Quick-Take | Laser Sintering
Laser Sintering from Spectrum Plastics Group on Vimeo.
Laser Sintering (LS) is a process that uses a laser beam to selectively melt a heated powder. It's done layer by layer, in .005'' (.120mm) layers.
The process is analogous to Stereolithography, but instead of a vat of resin, there is an exchangeable frame filled with Nylon powder. In both LS and SLA, the material is solidified using a laser beam.
RTV Molding

We can turn your CAD files into beautiful, dimensionally accurate multiples very quickly, using the RTV molding process. Many material options are available, from soft elastomeric Shore A materials to rigid, fire-retardant Shore D materials.
Insert Molding
Insert Molding from Spectrum Plastics Group on Vimeo.
Insert molding provides customers with a lower cost alternative to other manufacturing methods by reducing assembly and labor and increases product reliability as parts are secured tightly into thermoplastic to provide added strength by consolidating parts. Our micro insert molding capabilities extend those benefits even further, from electronic sub assemblies, to complex components, even implantable assemblies for medical applications.
