3D Printing

AlgoShift 3D printed prototype and production parts

3D printing, or, in general terms, additive manufacturing, is a fantastic technology we have been using for years –longer than most.  From early stages at the very inception of 3D printing making simple parts such as custom knobs and buttons for control panels and user interfaces to advanced components in robotics and aerospace made from plastics and metal through 3D printing.

As technology evolved we were not satisfied with some of the results and eventually developed our own high performance FDM 3D printers for internal use.  Our Vector ™ printer runs faster than most commercial off-the-shelf 3D printers while offering precision, repeatability and results few are able to match.  While we do not sell our custom printer technologies, you have access to the Vector ™ printer advantages through our rapid prototyping services.

Our reach into 3D printing does not stop there.  Through internal capacity and external partners we have access to:

  • SLA
  • FDM
  • SLS
  • MJF
  • DLS
  • Metal 3D printing
  • Polyjet

3D printing does not necessarily fit all manufacturing flows.  When it does, it’s hard to beat.  3D printing during the prototyping stages is one of the most common applications of the technology.  We have prototyped everything from simple heatsink extrusions to complex enclosures and parts ultimately intended for injection molding or metal die-casting.

We are ready to assist you in getting parts made through 3D printing or helping your design parts and entire products to prototype or manufacture using one of the many technologies mentioned above.  Get in touch.  We can help.
