3D Printing or Additive Manufacturing
3D printing is a cost-effective and efficient process for creating three dimensional solid objects by adding layers of materials using computer-aided design (CAD), so it is also referred to as additive manufacturing. In contrast to subtractive manufacturing processes that remove materials to create parts, 3D printing enables complex parts to be shaped using less material thereby saving significant manufacturing costs.
The applications for 3D printing are numerous. Typically, it is perfect solution for building prototypes and small batch production. That is because 3D printing can help improve product development process and shorten the time for working on complex designs.
- Consumer goods: shoes, housewares, furniture, glasses
- Industrial products: prototypes, manufacturing tools
- Dental products: dental molds, dentures, surgical guides, clear aligners
- Prosthetics: prosthetic limbs, orthotic braces
- Architecture: scale models, maquettes
- Archaeology & museum: reconstructing fossils, replicating historical artifacts
- Forensics: reconstructing evidence for forensic investigation and crime-solving
- Filming: movie props
- At Hongyan Hang we provide rapid prototyping service based on our 3D printing process, through which we are capable of helping you prototyping or manufacturing complex investment castings within a tight deadline, thus greatly shortening your overall development time.
- For single part or multiple parts manufacturing, we use combined processes of 3D printing and CNC machining for quick response to customer needs.
- For mass production of dozens or even hundreds of parts, we will help customer identify the best solution that is precisely oriented to the characteristics of product by appropriately using 3D printing, molding, sand casting, lost wax casting and other manufacturing processes.
