APPLICATIONS AND CASE STUDIES APPLICATIONS AND CASE STUDIES

Transparent Materials Look, functionality and quality: pursuing perfection. The use of DWS 3D printers and transparent materials represents the most advanced, fast and satisfying method for prototyping. The creation of transparent or transparent-colored objects is obtained by preserving the required qualities of the material. The materials, purposefully developed and through stereolithographic technology, faithfully reproduce the characteristics of glass, crystal and plastics, also automotive, at the same time granting of strength and accuracy. For example, VITRA boasts superior transparency,...

Elastomers The most advanced solutions for simulating rubbery materials. The research and development of DWS, nowadays, offers to the manufacturing industry and in all sectors of competence the best answer to rapid production and prototyping needs for objects and products’ components with rubber-like or similar characteristics. The performances of black or translucent elastomers, obtained with the use of DWS 3D printers and polymers, is positioned among the highest levels required by the market. Elasticity, elongation and resistance to wear and tear of the models produced, together with many...

Functional Materials Accuracy, range and performances, for products that work. Not only or simply static prototypes, but real objects, working and complying to precise destinations of use; even complex ones. This is the big difference. The major intrinsic value of the productions achievable thanks to DWS technology. Precision and dimensional stability, joined with a series of precious physical-mechanical performances (like the high resolution of DL260 material), mark products that are functional, rapidly developed even in elaborated shapes and geometries, able to be used and tested in accordance...

High Temperature Materials Stability, resistance and printout details at the highest levels. Resolution and the ability to resist to exceptional stresses are the characteristics required from a heat-resistant material and from metal substitutes. The products made with DWS 3D printing technologies and materials precisely simulate the thermal performances of the reference materials, at high temperatures and for several manufacturing cycles, but they can be produced in surprisingly reduced times and costs. The range of resins available is wide and complies with all the different needs for resistance...

Castable Materials Indirect production No limit in designing complex and detailed models. Now you can 3D print clusters* in high resolution for a fully digital innovative workflow. DWS innovative materials for the creation of castable models allow the precise and easy realization of items either of simple geometries or characterized by complex structures, patterns, undercuts, graven and with relief models. Models require very simple procedures after printing and are easy to cast. FUSIA 445 is castable material for DWS stereolithographic printers, developed to produce lost wax casting clusters*....

Direct Manufacturing INVICTA 405 and INVICTA 406, from 3D printing to final market, with no steps in between. Among the ultimate developments of DWS’ research, INVICTA 405 and INVICTA 406 are really revolutionary materials. Their characteristics allow the application of 3D printing systems to direct production in different and important fields, such as that of eyewear, with previously unthinkable results. INVICTA 405 and INVICTA 406 ensure the product an uncommon resistance, combined to a good flexibility and to a perfect memory of the original shape, after bending. The material guarantees, moreover,...

Indirect Manufacturing DM500, high technology resin for new generation processes. THERMA DM500 is a photosensitive material for DWS stereolithographic 3D printers, developed to produce injection molds for plastic materials. It resists to hundreds of cycles at the highest temperatures and under remarkable pressure. This resin eventually fills up the gap between the prototyping world and the manufacturing one, reducing time to market by shrinking mold production times and costs. Thanks to it, in fact, new generations of products can exploit, from the very initial phases or for short batches productions,...

CASE STUDIES CASE STUDIES GEAR VR SAMSUNG VISOR Technology and comfort validated on the prototype. Designer: Samsung Visor for augmented reality, holding a smartphone for 3D video projection. The prototype was made with the 029X printer by using three different materials. The rigid and flexible components, once removed the supports and assembled, create a prototype for the validation of design, before starting mass production. Junction parts and flexible ones have comfortable and smooth surfaces and do not need further surface finishing. 029 X Technology: stereolithographic 3D printer Material:...

CASE STUDIES CASE STUDIES HALFTOYS DIGITALHANDS Details and precision: with 3D printing playtime and education become exclusive. Designer: Jang Seok Youn Halftoys are 3D printed toys, with ludic-educational goals, that can be disassembled and re-assembled. The project originates from the partnership between DigitalHands - HDC Korea and a group of digital artists who explored 3D printing creative potentials. HalfToys were created on XFAB 3500SD and the material Precisa DL260, with the goal of obtaining smooth, precise and detailed surfaces. After the print, components were washed in a water-alcohol...

CASE STUDIES CASE STUDIES ALUX MUSIC AND LIGHT DIFFUSER Speed and precision, proper materials. Interior design today is 3D printed. Designer: Alice Barki Alux is a lamp and, at the same time, a speaker. Born from the ingenuity of Italian designer Alice Barki, inspired by sound waves, Alux finds a second vocation – that of a lamp – in a shape that resembles a vase. Perfect for minimalist and modern environments, Alux allows for the easy control of its functions by means of an app. The music and light speaker has dimensions of 30 x 30 x 30 cm and was produced with XPRO Q, a system that offers the...
