3D PRINTING
SERVICES
Tours Manufacturing has extensive experience in 3D printing, allowing us to deliver a full range of 3D printing services. We are able to not only offer both FDM and Polyjet technologies, but also advice and consultation on how to best utilise 3D printing to achieve the right solution for your business.
Our 3D printing services include; lightweight FDM printing perfect for cost-effective prototyping; PolyJet printing for multi-material, high accuracy, high finish, complex components; and even Carbon Fiber FDM for application requiring high strength and durability.
Our in-house 3D design engineers have the knowledge and expertise to help you produce creative solutions to your 3D design needs.
A 3D printed filling assembly on Torus’ B304 Top Load & Volume System.
The assembly is a complex construction of water channels, inserts and electrodes that allows water to flow in and out during bottle volume and crush resistance testing. Four separate parts have all been combined into one sturdy structure without any support materials required. The manifold and nozzle for the new filling assembly took less than a week to design and each complete part can be printed in 19 hours, to an average accuracy of 50 microns, using VeroClear – a rigid material providing excellent detail and dimensional stability.
