IAR is thrilled to introduce a significant enhancement to our prototyping capabilities: the Form 4 SLA Printer. This cutting-edge technology vastly improves our ability to swiftly address detailed acoustic queries such as "what happens when I change XYZ...?"
IAR has prototyped plastic parts using a Fused Deposition Method (FDM) printer (Prusa), supplemented by a large-format resin printer (Peopoly L) added three years ago. While FDM remains ideal for economical and rapid fixturing solutions, its melted plastic lines and occasional air gaps between layers act acoustically like a highly resistive porous wall, necessitating epoxy coating of thin enclosure walls for transducer applications—a labor-intensive process.
