ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
From design, to mass production.
ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Our Additive division covers the entire process, from “Design for Additive” to prototype and small series production.
We use the most effective technologies available, such as HP’s Multi Jet Fusion, EOS Selective Laser Sintering, MARKFORGED Continuous Fiber, and STRATASYS Fused Deposition Modeling. Our mechanical designers are trained to get the most out of Additive Manufacturing and achieve machining with advanced techniques and structures resulting in parts that are functional, robust, and produced with maximum efficiency.
Increasingly complex demands from designers
They pushed us to approach the additive manufacturing revolution. The latter differs from traditional processing technologies because it does not remove material from the blank but instead achieves highly complex three-dimensional details through the progressive deposition of layers of material, eliminating the geometric constraints of traditional printing methods.
In-house synergy with our machine shop allows the part to be CNC machined to achieve the tolerances required by the specific application with greatly reduced lead times compared to standard production and with often comparable mechanical properties.
PROMEL is able to guarantee its own high quality standards
Even for parts produced with Additive technology thanks to its own Integrated Quality System, in-house metrology laboratory and the support of an external metallographic laboratory .
The available materials vary according to the available technology, in general we can make parts in both plastic and metal on which multiple surface finishes can be made according to the customer’s specific needs such as: Sandblasting, Painting, Polishing etc….
MATERIALS AND APPLIED SOLUTIONS
TPU
TPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer. It is elastic, flexible and has a high degree of elongation at break. It absorbs impact, dampens vibration and offers excellent resistance to abrasion and high temperatures.
It offers excellent elasticity and flexibility as well as abrasion and cut resistance and good resistance to oils and greases.
PA12
PA12 is a thermoplastic polymer known commercially as “nylon 12.” It offers high mechanical, thermal and chemical resistance. It is bio-compatible and can be used in multiple applications both functional and aesthetic.
Nylon has very interesting mechanical properties, welds well to itself making additive manufacturing “layers “less visible on the surface. Nylon requires high molding temperatures, above 250°, and is very sensitive to moisture requiring more care than other polymers during processing.”
