An extrusion based 3d modeling process that utilizes, actual ABS or Polycarbonate plastic. Excellent thermal properties and RF friendly.

FDM is C.ideas inc.'s primary in-house and preferred 3d printing service. Perfect for fit, function & conceptual models that require durability and higher temperatures.

C.ideas is the first Service Bureau in North America with the new Objet Eden 500V. There are 5 different acrylic photopolymer materials; three of which are rigid and two, which are elastomers.

PolyJet is "SLA like" in output and deposits layers at an astonishing .0005" vertical slice. This allows for smoother contours and finer features than previously achieved by any other process.

The PolyJet materials are stronger than most commonly used SLA resins and can be primed, painted, plated & used as patterns.

An acrylic photopolymer material, deposited by an inkjet "like" head with a .0017" layer slice height.

Although not as accurate as other processes listed here, MJM is great for inexpensive and smaller designs, extremely detailed parts or assemblies. The material has a polypropylene "like", feel & finish with a slight wax residue.

A laser based process that solidifies a photopolymer epoxy resin.

Due to the softer material surface properties, SLA has a high resolution and is most commonly used as patterns for rubber tooling. Often sanded, painted, & plated.

The 11120 SLA parts can be polished (great for lenses), elastomer "like" materials are available as well.

Ideal when you need multiple Prototypes that mimic the aesthetics, colors and material properties of a production part.

Silicone molds are created from a primed and sanded FDM, PolyJet, SLA or CNC'd prototype. The mold is injected with Urethane material and cured. Urethane is available in many different flavors, such as; Clear, Flexible, Temperature specific & UV protection.

Parts can be color matched and offer great flexibility for quantities that need to represent small production.
