PADT can now deliver between 2,000-5,000 parts in one week with Carbon 3D printing technology.
Arizona-based engineering product and services company, Phoenix Analysis and Design Technologies (PADT) has announced the launch of its on On-Demand Manufacturing facility with Carbon.
As a certified Production Partner of the Silicon Valley 3D printing company, PADT can now deliver between 2,000–5,000 parts in one week, using Carbon’s additive manufacturing technology and production system.
“Since we started in 3D Printing almost 25 years ago, we have dreamed of the day that we could use additive manufacturing to move beyond prototyping and deliver production parts to our customers when they need them, the way they need them,” said Rey Chu, co-founder and principal, PADT. “Carbon’s DLS technology has made this possible by giving us a faster process that creates parts with the same properties as injection moulding.”
Considered to be the Southwest's first true "3D Printing factory", PADT's Digital Manufacturing Facility is now open to customers.
Carbon’s proprietary technology, known as CLIP (Continuous Liquid Interface Production), uses digital light projection, oxygen permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce parts with excellent mechanical properties, resolution and surface finish.
“Our goal is to deliver true, scalable digital fabrication across the globe, enabling creators to design and produce previously unmakeable products, both economically and at scale,” said Dana McCallum, head of Production Partnerships at Carbon. “PADT has a long history in the industry and a strong reputation for engineering excellence. We’re thrilled to have them as a certified Carbon production partner.”
Considered to be the Southwest’s first true “3D Printing factory,” PADT’s Digital Manufacturing Facility is now open to customers. PADT’s on-demand manufacturing is complemented by in-house product development, inspection, simulation and injection moulding expertise. All parts are produced under PADT’s quality system and its in-house CNC machining capabilities allow engineers to complete critical features on-site.
