3D Printing comes to Structura

Once the drawings have been created, the fabrication team can print 3D versions of components to make sure the custom extrusions will fit together.

Commenting on the new 3D printing system, Rob Sanders said, “Most of Structura’s refurbishment projects require the design and production of new aluminium profiles, thermal breaks, gaskets and accessories.

“We can now design these using the latest software and create prototypes using 3D printing to give us the confidence that everything will fit before going into mass production.”
