We offer different technologies and a wide variety of materials for improved flexibility when making your product. Our machine park and production capacity enable fast delivery. Aware of the urgent nature of your projects, we are committed to delivering them as quickly as possible.

INITIAL offers different technologies and a wide variety of materials for improved flexibility when making your product.

Vacuum Casting

Ensures accurate duplication of a model using a silicone mold. The most economical production process for small series: prototype parts, pre-series or parts sold.

Finishings

To view your product in its final version, different finishes are proposed based on the method and material used.

Selective Laser Sintering HD – SLS® HD

For small-sized parts requiring optimal surface quality.

 

Selective Laser Sintering – SLS®

The prototypes obtained offer excellent mechanical and thermal characteristics. This technology is ideal for your assembly or functional validations.

Fused Deposition Modeling – FDM®

Produces geometrically stable parts that can easily be processed, painted or metallized.

Stereolithography – SLA®

Enables the manufacturing of accurate prototypes and complex forms from photosensitive resins.

Polyjet® multi-materials

Ideal when validating multi-material designs, choosing hardness or saving time when developing your products.

 

MOVINGLight® DLP
Our expertise

INITIAL offers different technologies and a wide variety of materials for improved flexibility when making your product.

 

In 2008, after more than 10 years of experience in metal sintering, INITIAL-PRODWAYS acquired a new generation of additive manufacturing, known as Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS®), to produce metal parts or mold cavities. We have one of the highest production capacities in Europe for improved reactivity. Through the use of nitrogen and argon-based technologies, all types of material can be used.

Post-process

We can perform all post-process operations based on your specifications through our dedicated workshop.

Casting

Using a stereolithography model (SLA®), parts are manufactured as either made-to-order or a small series, in aluminium casting and diverse alloys, poured in plaster molds.

Metal Additive Manufacturing

Enables production of one-piece, complex metallic parts with geometries which cannot be manufactured otherwise (control, transfer of fluids, etc.). This technology, resulting from rapid prototyping, offers a competitive alternative to standard manufacturing processes.

Our expertise

With Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS®), design differently, produce differently and stay one step ahead of the competition.

 

Thermoplastic Injection Molding

An essential complement to our mold manufacturing, we have an adaptable and modular machine park, ideal for small series production. We validate or produce your part in its definitive material.

Series tooling

You wish to produce parts in small or medium series over several years, supported by quality control and controlled costs.

 

Conformal cooling

It is the dream of all mould-makers to have cooling channels running in areas of the mould that are unreachable with conventional machining.

Prototype tooling

INITIAL-PRODWAYS is your local testing center: validate a design or a process using parts in the end material.

 

Our expertise

Prototype molds are differentiated from series moulds (including pre or small series) by the quantity of pieces required or the design of the mold (manual vs. automatic).
