3T RPD LTD offer parts in METAL

Remaining unchallenged as the UK’s largest Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) provider, 3T RPD Ltd is now leading the way in the supply of metal parts using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS).  Having recently taken delivery of their second EOS M270 metal sintering machine, they have one of the UK’s largest DMLS capabilities. 

Whilst the production of functional prototypes and aesthetic models using the SLS process is still a fundamental part of the company’s remit, 3T’s move into providing metal parts is a timely response to industry demands.  Designers and manufacturers are increasingly seeking the fast, accurate production of durable, complex parts and low volume production components, and DMLS is the cost-effective method of choice as it negates the investment in time and money of conventional tooling.

3T have invested heavily in the necessary premises, machinery and equipment to offer an unparalleled service.  They have increased their already impressive purpose-built 13,000 sq. ft. premises in Newbury by a further 6,000 sq. ft. to accommodate their DMLS facility, as well as employing specialist personnel.  The latest addition to their team is Dr Bruno Le Razer, one of the world’s leading authorities on the production of metal components using DMLS.  With nine years experience in the field, the last two of which have been spent using the EOS M270 machine, he has pioneered a number of new production methods previously thought impossible to achieve.
