Prototypes - SLS/Polyjet/SLA etc.:

Idé-Pro Skive A/S supplies FDM, SLS, SLA and a variety of other prototype technologies in various materials.

Sample from our production:

3D CAD model, - via SLS, - to injection-moulded parts.

SLS:

SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) is a rapid manufacturing technique that uses a high power laser to fuse small particles (Nylon-PA) into a mass representing a desired 3-dimentional object.
SLS offers the key advantage of making functional parts in essentially final materials and it is suitable for test purposes, but it does not have exactly the same characteristics as injection-moulded parts.
Since the objects are sintered they are porous. If a more rigidly part is required a glass-filled nylon can be used.

Polyjet:

Polyjet creates prototypes with an ink-jet process. Instead of ink, however, the print head deposits photopolymer that is immediately cured with a UV lamp.
Polyjet is not as strong as SLS, but it has a more smooth surface than SLS.
Polyjet is often a less expensive alternative to SLA.

SLA:

SLA (Stereolithography) enables the creation of complex, three-dimensional models by successively laser-curing cross sections of a liquid resin. A laser contacts the resin, which is a photopolymer, causing the material to solidify.
SLA is not as strong as SLS, but it is more accurate and has a more smooth surface than SLS. SLA reminds, to some extend, of Polyjet.
We can also offer a SLA type in a fine grade version being suitable for small accurate and  detailed models.
Lead time for SLS, Polyjet og SLA models is normally approximately 1 week.

FDM, PUR-cast and milled prototypes:

We can also offer various prototype technologies such as FDM, PUR-casts, milled prototypes, etc.
