3D Printing for Construction: How to Save Time, Money, and Resources with Additive Manufacturing

At HLH Proto, we take pride in partnering with over 3,000 companies that rely on our comprehensive online additive manufacturing and 3D printing services. With five advanced technologies at our disposal, we specialize in transforming three-dimensional designs into real-world components made of metal, elastomer, and plastic. Our arsenal of over 100 3D printers ensures we can deliver custom parts quickly—often within just a few days. Moreover, our clients don't need to seek post-processing services elsewhere. We offer them in-house to improve both the mechanical properties and the aesthetics of the printed parts.

 

Being at the forefront of additive manufacturing and 3D printing solutions in China, we recognize the transformative impact our services have on the construction industry. 3D printing presents a viable alternative to traditional construction methods because it offers significant savings in time and costs. By choosing to work with us, you'll discover the efficiency and resource savings additive manufacturing brings to your construction projects.

 

 

Visualize projects

 

 

Are you still building scale models the traditional way? This could take plenty of time and effort and may be prone to human error. You can avoid all these with 3D printing. Revit, ArchiCAD, and other modern architecture software can help you visualize your designs and produce 3D drawings we can produce into tangible models using additive manufacturing technologies like fused deposition modeling and  stereolithography (SLA).

 

 

Speedy and cost-effective production

 

 

Additive manufacturing and 3D printing can significantly reduce production times. At HLH Proto, we have the latest high-speed machines with spacious build chambers that can build an entire assembly in one go. If you need custom functional parts or prototypes in specific materials, like 316L stainless steel, aluminum, or titanium, our DMLS 3D printing service can deliver them soon without the need for tooling.

 

 

Minimal waste

 

 

Modern construction companies are looking for ways to minimize waste to save money and resources. 3D printing technologies like selective laser sintering (SLS) can help because they use powdered material (PA 12 or nylon). That means unused powders can be saved for other projects. For other technologies, fully automated robotic arms use only the precise amount of materials needed while building parts one layer at a time.

 

 

Contact our specialists today to learn more about how additive manufacturing and 3D printing can benefit your current or upcoming construction projects. You may also request a quote so we can price your project and help you decide about choosing HLH Proto as your 3D printing partner!

Art of Die-Casting: What Sets It Apart

If you require metal parts or prototypes in larger quantities, there are affordable manufacturing options that can decrease your production time and provide precise outcomes. Die-casting services are a great choice, particularly when you need parts manufactured from magnesium, zinc, or aluminum. You may be wondering: What distinguishes it from other manufacturing services like direct metal laser sintering (DMLS), injection molding, or CNC machining? Continue reading to learn about the process and its advantages.     How die casting works   Die casting follows a similar process to injection molding, but this time, for metals. That means a custom mold will be made based on your part’s design, and it will be installed on the die-casting press. When it’s ready, molten material will be injected at high pressure into the tool cavity. The finished parts can be further processed and finished by anodizing, powder coating, and other ways to meet your requirements. ...

What is SLS 3D printing?

Image
  SLS stands for Selective Laser Sintering, which is a 3D printing method where a polymer or thermoplastic powder is sintered by pointing a laser that transforms the powder into a solid plastic piece. This process is part of the group of Powder Bed Fusion technologies, and it achieves the fusion of the material by layers that represent cross sections of the model built in the CAD/CAM software. Although the explanation above seems to be describing a newly developed technology, the truth is that SLS 3D printing is one of the oldest additive manufacturing methods, first developed in the 80s by doctors Carl Deckard and Joe Beaman at the University of Texas at Austin. As with other 3D printing processes, it all begins with a 3D CAD model that is processed by the software of the printer to generate the layers that will be printed. After that, the SLS 3D printing process takes the following steps: 1.The platform where the piece is printed is located inside a chamber known as the powder bi...

How to Enhance Your Manufacturing Capabilities with 3D Printing and CNC Machining

Additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing) has revolutionized the prototyping and production of end-use parts and assemblies. However, despite this innovation, traditional manufacturing technologies remain invaluable. At HLH Proto, we often blend cutting-edge and time-tested methods such as additive and CNC printing to achieve the best results. This combination proves superior for certain projects and enhances overall manufacturing capabilities. Let us explain how integrating these solutions can elevate your production process:   Faster results Although you can make prototypes from CAD files in injection molding, 3D printing offers creative flexibility to improve designs along the way. Engineers and designers leverage these processes with CAM or CAD files for additive manufacturing. After improving their design with  additive printing , they can apply machining to enhance the part.   Save money   Manufacturing companies want to cut production costs,...
