Brief

‘Supply product design and 3D CAD design for our new Selective Laser Melting machine. Address issues of cost reduction, size reduction, improved usability and safer powder handling.’

Solutions

Supporting the in house engineering expertise at MTT Group, a world leader in the supply of rapid manufacturing and prototyping machines, 4D Products have been key members in the design engineering team for this innovative selective laser melting machine. Utilising a fibre optic laser to create geometrically complex parts from 3D CAD data in materials such as titanium, aluminium, and stainless steel for the high-tech engineering and medical sectors.

The result

“We recently engaged with 4D Products to supply product design on an 18 month  project to accelerate the development our range of selective laser melting equipment. Working along side our in house development engineers 4D meshed seamlessly to deliver the project on time and within budget”
