REPSTRAP MACHINE IN PROGRESS

Model components for making the reprap are provided as a service to reprap makers. we are also offering almost all the suplies that go into the making of Mendel II designs. Customers interested are requested to send me a note.

3D PRINTING AND PROTOTYPE SERVICES

We provide complete modelling from cad generated STL files to produce a model in almost a variety of materials. The current facilties that are available include SLS, SLS and FDM services.

3D SCANNING

Laser Scanning is a non-contact technology that digitally captures the shape of physical objects using laser light. A laser probe projects a line of laser light onto a surface while cameras continuously triangulate the changing distance and shape of the laser line as it sweeps along, digitizing the object in three dimensions .

Laser triangulation is an active stereoscopic measurement technique that computes the distance of an object with a directional light source and a video camera. A laser beam is deflected from a mirror onto a scanning object.  The object scatters the light, which is then collected by a video camera located at a known triangulation distance from the laser so that the 3D spatial coordinates of a surface point or line are calculated. 

Rapid prototyping steps in when the scanned output data is saved as a stereolithography file solid CAD file.  This file can then be created into a physical 3D model for analysis via use of rapid prototype 3D printing technology.

RAPID TOOLING AND MANUFACTURE:

JAGS DRC provides rapid injection molded parts using SLA patterns with epoxy tooling and machined aluminum molds. An epoxy injection mold is formed much like an RTV Rubber Mold using a StereoLithography prototype as the pattern. The epoxy tool is then used to cast parts out of standard injection moldable materials. This process eliminates the need for metal tooling therefore dramatically reducing lead-time and tooling costs. The epoxy tool is great for short production runs and preliminary production runs. The epoxy tool can also provide parts for functional testing of the production material and for evaluating the producibility of the design for rapid injection molding.

Shown Below is the techniques employed to obtain parts from RP parts.

The RP part that is finished is taken as the master for the RTV molds as seen in the picture and frm the RTV we make multiple casts using a variety of rawmaterials like Aluminium epoxy, Glass reinforced resin, filler reinforced resin to site some examples.

Some of the standard RP samples and productio pieces are shown.
