Solid Concepts 3D Printing And Some Of Its Other Services

By Ruth Green


3D printing is a process of transforming a concrete object into a realistic model through setting down several thin layers of a certain material. This is called as the additive process. This starts in making virtual designs of a certain object that you want. The virtual design is a computer aided design file. The CAD file is being produced through the use of a modeling application or a scanner.

Different technologies such as volumetric scanning, time of flight, and modulated or structured flight are used by scanners to make the model. There are a lot of big companies already who are using 3D scanning for a hardware, and thus, it can be concluded that digitizing objects in the near future will be very much easy. Solid concepts 3D printing is aiming on producing more real designs that are affordable and are produced in a fastest way.

It is a privately owned rapid prototyping company. It is also engaged in engineering and production. The company also is an additive manufacturing service provider and manufacturer of business products, unmanned systems, aerospace, transportation parts, foundry cast patterns, medical devices and equipment, and as well as industrial design and equipment.

But it purely focuses on rapid prototyping or 3D printing. Last year, they created their first metal gun which is 3D and they called it as 1911 pistol. They use powdered metals with sintered metal laser in production. The global press have so much interest in this metal gun when it first came out.

The gun is fully working and was being fired for about 500 times during its endurance test. The gun is made up of stainless steel and some inconel components that is garnished with a laser sintered nylon hand grip filled with carbon fiber. Each part has been utilizing metal laser sintering procedure, except for the springs.

After this production, the company thinks and wishes to bring a motivation for printing concepts and would make workable solutions for modern manufactures today. The company also wishes to bring their originality to people who wanted to have custom printed weapons. And through the development of this product, they can prove accuracy, usability, and as well as reliability of metal printing.

After creating the 1911 printed pistol, they created a sequel. They created a new pistol design which is known as the reason. The pistol was made via a stainless steel metal laser and inconel powder. As compared to 1911, this gun has so much improvements when it comes to the details.

The reason is consists of many smooth features. It is partially hollow in its hammer and trigger. Its trigger is consist of the initials of the subsidiary project manager of firearms. The front grip is consist of the introduction of independence declaration.

Many people would ask of why is there a need for some people to have a customized gun. And one simple answer to this is that in the future, wherein electronic components can be printed easily to objects, guns can be tailored to an individual. And also for safety reasons in which only the owner of the gun can fire it, and whoever uses it can be found with the use of a finger print recognition.
