FDM technology works by melting plastic filament and precisely depositing it layer by layer to build a 3D object. This low-volume production process is ideal for creating functional prototypes and many types of end-use parts. Geofabrica can FDM print parts up to build envelopes of 1000 x 610 x 610 mm (39 x 24 x 24 inches).
Material Versatility : Ability to print with a wide range of thermoplastics, including ABS, PLA, PETG, ASA, PC, carbon fiber ASA, and carbon fiber ABS. This makes it suitable for applications that require specific material properties such as strength or geometric complexity without the need for tooling.
Large Build Volumes: Our FDM systems offer varying build sizes, allowing to produce both small, intricate parts and large components up to several feet in length, making it adaptable to different project needs.
Prototypes and Concept Designs: Reduce engineering time with quick access to full-scale physical prototypes.
Jigs & Fixtures: Rapidly and cost-effectively create jigs and fixtures with complex geometry.
Molds: Create short-run patterns and molds much more quickly and cost effectively than is possible with manufacturing techniques.
SAF technology fuses powder-based materials like Nylon PA 12 layer by layer using heat and light. It’s ideal for complex designs, large batch sizes, and functional prototypes.s.
High-Volume Production: The Stratasys H350 excels in high-volume, short-run manufacturing, providing precise control over materials, workflow, and costs.
Accuracy & Repeatability: SAF delivers parts with exceptional accuracy, making it perfect for intricate designs at scale.
Efficient Nesting: Print multiple parts in a single batch without increasing print time, whether it’s one large part or many small parts.
Automotive & Transportation:Â Sensor housings, HVAC grills, ducts, and more.
Industrial & Packaging:Â Bearing cages, filter housings, brackets, and impellers.
Consumer Goods:Â Sporting equipment, eyewear, consumer electronic
Geofabrica offers 3D printing services for meter-scale thin-wall and thick-wall parts and assemblies. The company uses both in-house and 3rd party printers to make large polymer and composite parts for prototyping, fixturing, tooling, and other industrial applications. Geofabrica also offers design for additive manufacturing services to help clients build and print large-scale structures.
SLA technology uses a laser to cure liquid resin layer by layer into solid parts. It’s known for producing parts with exceptional detail and smooth surface finishes, making it ideal for prototypes, models, and end-use parts that require high accuracy.
High Detail: SLA produces parts with fine details and sharp edges, perfect for intricate designs.
Smooth Surface Finish: The process results in smooth surfaces, reducing the need for extensive post-processing.
Versatile Material Options: SLA supports a variety of resins tailored for specific properties, including clear, flexible, and high-temperature-resistant options.
Prototyping: Detailed prototypes for design validation.
Medical Devices: Surgical guides, hearing aids, and dental models.
Consumer Products: Jewelry, miniatures, and cosmetic packaging.
Engineering: Functional prototypes with tight tolerances and complex geometries.
Geofabrica uses plasma and laser-based directed energy deposition methods to fabricate metallic near-net shape parts with excellent mechanical properties. Parts can be machined after fabrication to achieve high-tolerance geometry where required.
Complex Geometries: Create geometries that are difficult or impossible to produce with conventional methods.
Waste Reduction: Reduce the amount of material that has to be machined away to produce a final part.
Material Variety: Most weldable materials can be additively fabricated.
Tooling: Mold and fixture fabrication and repair with embedded cooling channels. Fast-turn-around tools production.
Non-Critical Componentry: Enclosures, prototypes, heat exchangers.
