3D Printing for Digital Prototyping and Modeling

Simply owning a 3D printing machine doesn't
mean one is qualified to create working prototypes.

Engineers desire to present their ideas to companies that may take an interest in their products. To do so, many turn to digital printing to produce working, stable prototypes.  Problems arise however, when trying to find a company that has the capabilities to produce the superior results designers and engineers require.

Models Versus Simple Files

Schematics, drawings, sketches and various 2D representations are fine when at the beginning stage of product development, but serious engineers will want to have a more tangible concept to hand inventors when the time comes. Why leave an idea to the imagination of people who may not fully get the concept, especially if we are talking about a new form of technology that may be hard to explain.

While it isn't wholly necessary to have a a working model of your design, if at all possible, making the item as functional as one can may assist interested parties in ascertaining the market potential of a given gadget, product or device.

3D printing comes to the rescue, giving engineers, designers and related craftsman the ability to actualize their projects in a fast efficient manner.

How It's Done

The amazing thing about digital prototype creation is not only the speed of creation, but how exacting and precise it can be. The process begins with an engineer's or designer's image files, which are then re-evaluated and manipulated, usually via a CAD or Computer Aided Design process. This phase of the process can be culled from a variety of files, one need ask the company what they can utilize for optimum results.

The next step is to a launch said design in a 3D Modeling platform/software. In cases where a product already exists in a rudimentary form, a 3D scanner could be used. As the length of time spent on the project can vary depending on size and scale, the build can take a few hours or even a few days (to build up parts from design specs). Expert engineers in the field of 3D modeling and printing know this and can give adequate estimates of the time frames required for a precision model comp.

Who to Trust

Many pop up shops are trying to cash in on the relatively new phenomenon of consumer grade mass produced 3d printing products, but don't be fooled. Simply owning a 3D printing machine doesn't mean one is qualified to create working prototypes. If you want to ensure that your concept is actualized to even the minutest of details, you will want confider a shop that specializes in CNC milling and EDM machining.

Why?

CNC/EDM machinists have the know-how and expertise to bring products to roaring life. They are largely used to crafting items to exacting measurements and specifications so the concept will come as close to the end product design as reasonably possible. The best shops also employ the use of quality controls in their post production phase so that the model meets satisfactory standards/conditions.

Tight Deadlines are Arbiser's Specialty

One of the many things customers love about Arbiser Machine is the fact that we produce excellent result quickly. Indeed, one never has to sacrifice quality for speed, as we can turnaround even the tightest deadlines.

Business moves at the speed of light, so manufacturers have to be able to keep up with both supply and demand in order to keep industrial cogs turning. We at Arbiser understand this fundamental principle, which is why we strive to produce client’s models and prototypes to spec in a fair time frame. Decades of experience and expert machinists are the primary reason why we function so efficiently, as these factors often play a large part in making sure deadlines are met and product quality remains assured.

Is ISO Certification Important? Yes, Don't Be Fooled By Imitators

There is a big difference between compliance
and certification/registration.

When a business decides to obtain ISO:9001:2008 certification, they have told clients that they care about the global community and the needs of the global marketplace.

For companies that utilize CNC and EDM milling to create and manufacture products for various industries, complying with International Standards is a terrific way to build confidence in your company’s brand.

How so?

ISO registration is not easily acquired and is only obtained after rigorous guidelines have been established. Due to this, consumers as well as any company that wants to do business with an ISO 9001 certified corporation can rest assured that they will receive the best quality deliverables their money can buy.

International Standards are also mindful of the environment and expects companies carrying this particular type of certification to observe governmental regulations, especially in regards to green energy sustainability.

Because safety is paramount, particularly when it comes to the manufacture of consumer grade goods, any company that has obtained ISO 9001:2008 certification can be said to care about the general well being of the population as well as their employees.

Of course, with increased customer satisfaction comes increased financial potential, another added benefit of certification.

Increased Efficiency Equals Faster Output

Employing the use of tried and tested International Standards ensures that products are not only manufactured quickly, but efficiently. The requirements of the certification establish work flows and environments that are conducive to organization. Organization often translates to increased workplace safety. Quality controls can also be implemented which, in the engineering and machinist fields, is an extremely important production requirement.

As stated previously, increasing safety and efficiency can greatly speed up production, which aids in finishing all important projects faster. Engineers rely on speedy turn around, so they are more apt to give their business to a company who can meet their deadlines in a timely fashion. This is why they often prefer dealing with institutions that have ISO 9001:2008 certification, as most machining shops that have this are most likely set up to meet their needs.

Obtaining the ISO 9001:2008 certification then becomes very important in securing long term business in the manufacturing field.

Properly Establishing ISO Credentials

When indicating your ISO registration status, there is a proper and improper way of doing so. For instance, simply saying one is ISO certified or has received ISO certification or is ISO certified is not right…it is best to state that you are “ISO 9001:2008 certified" or that you have an "ISO 9001:2008 certification".

Arbiser Machine Meets ISO Standards

Arbiser Machine applied for ISO certification in 2002 and obtained full certification in 2003.  Arbiser has maintained it’s certification ever since, in an effort assure potential clients of their commitment to quality and precision product manufacture.

Don’t Be Fooled by Imitators

Many CNC and EDM milling companies will claim to be ISO complaint, but the reality is that such companies are not being completely honest. As we established previously, there is a big difference between compliance and certification/registration.

It pays to vet out any CNC/EDM machining company prior to placing your precision designs and specs in their hands. If you want to make sure you will receive quality deliverables, trust a ISO 9001:2008 certified company like Arbiser Machine to get the job done.
