In our search for technology that improves the efficiency of automation solutions, two items that have changed the game are the Peel3DTM 3D scanner and in-house 3D FDM, CFR, and SLA printers. The benefits of this technology have the potential to significantly elevate productivity with rapid prototyping and provide detailed documentation of as-built parts or assemblies. The benefits of 3D scanning and printing have enabled Edgewater Automation to reduce dependency on traditional manufacturing methods, enhance innovation through quick design iteration, and accelerate time to market. As this technology continues to evolve, we can expect more innovative applications and improved capabilities, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in this industry. Thanks to mechanical design engineer Christian Ybarra for doing such a great job showing us how this technology fits so well into our custom automation solutions. #3DPrinting #AutomationSolutions #3DScanning #RapidPrototyping #TechInnovation #ManufacturingTech #ProductivityBoost #EngineeringDesign #AdditiveManufacturing #Industry40

🌟 Exciting Update from DAMRC! 🌟 We're pushing the boundaries of 3D-printed plastics with one of our latest projects! Our goal is to enhance the precision of 3D-printed fixtures by introducing machining into the process. This innovative approach aims to achieve tighter tolerances than traditional 3D printing methods. By rethinking both the design and machining processes of 3D-printed components, we're setting new industry standards. Follow our journey as we refine these techniques and lead the way in advanced manufacturing solutions! More details on the project will be available shortly on our webpage, until then fell free to check out our other cool projects. https://lnkd.in/dQCtyxyH #3DPrinting #Innovation #Manufacturing #Engineering #DAMRC

Welcome back to another Friday with us! With so many jobs running through the shop it can take time to have manageable lead times within the production process. But at ATD Precision, we like to utilize our resources so we can simplify production and minimize risks of errors during assembly. One of those resources being MarkForged's Desktop Composite 3D Printers, Model: Mark Two. The Continuous Fiber Reinforcement (CFR) printing type used helps build carbon fiber prototypes within hours and produce stronger end-use parts that allows us to check fixtures. Speeding up our assembly lead times and catching potential errors quicker. Having this asset sets ATD up to continue to provide on time parts while adhering to quality inspections. We want to hear from you and see if ATD Precision can be a great fit for your manufacturing needs.

Why Choose Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) for Your Next Project? SLS is one of the more versatile additive manufacturing technologies in our portfolio. Here are four reasons why it's an excellent choice for your next project: Complex Geometries // SLS enables 3D printing of parts with complex geometries for prototype and production applications. Affordability // It can be used to build a large volume of parts quickly with minimal post-processing required. Build Size // It can be used to build large parts in sections, which can then be bonded together. Part Validation // Because it uses popular thermoplastics like nylon, it can be used to validate part designs prior to injection molding toolmaking.
