Stereolithography(SLA) is a process where high powered ultra-violet lasers are directed into a basin of liquid polymer resin solidifying those areas.  The part is created in layers from the bottom up, each layer only thousandths of an inch thick.  The result is a precise physical copy of the virtual computer model significantly lower in price than conventional prototyping, and delivered to you in a fraction of the time.
 
   
   
   
   
 
SCICON continues to use the latest in Stereolithography technology to generate solid or flexible, highly detailed functioning parts from your drawings, blueprints, or 3D-CAD files.

Selective Laser Sintering(SLS) Create parts and physical prototypes fast - by skipping the tooling step. The SLS system and materials enable you to create durable, metal, plastic, or rubber-like parts directly from any solid CAD model in as little as one day - and without dependence on costly tooling or skilled labor.

CNC Machining -SCICON offers full service CNC machine shop. Whatever the material and whatever the specifications you give us, from complex tooling of plastics to titanium toothpicks, SCICON can do it.

When you're looking for something functional, we can help. Metal or plastic, our High-Tech precision CNC shop will give you a working product to test your ideas.
 
 
 
 
3D CAD - Engineering Services - At SCICON we work exclusively in 3-D CAD because it allows us to turn your 2 dimensional design, be it put into a blueprint or a rough sketch, into a working 3-D computer model. You can view the part from any angle - all before you go into production. In addition to turning your 2-D design into 3-D, we can also reverse engineer an existing part into a computerized 3-D model.

SCICON offers complete design engineering services. Even if you only have a rough idea of what you want, we work with you on a journey from concept to physical products.
