Analytical Components International expands Rapid Prototyping and Fixture Development Capabilities with Polycarbonate and Polyetherimide Integration

Stoughton, MA, January 30. 2024 – Analytical Components International, a leading innovator in ultra hard material processing including synthetic sapphire and ceramics precision component engineering and manufacturing for the industrial, medical and life science industries, is thrilled to announce the integration of polycarbonate and polyetherimide (PEI) materials, combined with advanced 3D printing technology, into its manufacturing process. This strategic enhancement further empowers the company’s rapid prototyping and fixture development capabilities, reinforcing ACI’s commitment to technological advancement within the industry.

The addition of polycarbonate and PEI materials enables Analytical Components International to create prototypes and fixtures with exceptional mechanical properties, heat resistance, and dimensional stability. Leveraging the power of 3D printing, the company can now produce precise and functional parts using these high-performance materials, facilitating faster design iterations, and optimizing product performance with respect to various applications where chemical compatibility is required.

Some of the key benefits of integrating polycarbonate and PEI materials with 3D printing technology in conjunction with our synthetic sapphire capabilities will allow for the creation of complex geometries and intricate designs, ensuring prototypes closely resemble the final product. We will be able to easily create complex geometries and intricate designs that were previously challenging or impractical when using ultra hard materials like synthetic sapphire or ceramics. This newfound flexibility facilitates customization, enabling the company to meet unique client requirements with ease.

This additive manufacturing capability in conjunction with hard material development will allow for unsurpassed design freedom and customization. With polycarbonate and PEI materials, Analytical Components International can unlock a new level of design freedom, enabling the creation of complex parts that were previously challenging to produce. The versatility of these materials, combined with the capabilities of 3D printing, allows for greater customization and the ability to meet diverse client requirements.

“We are seeing a game changing leap forward in the ultra-hard material development space. The integration of polycarbonate, PEI materials and ultra hard materials like synthetic sapphire in conjunction with 3D printing technology allows us to leverage the exceptional properties of these materials. We can deliver high-performance prototypes and durable fixtures that meet the exacting standards of our clients. This advancement showcases our dedication to innovation and positions us at the forefront of our industry.,” said Jon Bohlin, Operations and Manufacturing Director for Analytical Components International.

Added benefits to this capability development is more sustainable manufacturing: Both polycarbonate and PEI are recyclable materials, which aligns significantly with Analytical Components International’s commitment to sustainability. By incorporating these materials into the manufacturing process, Analytical Components International reduces waste and contributes to a more environmentally friendly production process.
