3D MODELLING AND PRINTING BUILDING BETTER, FASTER FOR LESS
Capitalising on the latest advances in 3D printing technology, SPP Pumps is one of the few pump manufacturers routinely using this fast-track technique. 3D printing o ers many bene ts when creating new or replacement parts. These include: • Rapid prototyping – modelling to ensure components t and function before investing in standard manufacturing processes. • Saving time – allowing fast design re nement before entering production.
• Reducing cost – reducing advanced tooling and testing costs by producing 3D printed prototypes.
REVERSE/RE ENGINEERING CAPTURE, IMPROVE PERFORMANCE THEN RECREATE.
Using 3D digital capture technology, SPP Pumps’ reverse engineering capabilities allow any component to be copied and manufactured as an exact replacement. The process also provides the opportunity to add value - to enhance, update or modify the original to improve performance. RECREATE: COMPONENTS AND EQUIPMENT WITHIN THE SAME FOOTPRINT Commission exact replica components made to your OEM’s original speci cations and tolerances. With the latest mobile laser scanners, SPP Pumps can reverse-engineer complex components of any size into 3D models for manufacture. Worn or broken parts are scanned on-site, minimising downtime.
IMPROVE: COMPONENTS AND BEST DESIGN WITHIN THE SAME FOOTPRINT Use the reverse engineering process to improve and enhance original equipment speci cations. Improve equipment e ciency, reduce running costs, lower noise and enhance performance and lifespan. SPP Pumps regularly re-engineers shafts, impellers, wear rings, casings and rotary equipment. REGENERATE: LOST DATA Recreate information from original drawings, patterns and tooling that are lost or misplaced. Once collated, data is safely held for servicing and creating replacement spare parts for matching machines in use. MANUFACTURE: 3D SAND CASTING SPP Pumps creates extremely high quality sand castings quickly and cost-e ectively. 3D sand cores, sand moulds and patterns are automatically generated directly from the CAD model – much faster and more detailed process than making conventional wooden, resin or aluminium moulds. Supporting complex component detail and superior surface nish.
