STL – Stereolithography

The original model for subsequent processes.

Extremely precise and produced in just a few hours: From your CAD data, we can create an exact prototype with no need for mould making – as a display model in the initial project phase or as the basis for subsequent processes such as vacuum casting using silicone moulds.

The latest laser technology is used to set liquid epoxy resin in layers. This creates a finely detailed threedimensional model with functional areas, undercuts, and clean surfaces.

The advantages: The flexible, impact-resistant material is also suitable for snap-in hooks and catches. Transparent samples can be created, as can prototypes that are larger than the standard construction space sizes. In the latter case, the components are normally produced in several pieces and then precisely joined using adhesion bonds.
