The perfect solution for outsourcing short run or one-off products, or rapid prototyping
Prototyping, short run
Thermoplastic 3D printing is a very speedy and cost-efficient alternative to traditional manufacturing methods for making prototypes.
What can take weeks or months using traditional methods, can be accomplished in a day or two with VTPM.
Rapid testing
Immediate adjustments or corrections can be made permitting rapid testing of variations of an object or part. In some cases, where new materials or combinations of materials are used, it may require more time to carry out the necessary testing (even weeks in some cases).
Short run products, where only a few of the same part or parts are needed are an ideal application of thermoplastic additive manufacturing.
The Gigaprinter makes it possible to print large objects rapidly.
Other major advantages are the low cost and local availability of raw materials (including recycled plastics) and the high quality of output which often requires no or minimal post processing.
At Shape Factory we will work with you closely and directly, regardless of your level of knowledge of 3D printing, to produce the prototypes or one-off or short run products you need.
