An AME Prototypes product story

AME Prototype Solutions have recently added to their RP offering by now supplying prototype parts in highly rigid, thermal-resistant materials.

AME Prototype Solutions have recently added to their RP offering by now supplying prototype parts in highly rigid, thermal-resistant materials.

From July '06 AME has added the material Accura Bluestone enabling the provision of parts made from high-temperature, ceramic filled SLA resin.

The material's superb rigidity is ideal for turbines, wind tunnel test components as well as Vacuum forming tools and injection mould tool inserts.

Due to having a glass transition temperature in excess of 250C, Bluestone adds a new dimension to high temperature applications straight-off the machine, without having to invest in tooling or moulding - and in a fraction of the time.

Alongside Bluetone, AME Prototypes have introduced the Accura si50 SLA resin, which is comparable to moulded ABS, to complement their existing Somos 11120 'watershed' and Somos 9120 PP materials.

The new materials; which will be running full time on AME's recently added SLA 3500 machine, will be utilised by clients in a range of market sectors - but are extremely well suited to the automotive, medical and aerospace sectors in particular.

Tim Wragg, Business Manager at AME Prototype Solutions commented: "We're delighted to have extended our service range - the new materials give our clients some great new options across their product development".
