ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES

While the term Additive Manufacturing (AM) is most accurately defined as 3D printing, the term is frequently used as an umbrella for other manufacturing techniques using composite materials and compounds.  

• 3D Printing  (MJF, SLA, SLS, FDM and more)
• Metal 3D Printing in 17-4PH SS and 316L SS
• FIM / Freeform Injection Molding (3D printed IM)
• Thermoforming (vacuum forming)
• Custom Thermoformed Trays​
• ESD Materials for Manufacturing
• Plastic Fabrication and Injection Molding
• ​Casting
• Interactive Marketing and Miniaturizations

As Additive Manufacturing technologies continue to innovate and expand, there has been an increasing shift from the use of 3D printing primarily for prototypes to a preference for 3D printed parts.  And with such a wide variety of available materials and composites, some components actually perform better in 3D print (including the added benefit of weight reduction) compared to traditional manufacturing technologies.
