HOUSTON — Custom Air Products & Services Inc. (CAPS) has added new technology, which is being utilized for research and development by the engineering department.
Within the past month, CAPS has invested in a 3-D printer, the MakerBot Z18. This printer is one of the largest and one of the most advanced 3-D printers in its class. It utilizes fused filament fabrication or fused deposition modeling to create scale representations of their multiple equipment lines as well as customer-specific unit models. The models the workers plan to produce are going to give customers a tangible, to-scale representation of the equipment they are wishing to purchase as well as provide an idea of how any auxiliary components may need to be assembled on-site. In conjunction with the purchase of the MakerBot Z18, CAPS has also invested in a Filastruder/Filawinder package.
