The Products Of Solid Concepts 3D Printing

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.

The company is private and also a company for rapid prototyping. This company involves engineering and also production. This company is also a service provider of additive manufacturing and also a manufacturer of industrial designs and equipment, foundry cast patterns, equipment and devices for medical use, aerospace, transportation parts, business products, and unmanned systems.

But it really focuses only to 3D printing by rapid prototyping. By last year, they were able to produce a 3D metal gun, and they call it 1911 pistol. Powdered metals with a direct metal laser sintering was used in the production. Global press became so much interested when this first printing of their metal gun was made.

It was really a functional gun, and it was even fired 500 times in its endurance test. It was made up of inconel ingredients and stainless steel. And its hand grip is is made up of a carbon fiber filled of nylon which is decorated with laser sintering. Each gun part has utilized the sintered direct metal laser except for the gun springs.

This made the company think and wish that with this product, it would motivate printing concepts to be viable solutions in any modern manufacturing today. The company aims to apply their novelty for customers who are looking for a custom printed weapons. And by this, they proved reliability, usability, and accuracy of metal printing by developing this product.

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.

Some people might ask of why other people has to have a customized one. There can only be two answers for this question. One is the electronic components in the future can be easily printed to objects, such as the gun. And the second is for some safety reasons, wherein the only one that can hold it is the owner, and a finger print recognition will be used for knowing whoever uses it.
