ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
Nexus3 has the capability to manufacture parts using Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) technology. FFF printers utilize heated nozzles to extrude molten plastic across a cross section of a 3D part, building it layer by layer.
We utilize Ultimaker S5 and Ultimaker S5 Pro machines. Both are large volume, dual extrusion machines that deliver industrial-grade parts.
​
If you are interested in fabricating your next project using Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology, contact us. We can design a 3D model specifically for AM or optimize your model. If requested, we can also print your model directly with no manipulation!
The videos below are an introduction to the technology we offer. If you would like more details on the machine specifications, contact us or:

assembly & finishing
Nexus3 also offers assembly and finishing services. If your company needs to outsource additional work, or if you have a short term capacity problem, we can respond quickly to your needs. Our aerospace manufacturing experience makes us skilled in difficult and critical assembly and manufacturing techniques.
Additionally, we have an isolated room just for FOD (Foreign Object Debris) causing operations. No FOD producing operations are allowed in our Additive Manufacturing and Quality Inspection rooms. We follow the guidelines of AS9146 FOD Prevention Programs.
