Physical models are far more efficient than a 3D file and thus enable clear and concrete evaluation of the design.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Design improvement:<\/strong> thanks to 3D printing, quick prototyping means flexibility to produce realistic prototypes faster and to implement changes if needed prior to launching the final production run. It enables to <strong>test viability of the prototype<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>High-precision prototype: it enables to create high-precision prototypes that resemble the final product.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>MAKING A PROTOTYPE: AN ASSET FOR YOUR PROJECT!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Access to a mock-up comes with numerous advantages:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Creation of complex designs:<\/strong> you have <strong>almost complete freedom when it comes to shape<\/strong> as 3D printing is suited to highly complex shapes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mass production:<\/strong> several parts can be produced at the same time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Financial advantage and production deadlines<\/strong>: with 3D printing, there is no longer any need for expensive tools or infrastructure to produce various geometric shapes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manufacturing process:<\/strong> one of the processes used for prototyping at Heratec is FDM. Having first used CAD, instructions are sent to the printer that will reproduce the object layer by layer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>3D printing \u2013 CAD\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>FDM: the <strong>quickest way<\/strong> of printing a prototype. Here we use<strong> thermoplastics<\/strong>. A plastic filament is heated in the extrusion nozzle of the machine and then melted. Once it has been deposited, it solidifies as it cools and sticks to the previous layer.<\/p>\n<p>With our<strong> Stratasys Fortus 900MC printer<\/strong>, at Heratec we carry out <strong>FDM printing using thermoplastics<\/strong>.<br \/>\nWe design tooling for our customers in various sectors (aviation, automotive and medical).<\/p>\n<p><em>3D Stratasys Fortus 900MC printer\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p>For the aviation industry we printed <strong>\u201cFOD\u201d<\/strong> <strong>(Foreign Object Damage)<\/strong> <strong>caps <\/strong>made out of memory foam covered in silicone.
