Proto Labs Launches 'Quick-Turn' 3D Printing Capabilities
“We’re extremely excited that customers can now get additive parts built
with the same one- and two-day turnaround time as our other
manufacturing services,” says
Stereolithography translates CAD models into physical plastic parts by laser-curing liquid thermoset resin into thousands of thin layers until a final part is formed; selective laser sintering works in a similar fashion, but draws onto nylon powder to form a desired shape. Both processes are used regularly to create concept models, complex parts and other prototypes for nearly any field.
“We work with engineers every day who are developing products in industries like medical, lighting and aerospace, and many need parts as fast as possible in order to bring products to market faster," says Connelly. “It’s our goal that the new quick-turn additive capabilities will make it even easier for them to do just that.”
