3D PRINTING

Additive manufacturing has become more accessible over the past two decades making these technologies viable tools to replace or improve upon many current industrial processes. This trend has been observed in Aeronautical, Space, Marine and Civil Engineering, various forms of Medical Care , Heritage Industries, Product Prototyping and Architectural Design to name but a few examples.

CC3D recognises this and plans to be a part of this advanced manufacturing revolution here in Cornwall.

Computer Aided Design and 2D/3D scanning are the two starting points of any real world object’s journey towards becoming either a digital representation or a replicated 3D model.

We combine these processes in ways that benefit individuals and businesses in the most optimal way possible, that both suit limited timescales and fixed budgets requirements.

3D PRINTING WITH CC3D

At CC3D we utilise a growing range of Filament Deposit Modelling (FDM) desktop printers to give you exceptional results every time.

These machines deposit thermoplastic filaments through heated nozzles onto build plates, literally “drawing” or depositing one layer of substrate at a time until the full model is completed and ready for clean-up and possibly support removal.

This technology represents enormous advantages compared to more traditional manufacturing processes:

COST EFFECTIVE

Additive manufacturing technologies have proven extremely cost effective for prototyping, iterative design, bespoke product manufacture and low-volume batch production.

QUICKER

3D Printing technologies substantially reduce the time taken to create prototypes, presentation models, bespoke functional products and in some cases are faster for small-batch mass production runs compared to traditional methods.

STRONGER

3D Printing technologies are now the manufacturing method of choice for items such as jigs, fixtures and specialist functional products as well as being applied to many other new and old manufacturing processes across numerous industries.

Complex Design Capable

Additive manufacturing creates new opportunities that simply aren't available using traditional methods, including multidimensional integrated moving parts, single-part multi-material construction and multi-colour part production.

Eco-friendly

Additive manufacturing processes typically require less electrical power than traditional manufacturing methods, smarter and more capable design opportunities paves the way to reduce transport costs and carbon footprints and at CC3D our preferred manufacturing materials are 100% recyclable.

Digital Manufacture Ready

Additive manufacturing slots perfectly into the workflow of all modern businesses and individuals utilising digital design and tools to accomplish their goals. Content produced and techniques used are interchangeable and create more efficient and logical processes for future development.

Not only do these advantages make perfect sense for numerous industries and businesses to utilise, but as advanced additive manufacturing processes rapidly evolve, the applications and services available will grow in number whilst the constraints fall by the way side.

Info form

Advanced manufacturing processes, specifically additive manufacturing which CC3D primarily utilises for object duplication or prototyping, can be used in a number of ways using a number of methods, however there are some general rules that should be applied to all 3D designs that are intended to be printed. To the left is a link to our Design Smarter page for some top tips to be aware of before sending us your designs.
