Sevaan Group unveils a new additive manufacturing service
Sevaan Group 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 customers regarding parts manufacturing, and the opportunity to attain tangible benefits that can help improve their productivity and revenue.
Sevaan already provides a unique integrated capability, an end-to-end workflow from design, prototyping and testing through to the production, assembly and finishing of precisely manufactured metal parts, for its customers.
The inclusion of AM into its service mix brings further key customer deliverables. “They will now benefit from more choice when purchasing manufactured parts,” explained David Green, Chief Executive Officer, Sevaan Group. “Our customers can choose to have their required parts manufactured via either traditional processes or 3D industrial printing.
“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 desirable 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 hardier and 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 production.
To ensure high-quality 3D printing of components, Sevaan uses the latest advanced 3D industrial printing technologies. This and its experienced design and production team, helps 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,” says Green.
The insertion of AM into Sevaan’s service offering also further cements the firm’s commitment to providing a one-stop shop for its customers. “This step is a perfect example of our ongoing determination to continue to offer our customers what they need under the one roof to help further simplify supply chains, reduce lead times and costs, and deliver peace of mind,” said David.
The company is also using its new capability 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,” concluded David.
