3d scanning and printing

This innovation has made incredibly complex designs, previously unimaginable; a possibility, thanks to Whale-Stone's world leading 3D capture and printing technology. From quick-and-dirty prototypes to design modification, the uses for 3D scanning and printing are countless. For instance, in the medical sector, 3D printing has partnered with personalized medicine to produce custom prosthetics or implants that meet every single patient's specifications. Not only does this level of personalization provide better patient outcomes, but it also makes production cheaper than the older ways.

Additionally, 3D scanning is used in aerospace to produce lightweight but robust parts to be taken on board aircraft and spacecraft. These parts can feature complex internal structures which maximize strength and minimize mass, resulting in more cost effective, weight efficient designs that contribute to greater fuel consumption and operation. The automotive industry also takes advantage of 3d printing service with the ability to rapidly prototype new vehicle designs, and print spare parts on-demand while reducing lead time and inventory space.

Explore the endless possibilities of 3D scanning and printing technology

And artists and designers have completely new creative scope with 3D scanning and printing, creating works that would never be possible before. Sculptures, jewelry and fashion accessories can be customized in detail and manufactured very accurately resulting unique and innovative designs. The motion picture industry uses 3D scanning to create special effects for blockbuster movies and video games, creating realistic characters and imaginary worlds that draw people into the imagination for entertainment purposes.

Furthermore, the choice of material is very important in 3D printing for achieving suitable mechanical properties and surface roughness. Also, compatibility between the 3D printer and the selected materials must be taken into account to avoid problems such as warping, lamination, or bad adhesion. Further, post-processing methods (e. g., sanding, painting or polishing) can be necessary to improve the appearance and quality of 3D-printed parts, which will increase fabrication time and labor.
