3D Printing Services

Research Tool Corporation (RTC) has earned its reputation through its focus on precision machining and fabrication services, as well as its problem-solving capabilities. The company introduced 3D printing as an additional service to its existing range of services as part of its ongoing innovation. The 3D printing service at our facility supports prototype development and design validation, as well as the early product development needs of our customers, although it remains a secondary service.

Why 3D Printing at RTC?

3D printing through additive manufacturing enables the direct creation of digital models and parts from digital designs. The technology enables RTC to accelerate product development cycles by allowing us to visualize complex components before manufacturing begins.

Our 3D printing service provides fast and flexible capabilities to our standard manufacturing process through model creation for review and assembly part fit testing.

Supporting Prototyping & Design

The main benefit of 3D printing technology enables our team and customers to preview parts before starting full production runs. The physical model creation process allows us to verify dimensions while checking geometry before we start the production process, avoiding unnecessary expenses.

This service provides exceptional value when working with complicated parts or when clients submit incomplete prints. Our reverse engineering process, together with precision machining capabilities, work alongside 3D printing to achieve perfect final parts. 

Materials & Capabilities

Our current 3D printing operation specializes in producing small-scale parts that meet rapid prototyping needs.

What our 3D Printing Services Provide

● Fast turnaround on prototype models

● Accurate representation of part geometry and design intent

● Cost-effective validation before machining or fabrication begins

Looking Ahead

3D printing has become one of the most rapidly expanding manufacturing fields and RTC maintains its dedication to lead the market in advancements. The ability to grow our operations rapidly enables us to invest in new equipment, thus preparing our company for expanded 3D printing applications.
