Advanced Digital Design and Fabrication (ADDFab)

The M290 uses a laser to sinter a bed of metal powder, allowing layer by layer creation of geometrically complex, high quality metal parts. Using the M290 fully functional parts can be designed to be lighter, more complex, and better integrated into an assembly.

• Materials: Metals, including stainless steel, nickel, and others
• Build Volume: 250 x 250 x 325 mm
• Laser: 100 micron focus diameter

The LENS 450 operates by depositing controlled amounts of metal powder onto a work surface and sintering with a laser. The approach allows the machine to be used for part repair, hybrid manufacturing, as well as full additive part manufacturing.

• Materials: Metals, including stainless steel, nickel, and others
• Build Volume: 100 x 100 x 100 mm
• Print Accuracy:  0.25mm position, 0.025mm linear resolution

The Formiga P110 uses a laser to sinter a bed of plastic powder. The process facilitates the creation of batches of parts and allows complex geometries and quality builds from high strength plastic materials.

• Material: Polyamide
• Build Volume: 200 mm x 250 mm x 330 mm
• Layer Resolution: 0.100 mm

The Objet Connex350 allows the creation of parts with multiple materials. Materials can be printed separately or in specified ratios, offering a range of mechanical properties. Parts can be any blend of rigid and flexible materials, creating prototypes with different hardness durometers, or even soft overlays on rigid materials.

• Materials: multiple proprietary plastic and rubber-like materials
• Build Volume: 342 x 342 x 200 mm
• Layer Resolution: 16 microns
• Print Accuracy : 20—85 microns

The Mark Two printer switches between two nozzles to create carbon fiber, Kevlar, or fiberglass. The resulting parts have high strength to weight ratios that can be used for tooling, fixtures, and prototyping.

• Materials: Nylon with carbon fiber, Kevlar, fiberglass
• Build Volume: 320 x 132 x 154 mm

The Spirit GLS allows rapid laser cutting and 256-level grayscale engraving. In addition to cutting potentially complex geometries in materials like wood and acrylic, it can engrave aluminum.

• Materials: Cuts acrylic and wood; engraves aluminum
• Build Volume: 36” x 24” x 7”
• Thickness: Up to 3/8” Acrylic
