Consistent and Repeatable Quality: From 1 to 1000+ parts
Additive manufacturing is not solely about creating prototypes; it’s about delivering unparalleled flexibility, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness across all stages of production. Our 3D printing batch production services are meticulously designed to offer total manufacturing flexibility, which is vital for industries that demand rapid turnaround times and uncompromising precision.
Whether you require a single part or over a thousand reliable components, our cutting-edge additive manufacturing capabilities enable us to produce parts on demand, allowing you to meet tight deadlines without compromising on quality.
Case Study: Motorsport engine cooling components
AnyShape’s digital 3D printing batch production service is integral to one of our long-term clients in the motorsport industry. For several years, this client has relied on our expertise to design and manufacture engine cooling components for various competition vehicles. Using Direct Metal Sintering (DMS) with aluminum, we produce parts to order with exceptional precision. DMS allows us to create complex geometries and lightweight structures that traditional manufacturing methods simply cannot achieve.
Using our additive manufacturing technologies, the process begins with the creation of metal prototypes. Once the final design has been approved, these prototypes are rigorously tested on the track, allowing the client to identify and address potential weaknesses early in the development process. This iterative approach ensures that by the time the design moves into full-scale production, it has been fully optimized for performance, durability, and efficiency. The result is a batch of engine cooling components that not only meet but exceed the demanding requirements of motorsport applications.
