CDG 3D Tech Opens New Basingstoke Additive Manufacturing Centre
Basingstoke Showroom
Concurrent Design Group | CDG 3D TECH, headquartered in Hampshire, is an impartial UK provider of business 3D printers and scanners, software program, post-processing tools, consumables, coaching, companies, and help. It just lately expanded with the opening of an Additive Manufacturing Centre in Basingstoke, which features a showroom, service centre, warehouse, materials testing space, a retailer for consumable purchases and cargo, and extra. The centre, which is complimentary to the corporate’s websites in Derby and Alton, affords a variety of AM applied sciences, together with stereolithography (SLA), selective laser melting (SLM), fused filament fabrication (FFF), Nylon selective laser sintering (SLS), clay liquid deposition modeling (LDM), and fused granulate fabrication (FGF). The ability’s location is advantageous resulting from its highway and railway hyperlinks to the South West, South East, and the Midlands, so facilitating shipments of consumables and 3D printers can be simpler. Extra workers have been employed to help this enlargement, and extra appointments are deliberate.
“Whereas 3D printing is now nicely established within the UK, Additive Manufacturing is barely just lately being adopted by normal manufacturing firms. By opening our new AM Centre, we can showcase the very newest industrial 3D printers and post-processing, in order that we might help our UK prospects to fabricate in metallic, polymers and ceramics,” mentioned Grant Cameron, founder and managing director of CDG 3D TECH.
“We have now all the time stayed forward of the newest {industry} developments. This new facility permits us to deal with bigger machines, so we are able to proceed to share our experience with UK producers and supply the coaching, help and companies to assist them to learn from industry-leading applied sciences and supplies, minimising their manufacturing prices, shortening time to market, and maximising their return on funding.”
