3D Printing
We have in-house 3D printing equipment and knowledgeable CAD technicians. 3D printing, sometimes referred to as additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. We use this to create reactive solutions for replacement parts, which is particularly useful when modelling and prototyping for research and development activities prior to full production.
