There are several 3D modeling software applications. They are used in construction, architecture and engineering-related areas, including rapid prototyping. Differences between software and file formats: In rapid prototyping, we use a software called CAD (Computer-Aided Design). It supports production [...]
About the customer A company operating in the field of medical innovations approached us about an ambitious project with many difficulties. These were several assembled parts, some of which were in large sizes and others transparent. The product The file consisted of [...]
There are several types of tools used to design models and prototypes. Below is a list, in chronological order of use, in the different steps of prototyping: - Plans: these are 2D files or 3D files. The latter are a [...]
Silicone molds are part of the tooling required for the production of vacuum-molded plastic parts. Their re-use results in significant economies of scale. It is therefore essential to ensure that they are produced in an appropriate manner to permit [...]
Prototech continues to ensure the satisfaction of its customers and is continuing its international expansion. The company has indeed implemented a number of initiatives to develop its rapid prototyping services in English-speaking and German-speaking countries. As a result, several [...]
Is it better to buy a 3d printer or use a 3d printing service for plastic parts? Basically, the answer depends on the frequency you will use it and also whether or not you can train your staff members [...]
The plastic machining process starts from 3D files used to operate the machining center. This device will machine directly in a plastic block, in order to shape the part in 3D. After the completion of the production, the part [...]
The importance of 3D design The phase of defining the design of the part must take account of the specifications of the part’s environment and also the options for industrialization. In fact, the design office must draw a plastic part [...]
In this news update, we present the first category of parts making use of rapid prototyping. This relates to 3D prototyping applied to objets d’art. These parts are intended for artistic, decorative and architectural environments. Our workshop often undertakes [...]
The majority of the rapid prototyping projects and small series of plastic parts that we create can be divided into four categories: 3D rapid prototyping First of all, we make prototypes or models in the technical sense of the term. This [...]
