Rapid 3D Prototyping
Don’t risk sharing your important IP to an unknown 3rd party company, allow Orbit to manufacture your samples in-house.
By utilising our in-house Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) technology, we are able to supply rapid prototype and small production runs of in-use parts.
Because FDM uses production grade thermoplastics it is ideal for;
- Concept models
- Functional prototypes
- Manufacturing aids/jigs
- Low volume in-use parts
- 5 different materials:
(ABS, ASA, PLA, TPU, ABS-CF10) - Build size of 10x10x10 inches
- Layer thickness of 0.127mm
- Heated chamber reducing internal tension
- Enclosed build chamber, significantly reducing environmental factors affecting print results
