3-D Prototyping Web App Offered by Creabis

MUNICH, Dec. 5 2014 — Creabis 3-D configurator

Creabis GmbH now offers rapid laser-based 3-D printing prototyping and manufacturing through a new Web application.

Its 3-D configurator can be integrated into websites to help companies offer customized products. The Web browser application allows users without CAD experience to configure the size and design of a component by using simple feature lists. An example can be found at OKW Gehausesysteme GmbH’s website, www.concept-case.com.

After the design is complete, the final STL file is transferred to Creabis for fabrication, and the customer receives the object after two or three days.

Creabis owns several 3-D printers for laser sintering, stereolithography, PolyJet and fused deposition modeling. The company also offers post-processing, including metal coating, coloring or varnishing.

Glossary

3d printing: 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), is a manufacturing process that builds three-dimensional objects layer by layer from a digital model. This technology allows the creation of complex and customized structures that would be challenging or impossible with traditional manufacturing methods. The process typically involves the following key steps: Digital design: A three-dimensional digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software. This...
additive manufacturing: Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a manufacturing process that involves creating three-dimensional objects by adding material layer by layer. This is in contrast to traditional manufacturing methods, which often involve subtracting or forming materials to achieve the desired shape. In additive manufacturing, a digital model of the object is created using computer-aided design (CAD) software, and this digital model is then sliced into thin cross-sectional layers. The...
