Materials:

MultiJet Fusion (MJF)

We recommend using MultiJet Fusion (MJF) to produce high qualitiy parts for marine application.

Using Multijet Fusion (MJF), we create high-quality Nylon parts (PA11 and PA12) efficiently and cost-effectively. MJF offers superior density, smooth finishes with 80-micron layers, and minimal post-production. The process enables up to 85% powder recycling, making it ideal for rapid, short-run production and prototypes.

Testimonials

“I have been in the industry for the past 15 years and have seen many printed parts in that time. The ones you sent are right up there with the best and I am very pleased with them.”

Raceware Direct

“The speed of turn around and quality were all excellent. My client liked the surface finish and colour of the Graphite-SLS so much they are thinking of emulating it when injection moulding the final products.”

Merrington Design

“Exactly like i wanted them to be. Great effort and delivery on a challenging part. Thank you!”

Research and Development Engineer

“Your parts are impeccable. We have not had any issues or concerns on your part quality. You guys are our preferred external supplier at the moment.”

Formula One team

“Firstly I just wanted to say that we have been extremely pleased with the consistent quality of the parts that have come through to us… it is a credit to your team and the people working on the parts, right through from sales to production.”

Technical Buyer at a Automotive engineering specialists

“Many thanks for the swing-arm that arrived today. I’m hugely impressed and it looks lovely – notable more rigid than the standard nylon that we’ve been using… congratulations on such a brilliant product and service.”
