Prototyping and 3D printing
Voss has several selected partners who are experts in rapid prototyping. We also have our own 3D printer that can print in two materials at the same time with high accuracy.
In addition, we perform laser cutting of various materials as well as manual bending of parts that are punched and spot welded, so that the function of the items can be tested on a small scale before demand for tools for finished production tools begins.
Expected time it takes for a fully functional prototype is between 1-4 weeks depending on how complex the part/product is.
Voss industri always offers measurements of prototypes we produce, and can also carry out
individual product tests. The product can be salt spray tested for corrosion protection & tension/compression tested for measuring strength. We can also provide a simple test of stresses in molded plastic parts & hardness of hardened material and measurements of coating thickness in collaboration with our external partners. We also offer mold flow analyzes on molds for metal and plastic parts.
