Manufacturing with DLP
Digital Alternative to Injection Molding
At Primary, we work closely with 3D Systems. Our staff specializes in design and manufacturing on their Figure 4 machines. With this experience and knowledge, our engineers can help you optimize your designs to minimize waste to increase cost-savings.
We use the Figure 4 from 3D Systems which implements continuous DLP technologies. These machines provide a cost-effective, digital alternative to injection molding. Using a high-speed, direct production process, the Figure 4 offers the benefits of traditional manufacturing methods without all the disadvantages.
Components built on these machines have both the performance and high-quality finish of injection molded parts but without the long wait and expensive tooling. 3D Systems has developed a wide range of materials with various mechanical properties for this resin-based machine.
Advantages
