VISIT TO INFINYT3D PVT. LTD., AT CIBA, VERNA

Infinyt3D Pvt. Ltd. in collaboration with CIBA (Centre for Incubation and Business Acceleration), Verna, Goa, is a state of the art, 3-D printing facility at CIBA, Verna. Founder Director, Mr. Ryan Vaz gave us the tour of this facility which is known as ‘Smart Factory’ which has over ‘17’ 3-D printers, various types of filaments, laser cutters, vacuum forming machines and other related equipments, all under one roof representing brands like 3D Systems, Divbyz Technologies, Stratasys, Flashforge, Creality, WOL-3D. Scanner to screen the human body was also demonstrated to us by Mr. Rojan Mechery. Infinyt3D Pvt. Ltd. was established in August 2014 and is a Product Development and Rapid Prototyping Company that helps in designing and printing 3D models, prototypes, spares, tools, dies and moulds, corrective prosthetic, scale models, gifts, jewellery & accessories, and much more.

Mr. Ryan Vaz shown us the endless possibilities of turning imagination into the reality through the display of some of these products such as masks, moulds, corrective prosthetics, models, etc.  He also mentioned how trained team at Infinyt3D can help people to convert their drawing or design into a three-dimensional model.

Some of the 3D Printers demonstrated to us include Ender 3, Sermoon V1 Pro, Flashforge Guider, Pixel 3D S1, etc.
These printers require filaments or powder to be melted at specific temperature (based on the type of the filament used).
Some of the filament materials used are as follows:
- ABS+
- ASA
- TPE
- PP (Polypropylene)
- PVA
- Multicolor
- PC (Polycarbonate)

It is important to consider the type of application before selecting a particular 3-D Printer. There are two types of models to be printed: free-form and models requiring measurements.
Freeform models are not based on specific measurements and can be designed using softwares such as Blender or free cloud-based web apps.
Models which are designed as per the measurements requires CAD Softwares to design them.
The design is then exported as an STL or OBJ file readable by print preparation software.
