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 most practical aspect of our process lies in the fact that we utilize the inherent properties of nylon in order to create a durable and functional prototype. In the production of a 3D prototype, we use melted nylon powder in order to achieve a level of structure and flexibility that will further facilitate functionality [...]
Large scale manufacturing isn't the only feasible function of 3D prototyping. Not by a longshot. Due to groundbreaking medical scanning and imaging technology, recreation of internal biological objects has become more than just science fiction, it's become a reality. The key to creating these three-dimensional models lies in our ability to create exact replicas of [...]
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 [...]
You may have noticed the Zelda pump (3d printed by us with SLS and nylon) on our home page, but I thought I'd bring light to it again as recently our customer let us know that with their last round of testing the pump ran for 2-1/2 days, pumping 2.3 million gallons of water! That's [...]
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: the article below we wrote to illustrate 3D printing possibilities and because it's just fun. We do not and cannot make or sell this item. Sorry, we also do not know of anyone who does or could help you. How it would start In order to make this item for [...]
Even though we've been in the 3d printing business for 20 years, I NEVER get tired of hearing how much better our SLS nylon prototypes are than our competition! Last week we received a message from a recent customer that was using a well-known large 3d printing company before finding our services and here's what [...]
Star Trek fans rejoice, as after much anticipation the Bluetooth Star Trek Communicator has arrived! Here's the story... Just before Christmas I pre-ordered the new Star Trek Bluetooth communicator as a gift and needed to wrap something in place (as a photo is kinda lame). Being in the 3d printing business, I approached one of [...]
As a leading 3d printing services provider in Canada for almost 20 years, we can tell you with certainty that the majority of inventors start with patents and prototypes well before they should. This can be a costly mistake and easily avoided by taking the right steps at the right time.
We created this functioning 3d printed prototype for the Zelda Pump that was used for live testing. Created as a full scale prototype, it was tested pumping gallons of water in seconds without the use of hydro! Watch the video to see it in action.
