3D PRINTING APPLICATIONS
PROTOTYPING:
3D printing is often used to create prototypes as the technology makes it easier and cheaper to make changes to a product before mass production.
PART REPLACEMENT:
Replacing a broken part is often time-consuming and expensive. 3D printing provides a cheaper alternative to having parts manufactured or ordering replacements.
EVERYDAY ITEMS:
3D printing can be used to make everyday plastic items such as dog toys, plant pots, or even shoes! The flexible nature of 3D printing means the opportunities are endless.
LOW-VOLUME PRODUCTION:
3D printing is great for low-volume product runs, as the technology allows for greater flexibility, customisation and quicker turnaround times.
3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGIES
There are a number of different 3D printing technologies, and it's important to select the right method and material to
achieve the best possible outcome for your parts. At Hatch, we specialise in Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) printing technologies. Depending on your printing requirements, we'll work with you to ensure your products are printed to the highest standard.
