Profile: San-Tech focuses on product development technologies, from early concept models, through tooling and production. Rapid prototyping is the process of creating three-dimensional models of a product design directly from computer-aided design (CAD) files. This procedure significantly shortens the time needed to develop actual working models from weeks to days or even minutes depending on the geometry of the part and the technology used. RP parts are used to verify form, fit and function, and to evaluate fixture design and tool choices before expensive metal parts are manufactured. We use a variety of thermoset urethane resins that have low shrink rate and physical properties similar to thermoplastics. We also offer molded-in color, painting, silk screening and RFI coatings. Two injection molding facilities provide flexibility in running all types of thermoplastic materials. Tooling facility provides the flexibility needed to produce a wide variety of molds, from prototype tooling to multiple cavity high volume production molds. We also build various rapid prototyping tooling for cast urethane components and limited volume injection molding applications. 3D systems stereolithography apparatus includes an SLA 500/30H with solid state laser capabilities that enable us to build parts as small as a telephone jack or as large as an engine block.
