Q&A Information-Laser prototyping
| Q.01 | What is the maximum size piece that can be produced using laser prototyping? |
|---|---|
| A.01 | Single pieces up to X/Y/Z 610x610x500mm can be produced. It is possible to produce larger sizes objects by assembling smaller sections together. Please contact us with your requirements. |
| Q.02 | What is the minimum pitch supported by laser prototyping? |
|---|---|
| A.02 | The minimum pitch is 0.05 mm. It is generally not possible to represent features smaller than 0.2 mm. |
| Q.03 | What material is used in laser prototyping? |
|---|---|
| A.03 | An epoxy based UV curing resin is used. A variety of ABS type resins are also available. |
| Q.04 | What types of materials can be used in casting? |
|---|---|
| A.04 | Available resins include polyurethane based ABS-like, PP-like, PC-like materials for vacuum casting, as well as elastomers and transparent materials. |
| Q.05 | What is the maximum cast size? |
|---|---|
| A.05 | Parts can be produced up to X/Y/Z 500x500x200mm. (actual model size) * Please contact us with your requirements for larger sizes. |
| Q.06 | What is the minimum cast size? |
|---|---|
| A.06 | The minimum size varies depending on the features. We will respond after verifying your 3D data. |
| Q.07 | Approximately how long does it take to produce a model? |
|---|---|
| A.07 | Although actual lead time may vary depending on features, advance delivery is usually possible within one week. |
| Q.08 | Do you have any price list? |
|---|---|
| A.08 | Because here is no "standard" prototype model, quotations are provided on a case by case basis. Please contact us with your specific requirements. |
| Q.09 | How durable are cast parts? |
|---|---|
| A.09 | Some resins will yellow with age. Please contact us for more specific information. |
| Q.10 | How durable are silicone molds? |
|---|---|
| A.10 | Durability depends on part features, but generally 15-20 models can be cast from a single silicone mold. |
| Q.11 | Can cast parts be painted? |
|---|---|
| A.11 | Yes. Please notify us of your paint requirements. |
| Q.12 | Is it possible to cast any shape? |
|---|---|
| A.12 | Before beginning production, we will meet with customers to discuss any fine features that may not be able to be reproduced by laser prototyping. |
| Q.13 | What data format is needed for 3D data preparation? |
|---|---|
| A.13 | It is possible to create 3D data from technical drawings provided in the DXF or DWG formats. It is also possible to produce data from line drawings or rough sketches. |
| Q.14 | Is it possible to create data even if no drawings are available? |
|---|---|
| A.14 | A 3D non-contact digitizer (VIVI910) can be used to produce data from Styrofoam or clay handmade models. |
