Healthcare
Traditional manufacturing simply does not move at the same speed as healthcare innovation. That’s why more and more medical device producers are creating their prototypes and final products using 3D print technology.
3D printing technology creates high-density, low-porosity parts. We use PA-12 nylon, a versatile thermoplastic ideal for complex assemblies, housings, enclosures, and watertight applications.
Finished parts also exhibit strong chemical resistance that allows medical implements to stand up to environmental pressures over time. With low-volume runs of up to 1,000 pieces, you can quickly build and refine prototypes, and cost savings help make your final product more affordable and accessible to a wider range of people.
Roadrunner 3D takes a collaborative approach. We’re invested in helping you bring your vision to reality.
Healthcare and medical device applications for our 3D print digital manufacturing center include:
- rapid prototyping
- braces and limbs
- various external medical devices
- teaching tools and learning models
- implements for medical procedures
Aerospace & Automotive
You can meet the demand for faster innovation and sustainability by shifting your prototyping and modeling to a 3D digital manufacturing center. Integrating additive manufacturing into manufacturing protocols helps enhance both the process and the product.
Additive manufacturing improves agility. It allows you to create individual parts with mixed materials, even with the most complex geometry. With optimized and consolidated parts, you can achieve OPTIMUM functionality and structure while also reducing part count and weight.
Additive manufacturing increases efficiency. We work from your CAD models alone with no tooling required. That means not only faster testing and refining, but also just-in-time production and repairs.
A few applications utilizing Additive Manufacturing:
Aerospace
- Functional/rapid prototyping
- Brackets
- Light fixtures
Automotive
- Molds for pieces (headrests)
- Internal decor/features (cup holders)
- Reverse-engineered parts for older vehicles
Federal & Defense Agencies
Federal agencies are poised to reduce costs and increase efficiencies using the power of additive manufacturing. Additive technologies are accelerating the digital reinvention of global manufacturing for ultra-durable parts and products.
Outsourcing your smaller-scale production runs give you the flexibility of rapid turnaround without compromising on precision. 3D printing in a secure facility allows you to more quickly test parts and designs, and then move seamlessly into production once the prototypes have been validated.
Applications AND Benefits
- custom parts/housing for lab-created projects/experiments
- exact replicas for firearms training and more
- accelerated product design
- shorter production cycles
- more flexibility
- secure supply chains
- robust materials and advanced technology
Consumer Goods
If you can dream it, we can create it. More than a manufacturer, Roadrunner 3D helps you bring your vision to reality with design support, rapid prototyping capabilities, and state-of-the-art 3D printing technology. Small batch and prototyping runs allow you to produce and refine multiple iterations of a product and then go to market with lower inventory costs.
3D printing technology breaks free of traditional manufacturing constraints. Using our high-quality materials, you can quickly produce complex parts and assemblies with features including weather tightness, low porosity, and low weight to reduce distribution costs. Any product or part suitable for production with high-density thermoplastic will be enhanced with Multi Jet Fusion technology.
Create new everyday items or reverse-engineer existing items to create a custom product. With a finalized design, dyeing, painting, and plating services give you a wide variety of options for the surface appearance and functionality to meet market demands.
Work with our technicians to achieve:
- increased design complexity
- improved mechanical properties
- scalability and faster time to market
- hidden parts and seamless housings
- greater process and operation controls
- rapid prototyping and multiple iteration capabilities
- lower unit pricing due to lower production costs
Entertainment
Fast production, reduced uncertainty, and precise results should be a regular part of creating the perfect show. Today, nearly every part of costume, prop, set, and exhibit creation can be completed or enhanced with 3D printing technology and custom finishing.
Fast turnaround keeps your projects on schedule while allowing for greater experimentation, and lower per-unit cost helps keep budgets on track. Print accurate, realistic props for live-action, or produce a precise fit built from CGI data. Finish parts to match any set or stage. Print in full color, black, white, or clear. Finishing services suited to arts and entertainment include dyeing, painting, plating, ceramic coating, electroplating, and blasting for the perfect finish.
Roadrunner 3D is committed to helping grow the thriving and innovative industries in our community. Work with a certified New Mexico Independent Business to create functional, reliable elements that help bring stories to life and make a one-of-a-kind impression on audiences.
Whether you need 50 copies of one prop, or 50 different perfect props, our digital manufacturing center can help you create them.
