Lid and housing of a mini sink for water collection

Akvantis is a Ukrainian company specializing in the development of water purification systems.

Client’s challenge

For production, the client required two sets of plastic parts — lids and housings for a mini sink used for water collection. The company manufactures some components in-house using an FDM 3D printer, but for certain parts their own equipment could not provide the required surface quality and appearance.

Solution

The client chose Makerly to manufacture the parts on industrial HP Jet Fusion 5210 equipment using MJF technology. Polyamide PA 12 S was used for printing. This combination of solutions makes it possible to obtain parts with high accuracy, a smooth surface, and a long service life. 

MJF technology enables the production of complex-shaped components that remain strong and resistant to moisture, chemicals, and ultraviolet radiation.

Result

The client received two sets of 10 parts within two business weeks. All components fully met the technical specifications and the required appearance. 

Thanks to Makerly, the customer obtained high-quality parts and found an effective alternative to their own equipment, which could not deliver the desired result for certain components.
