3D Explorer and On-Demand Manufacturing

Empower your team to create fully-functional, full-colour, engineering-grade parts today.

3D printing is still often associated with creating prototypes, but 3D Explorer shows it’s now possible to create durable, cost-effective, on-demand products that allow businesses to cater to their customer’s individual requirements.

With 3D Explorer’s cutting-edge technology, businesses large and small have access to the same production capabilities, whether it’s a one-off R&D item, rapid prototyping or a fullblown production. 3D Explorer gives businesses the ability to print one or one hundred products without sacrificing quality, affordability or time.

This flexibility is desired across many sectors but is especially essential in the healthcare sector, where customised solutions are often required. Such is the case for Korthotics, a leading orthotics service provider which offers off-the-shelf and customised orthotic products to its customers.

However, customised solutions can often become expensive, so when Korthotics needed a durable intricate cranial protective helmet made, they turned to 3D Explorer for help. Now, the helmet did not just need to be light, strong and durable; its surface also had to be smooth and skin-friendly to give the patient a comfortable experience. The team at 3D Explorer was happy to meet the challenge and made the entire process streamlined and easy. All that was required of Korthotics was to upload a 3D printable format file and specify the colour and finish.

And the finish is where 3D Explorer really delivered. As the only company in Australia with the AMT SP50 machine, which offers Vapour Smoothing to most 3D printed parts, they were able not only to manufacture the helmet to the highest standard but also provide the finish Korthotics required. The AMT PostPro Chemical Vapour Smoothing SF50 elevates the aesthetics and functionality of
