Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing uses a combination of heat and pressure to produce parts from powder-based materials. It works by depositing a layer of fine powder material on a build platform and then fusing it together using a thermal print head. The process is repeated layer by layer until the entire part is built.
MJF can produce high-quality parts with consistent, water-tight properties, making it an ideal option for plenty of applications, including functional prototypes, end-use parts and low-volume production runs. The technology can create parts with high accuracy, good surface finish and excellent mechanical properties. It can also produce parts with complex geometries and internal structures.
Our SLA 3D printing service in Oxford operates by solidifying liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer using UV light. It is highly precise and has the ability to create intricate, smooth surface objects which is valuable for applications like rapid prototyping, dental models and artistic designs.
This brand-new SLA system at IPFL boasts remarkable surface quality, accuracy and detail for parts. It can be utilised for product development, prototyping props, rapid tooling and master patterns.
PolyJet operates by jetting layers if liquid photopolymer resin onto a build platform. Once deposited, UV light is immediately applied to the resin causing it to rapidly cure and solidify. This method of 3D printing is unique due to the fact that it can simultaneously jet multiple materials or resins.
Through PolyJet, you can create intricate, multi-material objects within a single print run. It can also produce varying material properties colours and transparencies within a single model. This method is perfect for prototyping, product design and even medical applications.
Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) 3D printing for Oxford is an additive manufacturing process that constructs objects layer by layer using heated thermoplastic materials. A heated nozzle extrudes melted thermoplastic filament which quickly solidifies upon deposition. It gradually builds the object from the bottom up as the build platform descends.
The applications of FDM 3D printing are limitless from static dissipation, flame-proof, and elastic material to carbon fibre-filled and anti-bacterial materials. You can easily find the material to suit your production requirements when using our FDM service.
Projection Micro Stereolithography (PµSL) uses a UV light projector to cure liquid photopolymer resin into a solid object. The resin is added to a tray and the UV light projects the desired shape onto the resin. This method is known for producing high-quality parts with a high level of detail and accuracy.
It can be used to manufacture numerous products, particularly in the medical and electronics industry as it can provide excellent small parts. It can print at 10µm layers to achieve a surface polish of up to 0.4µm Ra on top surfaces and 1.5µm on sidewalls with a diverse material range.
3D printing in Oxford has numerous benefits that allow various industries to receive quality and robust parts for all their product requirements. These benefits are:
Our 3D printing service in Oxford covers a wide array of applications for a variety of sectors, supplying the majority of the city’s industries with exceptional products and prototypes. We cover:
Our 3D printing service in Oxford uses a huge collection of materials to choose from to cater to all sorts of applications. Discover some of our materials below.
ABS thermoplastic with static dissipative properties for applications where a static charge can damage products.
This is the ideal material for conceptual modelling, functional prototyping, manufacturing tools and end-use parts.
You can build consistently high-quality parts with exceptional UV stability and the best aesthetics of any FDM thermoplastic.
PC-ISO is an industrial thermoplastic which in its raw state, is bio-compatible. It can be gamma or ETO sterilized.
This can be used to manufacture out-of-cabin aerospace components and under-the-hood automotive components.
ULTEM 9085 resin is a flame-retardant high-performance thermoplastic for digital manufacturing and rapid prototyping. It is ideal for the transportation industry due to its high strength-to-weight ratio and its flame, smoke and toxicity rating.
This material allows you to produce strong, functional, detailed and complex parts at a fraction of the cost. PA 12 is engineered to produce final parts with dimensional accuracy.
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is a highly flexible material which is a perfect choice for many applications. It is resistant to many chemicals and has highly resistant properties. It is ideal for seals, gaskets, housings and protection shrouds.
This is a durable engineering material that can be used to print working end-of-life parts. It is biocompatible with low water absorption and can be used for a variety of applications, such as electrical casings, medical devices and functional prototypes.
