Rapid Manufacturing

Rapid Manufacturing of plastic parts- using Rapid Prototype or CNC milling techniques- has new and still unknown possibilities. Most of us have heard about the strength of CNC high speed milling, the speed of Rapid Prototyping and some of us have seen the possibilities of Rapid Tooling and/or Rapid Moulding. On this page we will try to inform you about these developments and what Mareco can offer you.

Serial Production with SLS

• You need 1000 plastic parts
• Your critical date lies within one ore two weeks
• You don't have time (or you don't want) to invest in an injection mould
• you need the parts very, very urgently ....

SOLUTION: RAPID MANUFACTURING.

Examples of sintered rapid manufactured parts, several colours:

More advantages:

• design changes possible for each new production batch
• the complexity of the arts is no issue, undercuttings are possible
• always short leadtimes, your scheduling is very flexible

If you need very high accuracy (H7 holes, chambers ± 0,01 [mm]) in our mechanical department has all kind of modern machines available. (CNC milling, truning ..).
