, sample holders and functional prototypes. The rapid prototyping service combines three complementary fabrication methods. Typical needs include sample holders and fixtures for analytical instruments, standard test specimen geometries (tensile, flexural, impact), print trials of nanocomposite filaments, laboratory tooling and product prototypes.
The rapid prototyping service combines three complementary fabrication methods. The Formlabs Form 4B resin printer produces high-resolution parts with fine surface finish in standard, engineering, flexible and biocompatible resins; the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon FDM printer builds durable parts in PLA, PETG, ABS, nylon and carbon-fibre filaments; and the Makera Carvera Air desktop CNC with 4th axis and laser module machines precise parts and engravings from aluminium, brass, plastic and composite stock. Typical needs include sample holders and fixtures for analytical instruments, standard test specimen geometries (tensile, flexural, impact), print trials of nanocomposite filaments, laboratory tooling and product prototypes. Manufacturability is assessed from your STEP/STL files and design improvements suggested. It serves R&D departments, university laboratories and start-ups.
What you receive
Fabricated parts (resin, FDM or CNC) with the requested post-processing
Production record covering material, layer height/toolpath, print or machining parameters and post-processing steps
Manufacturability assessment and design improvement suggestions
Dimensional check report of critical features by calliper/micrometer on request
Production summary report (PDF)
How it works
Request and scoping
CAD file, function, material, tolerances and quantity are collected; the suitable fabrication method and orientation are agreed with you.
Sample reception and preparation
The model is repaired and sliced or the CAM toolpath generated; material is prepared and machine calibration verified.
Measurement
The part is printed or machined; washing, curing, support removal and surface finishing are applied and critical dimensions checked.
Reporting
Parts are delivered with the production record; functional fit and suggestions for the next iteration are discussed with you on request.
