3D Printing for High Precision Microscope - Suba Engineering


SUBA Engineering 3D Print Interview

Mat Oliveira, Product Design and Support Engineer from Australian based SUBA Engineering shows us how SUBA Engineering is using Ultimaker 3D printers to make final production parts for their high precision industrial digital microscope

Mat shares with us his journey on how he came to narrowing down his selection of 3D Printers, after an extensive search of what was available on the market. Mat talks about the benefits of 3D printing compared to traditional methods, such as injection molding.

The SUBASCOPE 2020 features a number of 3D printed parts, and Mat explains how they were post-processed, making it look professionally finished, much like injection molded products.
