Processes

3D-Printed Optics - Produces transparent and smooth optical elements

3D-Printed Polyetherimide (PEI) - High-performance food-safe material

Colouring of Laser Sintered Parts - Improves resistance to dirt, water, and abrasion

Digital Transfer Decoration - Decoration of plastics with low set-up costs

Electroforming

Produces thin-walled components with tight tolerances

Explosive Cladding

Dissimilar metals are joined by an explosion.

Extrusion Blow Moulding - Commonly used process to produce hollow shapes

Fibre-Reinforced 3D Printing - Embedded fibres dramatically improve the stiffness

Freeform Injection Moulding (FIM)

Plastic injection moulding in 3D printed dissolvable moulds.

Laser Transfer Decoration

Selective transfer of a metal layer to a substrate.

Metal 3D Printing (Inkjet Route) - Fast and cost-effective 3D printing of complex metal parts

Monosandwich Injection Moulding

Produces parts with different skin and core materials.

Multi-Material 3D Printing - Creates 3D models with both rigid and flexible features.

Plastic design teaching tool

Polyman

Pultruded Carbon Fibre Profiles - Offers high strength-to-weight at a relatively low cost

Pultrusion - Durable composite profiles with high strength

Silicone Over-Moulding - Silicone bonded to plastics by injection moulding

Structural Foam Moulding

Lightweight parts with foamed core.

Ultrasonic Micro-Moulding - Moulds fine geometries in low-cost moulds

UV Inkjet Printing on Plastics - Digital printing of high-resolution graphics
