What is 3D Printing?

3D printing, also known as “additive manufacturing”, It is a manufacturing process where an object is built layer by  layer by melting a thermoplastic and pushing that molten plastic through a nozzle onto bed. The processes over and over, each time slightly altering new layer as the object gets taller. 

With the right machines and the right knowledge, we manufacture production-grade pieces in a variety of thermoplastics. The print can be as soft and flexible, hard and strong as you want. Some materials approach the strength and durability of metal parts. Whatever your needs are!

We offer a range of 3D services. We can help with your custom projects, manufacture durable medical equipment and help meet your small batch manufacturing goals. Previously, we have assisted with manufacturing assistive technologies, medical devices and braces.

Why Should You Choose 3D Printing?

Many companies and industries across the globe are turning to additive manufacturing to for their production operations, supply chain risks mitigation, climate change, enhancing product design flexibility, and reducing manufacturing costs. We are through the “show me” phase into the adoption phase and competitors are getting to market faster and cheaper.

Sometimes it isn’t cost-effective to create a small-run batch of parts or prototype parts with “normal” manufacturing processes like injection molding or full-scale metal stamping or milling.  $25000 for 50 pieces is a lot of upfront cost to have molds made. 3d printed parts can be made at a small fraction of the price.

Why You Should Choose OSC for 3D Printing

We have almost 20 years of combined experience in 3D printing and making as a hobby and a profession. There isn’t much we can’t figure out. We’re also local to the KC metro, we we’re easy to reach and collaborate with.
