Flexibility
Choice of material
e.g. chemical and UV resistance, running properties,
temperature and pressure compatibility.
Sustainability
e.g. bio-based and certified plastics, recyclability,
CO2 reduction, component harmonisation.
Prototyping
e.g. 3D plastic printing, FDM, stereolithography,
SLA, selective laser sintering, SLS.
Simulation
e.g. filling pattern and FEM simulations,
Lighting simulations.
Tool design
Turning, milling and bonding
Global Procurement.
Turning and milling are mechanical processes for machining plastics in which material is removed in order to achieve the desired shape of plastic parts. These processes offer precision and in the production of customised plastic components. Gluing is an effective technology in the field of plastics processing, in which special adhesives are used to join plastic parts together and produce robust assemblies.
The SwissFactory.Group also has a broad network of partners in the field of plastics, which it utilises in particular for turnkey solutions and surface processing.
We currently use the Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) process,
in which the component is built up layer by layer from a meltable
plastic. The raw material is unwound from a spool in the form of
a filament. Our two FDM printers are currently running 12 hours a day.
