A 3D printer for faster and more effective quality control
Investing in mechatronics and industry 4.0 is the mantra that accompanies OMCB and has allowed us to remain abreast of the challenges and demands posed by an ever-changing market. That is why, after the summer break, our machine fleet has been expanded to include a machine that is now almost indispensable for companies operating in the mechanical engineering sector: a 3D Printer to realise prototypes and brackets for the quality office. We decided to choose Stratasys F123, a 3D printer specifically designed for the industrial sector that allows user to realise complex components quickly and without interruptions and which OMCB will use to realise:
Precision turned component prototypes
Starting from technical drawings, the 3D Printer Stratasys F123 creates plastic or resin prototypes of the components that will then be produced in steel, metal or copper using machining centres or automatic lathes. This allows us to obtain exceptionally precise and complex prototypes, in record time and perform final tests, measurements, tightness tests, before commencing series production with greater levels of awareness and no time wasted.
Brackets for the quality department
With custom drawings prepared in-house by our technical department, the 3D printer is used to realise plastic brackets and supports that hold the components still during quality control operations performed using equipment like Zeiss Contura or the Jenoptik system. Plastic brackets facilitate quality control operations, achieving more accurate measurements and make the whole process leaner, reducing the use of the machining centres that can now be dedicated exclusively to the realisation of the mechanical components.
Although 2020 has been a difficult year from many points of view, first and foremost due to the Covid-19 health emergency which is still ongoing at present, we did not let this demoralise us and we decided to continue with our investment plan which we are convinced will help us overcome even more insidious obstacles.
