Bridge Manufacturing

Transition from rapid prototyping to mass production with additive manufacturing. By using additive manufacturing as a bridge to traditional production, companies can order low-volume runs of their parts at an affordable price—without molds or tooling. With the ability to prototype and test products in the marketplace, companies can perfect their designs before investing in injection molding or machining.

Additive Manufacturing Capabilities

At Primary Mfg, we specialize in additive manufacturing and 3D printing technology. We have a variety of additive production processes each with their own materials and advantages. There is a range of materials to choose from, and every part we produce, no matter the process, has a high-quality, production-level finish.

 

Digital Light Production (DLP)

 

Digital Light Production (DLP) with the Figure 4 from 3D Systems provides an alternative to injection molding. Parts built with DLP have high-performance properties and production-level finishes.

 

Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP)

 

Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP) from Carbon DLS uses light and oxygen to build plastic parts with quality surface finishes, amazing mechanical properties, and isotropic strength.

 

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)

 

HP Multi Jet Fusion uses ink jet technology and infrared heat to build plastic parts from a powder. Get cost-effective and detailed plastic components consistent finishes and strength.

 

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF)

 

Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) uses a laser to melt metal powder particles into a solid part. Get production-grade 3D printed metal parts with properties comparable to wrought metal and a quality surface finish.

 

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

 

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is great for visual prototypes and models. Using production-level extrusion, customers can get plastic prototypes quickly and economically.

 

Advantages of Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process which produces a part one layer at a time. The nature of the process enables engineers to create innovative parts with complex geometries—unlocking designs which would have otherwise been impossible. As a cost-effective method of low volume production, additive manufacturing is perfect for companies needing short run manufacturing, prototyping, or difficult to produce parts.
