Understand 3D Printing at The REKA Lab

3D Printing is the new normal

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a technology that creates three-dimensional objects by layering materials (such as plastic, metal, or resin) based on digital design files. It enables rapid prototyping, customisation, and the production of complex and intricate shapes, making it valuable across various industries, from manufacturing and healthcare to art and education.

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) Technology

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is a 3D printing technique that constructs objects by melting and layering thermoplastic material through a nozzle. It's cost-effective, extensively utilized, and favored for swift prototyping, tailored designs, and functional component manufacturing. Here, at The REKA Lab, we use FDM technique to make 3D printing accessible to diverse industries and users, including you.

Materials for FDM 3D printing

FDM stands out as a highly efficient choice for the rapid and cost-effective production of plastic components. The process of crafting plastic components via 3D printing entails the precise layer-by-layer assembly, setting it apart from subtractive CNC plastic machining. With a wide array of polymer materials available, 3D printing proves ideal for a multitude of applications, including prototyping and small-scale production runs.
