3D PRINTING CAPABILITIES

HOWARD COUNTY APPLICATIONS

  • FDM and SLA/resin printing for prototypes, functional components, and custom parts

  • Print preparation and optimization to review orientation, geometry, supports, fit, and finish

  • Material and process selection based on the part’s function and operating conditions

  • Prototype iteration and fit checks to evaluate form, fit, and function before production

  • Virtual Reality Visualization to experience a part at full scale in its intended space before it is produced.

  • Light metal fabrication for small components that support or complement 3D-printed parts

  • Part inspection and testing to check fit, function, and project requirements

  • Production quality control to support your team during manufacturing runs

  • Packaging and logistics coordination to help move completed parts where they need to go

Bauen’s 3D printing and production support can assist at all different stages of a project, from working with you developing a part to supporting its use in production.

  • Product development and engineering: Prototype components, enclosures, and fit-check parts help teams evaluate designs and fit within assemblies or spaces.

  • Manufacturing and maintenance: Custom fixtures, tool holders, equipment covers, organizers, and replacement components for specific equipment and workflows. Light metal fabrication can add companion parts when printing alone isn’t enough.

  • Marine and fabrication projects: Fit-check mockups, fabrication templates, and non-safety-critical housings or replacement parts, with material suitability considered.

  • Production and order support: We can perform agreed inspections and quality checks, then coordinate packaging and shipping—supporting the entire workflow around the parts.
