\nModel and prototype development with addivitve manufacturing\n<\/h2>
\n

Whether it\u2019s a scale model, an enlarged or reduced representation of an existing part, or a functional prototype: additive manufacturing makes it possible to produce customized models and components quickly and flexibly. The basis can be CAD data, existing parts or your own design concepts.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\nQuickly realizing models and prototypes\n<\/h2>
\n

3D printing offers significant advantages, particularly for customized models and prototypes. Without the need for complex tooling<\/strong>, even individual parts and small batches can be produced cost-effectively<\/strong> . Changes to digital data can be implemented quickly, even for complex shapes, making it easy to create different variants.<\/p>

This is particularly useful for presentations, training sessions or trade fairs where parts need to be shown at a different scale.<\/p>

For prototypes, rapid production makes it possible to check dimensions, installation situations and functions at an early stage. Changes can be incorporated directly into the design and produced as a new version. This allows development processes to remain flexible and components to be optimized step by step.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>

\nThe right 3D printing process for every application\n<\/h2>
\n

Depending on the required level of detail, durability and application, ROBOWORKER offers a range of additive manufacturing processes. These include Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) <\/strong>and Stereolithography (SLA)<\/strong>.<\/p>

SLS is particularly suitable for functional plastic components and complex geometries. FDM is available with materials including PLA, PLA-CF and ESD-capable materials. For SLA, Rigid, Tough and transparent materials are used.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>

\nIndividual post-processing and finishing\n<\/h2>
\n

Depending on the requirements, models and prototypes can be specifically post-processed and finished. Surface finishing options include chemical smoothing, vibratory finishing, abrasive blasting, coloring, painting and oil-resistant coatings<\/strong>.<\/p>

For technical post-processing, options include machining processes<\/strong> and the installation of threaded inserts<\/strong>.<\/p>

This allows 3D-printed models and prototypes to be adapted to the specific application, both visually and functionally.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>

\nFull-service for model and prototype development\n<\/h2>
\n

ROBOWORKER offers more than additive manufacturing, supporting projects throughout the entire process<\/strong> if required. This starts with design and engineering and extends from 3D printing to post-processing and finishing.<\/p>

It makes no difference whether a finished data set is already available, an existing part serves as a template, or a customized design needs to be developed.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>
