Within Antech Solutions we have multiple 3D printing technologies for different materials and application in house. Besides prototyping 3D printing for end use applications is possible when you choose the right material and technology.
A great example is this camera frame. Together with the customer we designed the frame with ergonomics and light weight as the highest priorities. The ergonomic design consists of 8 corner pieces with 4 different designs. We have printed the individual corner pieces out of Polyamide with chopped carbon fibers in it. After the printing process the pieces were assembled with 1mm thick carbon fiber tubes to keep the weight low.
