Aspect Japan engineered a new generation of SLS 3D Printers specifically for high-performance industrial polymers: PP, PPS, PA6, and PEKK. With the 5th Generation AM-E3 series, you finally get the durability of series production with the agility of 3D printing.

From data to a finished part

A sample model passes through three hands-on stages before it reaches you.

Design data

Geometry is prepared, oriented and checked against your specification and the build's tolerances.

Build & retrieval

Parts are grown layer by layer in powder, then carefully excavated and de-powdered by hand.

Finishing

Surfaces are cleaned, finished and inspected, until the part is something we're proud to hand over.

We don't consider a model finished until it's something we'd be proud to put in a client's hands. — The modeling team, Tokyo Technical Center

The people

A team of dedicated makers

Modeling engineers, finishers and material specialists work shoulder to shoulder on the floor. Many have spent years learning how a material behaves, how a surface should feel, and how to coax a flawless part out of a complex build.

That depth of craft is what lets us take on the parts other shops turn away and deliver them on time.

Next generation

Where the next generation grows

Our production team includes many talented young makers who play an active role in our work. Working alongside experienced craftspeople, they gain hands-on experience while being encouraged to question, experiment, and bring fresh ideas to every build.

This culture keeps our team curious, energetic, and continuously improving, while ensuring that our craftsmanship is passed on to the next generation.
