On-demand, outsourced 3D printing services using the most advanced thermoplastics-based, large build volume technology available.

ADVANCED 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY

Shape Factory uses patented, proprietary technologies to help produce the objects you need, no matter how complex the geometry, materials or properties: Versatile Thermoplastics Particle Manufacturing™ (VTPM™).

This technology allows us to:

  • 1. Work with the widest possible range of thermoplastic materials
  • 2. Create geometrically complex objects of sufficiently large size with high accuracy
  • 3. Produce high quality final products.

FROM VIRTUAL TO REAL – FULL SERVICES

Creating a virtual object and making it into a real object using additive manufacturing is a complex activity with many parts, skills and services.

1.The first step is to create/obtain a virtual model.

2.The second step is to create a virtual object from the model.

This service is provided material scientists and technologists who determine what properties the object should have, where it will be located, how it will be used, etc.

3.The third step, printing, includes several sub-steps:

  • Creating G-code
  • Printing.
  • Post-processing.
  • Delivery service.

At Shape Factory we can provide all of these services or just the ones that are needed for a particular project.
