Many people are surprised when they learn how truly different SLS 3D printing is from what they thought it was. As Canada's first 3D Printing Company since '96 and SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) specialists for over 20 yrs, we still find it fun to share just how different it really is! They say a picture [...]
3D Printing Supply Chain Issues — No More Providing 3d printing supply chain solutions to our customers is not uncommon. Our parts are as close as you can get to injection molded components. Made with the SLS process and nylon 12. As a result, parts can be sterilized, tapped, drilled and machined. Because of their [...]
In Memory of Alex "aullicks" Sirman — May The Force Be With You It was with great honour and privilege that we were able to be a part of Alex's memorial and create this 3d printed Lego-like urn with a Star Wars feel. As you read more below from a letter we received from [...]
The new year had me reflecting on some of our past projects and accomplishments and I felt this one was worth sharing again! (this time showing you a direct comparison of the actual K'nex model to our model). Each part was post processed in the desired colour, then assembled using the K'nex instructions. It built [...]
3D Printed Baby Yoda ornament on Jon Favreau's tree as posted on instagram! (we even commented on his feed). Disney's Star Wars spin off show, Mandalorian, introduced the world to the cutest thing ever... Baby Yoda! We were trying to determine which process was used to 3d print and thought how amazing it would have [...]
3D Printing on the Moon... finally someone is talking sense! Up until this time I have found the media promoting stories about 3d printing on Mars, how limitless it would be and grand visions of just what could be accomplished, but... missing a very key component. How can you 3d print without limits on any [...]
3D Printing or Rapid Prototyping? For any old school engineers or fellow 3d printing cohorts that have been around the block (like myself), you may recall back in the day that today's now common term of 3D Printing (additive method for 'growing' a part layer by layer from a CAD file) was originally referred to [...]
We created this cool K'NEX project for our tradeshow booth display and it was a bit hit! People actually came specifically over to our booth to take pictures and selfies with it to send off to their kids. Made using SLS and nylon12, then post coloured with our own developed process, over 720 individual pieces [...]
Surprisingly, removing the build is actually the exciting part of the SLS 3d printing process! Not watching it as it builds. Most think watching an SLS while building would be the interesting part of of the process, however because of the way the process builds, there's actually very little to see. Here's a super basic summary [...]
My week started with a phone call and a question as to whether our company could help with a very personalized item. Within one minute, it was shared that this customer wanted a 6” custom Lego brick followed by these words “this will be an urn for my son’s ashes, who recently passed away from [...]
