Auburn Engineering Delivers Prototypes, Low Volume Production For Dental Equipment Manufacturer

Rochester Hills, MI - Auburn Engineering, Inc., the provider of rapid prototyping and production services, announced that it is a single source provider for both tooling and molding for the dental equipment manufacturer, D4D Technologies.

Notes Reid Scott, president, Auburn Engineering, "Auburn Engineering completed these production tools for D4D Technologies shortly after the urethane prototypes proved out their designs. Having spent time making design improvements during the prototype phase of this project, the production tools provided high quality parts from day one."

"We selected Auburn because they could meet our high quality standards and rapid response requirements," said Dennis Britt, vice president of operations with D4D.

Auburn Engineering partnered with the dental equipment developer's design team to build selective laser sintering (SLS) prototypes for the numerous components of the innovative D4D dental equipment for initial design review. The SLS glass-filled nylon prototypes offered were more durable than stereolithography (SLA) epoxy prototypes. D4D designers then looked to Auburn Engineering to produce silicone molds and cast urethane prototypes for the first functional plastic prototypes that were to be installed on working units.
