Shrewsbury Flaxmill Model

Technologies Used: SLS 3D Printing
Industry: Displays
Project Purpose: Additive Manufacturing

We worked with Sheffield interactive specialists, AIVAF, to SLS 3D print high-quality parts for their Shrewsbury Flaxmill model with a 2-3 day turnaround.  

AIVAF are the leading interactive specialists based in Sheffield. They produce excellent hands-on interactive exhibitions for a range of purposes including Museums, Science centres, visitor attractions & more.

SLS 3D Printing

For their recent project, they were tasked to create a model of the redeveloped Shrewsbury Flaxmill that was going to be displayed within the building itself. For this model, they needed some high-quality 3D parts printed which were going to be used to represent the structural supports within the building. With this being a model that would be displayed in the Flaxmill itself, it was crucial that it truly represented the building and that the 3D printed parts were as accurate as possible. 

Being located close to us in Sheffield, we visited them to discuss their needs and requirements for this project. From this, we were able to discuss SLS/SLA options, quote, and turn around the SLS-manufactured parts within 2-3 days. 

Impressed by the quality and speed of our 3D printing services, AIVAF came back to us for more iterations of their part and has now found their new local low volume manufacturing partner. 

“We contacted AME-3D after struggling to find a manufacturer that could produce high-quality parts in a quick time for us. Their in-depth knowledge and hands-on support gave us the confidence we needed to choose them to produce our parts. 
Parts were turned around extremely quickly and we were pleased with the exceptional quality. 
We have now worked with AME to create a number of iterations of our required part and have finally found a local reliable 3D part supplier to use in the future.”
