Additive Manufacturing
Engenuity offers all of the latest technologies used to quickly fabricate scale models of a physical part or assembly using 3D computer aided design. RP is ideal for manufacturing production-quality models in small numbers.
Objet Models
When you need highly detailed parts, Objet printing is the way to go. Our printers have two or more jetting heads (one for the model and one for the support material) that spray outlines of the part, layer by layer. The liquids used are photopolymers, which get cured nearly instantly by a UV lamp within the printer, creating a solid, plastic-like model that is precise and accurate. The support material is a gel-like substance, which is easily washed away. The model has a smooth finish and is ready for sanding, painting, drilling, or tapping.
Stereo Lithography (SLA)
A 3D printing technology used for producing models, protoypes, patterns and production parts. SLA allows you to create solid, plastic, 3D objects from CAD data in a matter of hours. Whether you are a mechanical engineer wanting to verify the fit of a part, or an inventor looking to create a plastic prototype of an invention, stereolithography gives you a fast, easy way to turn CAD data into real objects.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
An additive manufacturing layer technology, SLS involves the use of a high power laser to fuse small particles of plastic powder into a mass that has the desired 3D shape. The laser selectively fuses powdered material by scanning cross-sections generated from a 3D database on the surface of a powder bed. After each cross-section is scanned, the powder bed is lowered by one layer thickness, a new layer of material is applied on top, and the process is repeated until the part is completed.
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)
Couple a 3D CAD model and our DMLS process, and you get another one of Engenuity's specialties. No special tooling is required, and parts can be built in hours. Since DMLS can use most alloys, prototypes can now be functional hardware made out of the same material as production components, which allows for more rigorous testing of prototypes.
Please call us to learn more about our material offerings, including both Shore A & D polymers and a variety of metals.
