3D Printing

DESCRIPTION

Meyer Plastics has now entered the 3D Printing business to offer our customers the benefit of rapidly generated samples and production parts. In the last three years we have become very experienced in technology and material selection, making several different parts for customers.

3D Printing is very useful for quick samples once the solid model has been prepared. To be able to hold a real part in your hand helps determine if the function, fit, and finish of the design are satisfactory. Besides production parts, we have also printed quality control fixtures for checking parts on the production line. This can save substantial cost over having fixtures made in aluminum or steel. Sometimes we need fixtures that aid in assembly and using 3D Printing is the quickest way to make it.

EQUIPMENT

3D printing is very productive when you need less than 1000 parts annually. It becomes quite expensive to build the required tooling for injection molding, when you can knock the order out on multiple printers. Our current inventory of machines numbers 15 including single filament and several multi-color machines. We have produced parts well above 10,000 parts engaging several machines on the same part.
