THE SUPERIOR 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY FOR industrial parts

OXFAB® technology is ideally suited for end-market industrial applications where functional complexity and weight reduction have a substantial, positive impact on performance, while also yielding cost and energy savings. Our high-performance 3D printed products have met the highest standards in aerospace - including the industry’s only published B-Basis allowables on additively manufactured thermoplastic components - and deliver sustained value for automotive, energy and other industries.

Mechanical

Robust, predictable mechanical properties

Line graph showing the relationship between temperature in Fahrenheit and stress in KSI for three types of Oxford Fused Amorphous Boron (OXFAB): ESD-R made from recycled oxfab with 15% milled carbon fiber, ESD-V made from oxfab with 15% carbon fiber, and NEAT unfilled oxfab. The stress decreases as temperature increases for all three materials.

Thermal+

  • High Tg extends operating range

  • Superior electrical insulator

  • Effectively free of volatiles

Services

Sometimes printing is only half of the challenge. Let us bring your product development across the finish line with services provided by OPM’s in-house team and our expert partners.

Finish Machining

Fine features and tight tolerances can be easily achieved with post machining. Additional finishing operations such as laser part etching can also be provided.

Inspection

Inspection reports are generated for critical dimensions, ensuring that all parts meet agreed-upon specifications.

Design

Not familiar with designing for additive manufacturing? Worry not! Our in-house designers are here to provide general guidance or comprehensive design services.

Polishing

Smooth surface finishes can be achieved through a variety of polishing, finishing and other surface treatment options.
