Los polímeros o plásticos termoplásticos pueden ser fundidos y solidificados en repetidas ocasiones reteniendo sus propiedades intrínsecas. Esta es la característica que emplea la tecnología de impresión 3D denominada como Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM). Las impresoras 3D de plástico mediente FDM funden un filamento de un polímero termoplástico para depositarlo sobre una capa sólida depositada previamente, de tal forma que el calor del material fundido refunde la capa solidificada para que ambas se adhieran y formen una pieza impresa única. Esta adhesión entre capas también es promovida por la presión que ejerce el fundido saliente de la impresora 3D sobre la capa sólida.
Plastic items produced in printers can be used as a quick and cost-efficient prototype, or for the verifications of moulds and designs. However, the large-scale professional printer available at Addimen permits the manufacturing of fully functional engineering plastic parts for a variety of uses such as electronic apparatus casings, mounting and assembly tools, lightened robotic arms, etc.
para aplicaciones variadas como carcasas de aparatos electrónicos, útiles de montaje y ensamblado, garras de robots aligeradas, etc
– Send us your 3D file ready to print.
– If you do not have the file, send us the item and we will create the CAD file.
– If you need a design from zero, our designers will gladly prepare a quote for you.
– We will create the process file adapted to the technology and materials that will be used to produce your item.
– We prepare and condition the printer to guarantee optimum quality.
This step is key when meeting your requirements, and it is one that we are highly specialised in.
The removal of the printing support structures, heat treatments, and surface finishes (blasting, polishing, tooling) are some of the most common post processes.
The most common post processes are: the removal of supports (they may be dissolved), smoothing, surface blasting, bonding, polishing, and painting.
With 3D printing, any product can be personalised and adapted to changing market conditions, without any extra cost.
Thanks to digitalisation and additive manufacturing, spares can be supplied on demand as our delivery time is minimal.
By using a 3D scanner, we can obtain the plans of a discontinued part, which has no available designs, and then print it in metal or plastic.
The basic definition of 3D printing is to methodically add material until an item is created. The consolidation of parts for the production process also saves energy and material costs.
