Sevaan Group launches additive manufacturing service
Sevaan Group, the parent company of parts contract manufacturer Sevaan Manufacturing, has announced that it has expanded its manufacturing services to include additive manufacturing (AM). The addition of 3D printing capability will provide greater choice for the company’s customers when it comes to parts manufacturing.
Sevaan already provides integrated capability, an end-to-end workflow from design, prototyping and testing through to the production, assembly and finishing of precisely manufactured metal parts.
The inclusion of AM into its service mix brings with it further key deliverables for customers.
“They will now benefit from more choice when it comes to purchasing manufactured parts. Our customers can choose to have their required parts manufactured via either traditional processes or 3D industrial printing,” said David Green, Chief Executive Officer, Sevaan Group. “For certain components and production runs, 3D printing can offer specific benefits including rapid prototyping, a faster production turnaround, enhanced quality and cost savings, making it a very attractive manufacturing option.
“Thanks to AM, customers who only require a small number of parts or perhaps longer-lasting components, now no longer need to wait for parts to come in from overseas while experiencing downtime, and can explore more cost-effective part options.”
Sevaan’s AM service includes parts inventory auditing to identify components suitable for 3D printing, reverse engineering if required, parts design, prototyping and testing, and of course, production.
To ensure high-quality 3D printing of components, Sevaan uses the latest advanced 3D industrial printing technologies.
With an experienced design and production team, Sevaan says it can secure the delivery of precise components produced in plastics, composites and continuous fibres.
“These flexible materials are surprisingly robust, strong and lightweight, and can be optimised to create parts in great detail and complexity, to the required tolerance and with minimal waste and a small carbon footprint. In the case of low-quantity production runs, AM is indeed a value proposition,” Green said.
The company is also putting its new capability to use to manufacture tools for its own inhouse needs.
“We are very excited about our 3D printing service and the benefits it will provide to our customers. We will continue to embrace innovation and creativity to keep driving our customers and Sevaan into the future,” Green concluded.
