MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY

3D PRINTING

3D Printing process builds a three-dimensional object from a (CAD) model, usually by successively adding material layer by layer until the product is complete, which is why it is also called additive manufacturing,

Small parts with high geometric complexity are usually 3D printed. ATOM can offer superior printing quality for final product and good quality for prototyping.

The real integration of the 3D printing technologies into commercial production, opened the door for our customers to remain competitive with the rapid development and improvement of their products.

3D CNC MACHINING

CNC machine uses a process called subtractive manufacturing that starts with a chunk of material and cuts it until the part is done. In CNC Machining, computers run programs that control how the machines will manufacture the parts.

Large parts are generally made with a CNC machines. ATOM uses CNC Machining in different stages of the manufacturing process, from making prototypes and molds to producing a final product. Our highly qualified team provides all CNC 3D machining methods such as 3 axes machines, 5 axes machines and Robotic arms.

3D LASER SCANNING

1) Accurate Reverse Engineering: ATOM applies Reverse Engineering using 3D scan data for the most efficient and accurate way to create a CAD model of a physical complex-shape component without existing CAD data.

2) Quality Control: ATOM uses the most accurate method for inspecting the prototypes which is the quality control using 3D Laser Scanner that captures millions of data points of the full geometry of the part. The scanned data will be compared with the original CAD model. As a result, our team provides a report including 3D measurement feedback and showing the variations between the physical scanned component and the original CAD file. Comparing each variation with the accepted tolerances is the quality control criteria.

THERMOFORMING

ATOM uses Thermoforming as a manufacturing process where a plastic sheet is heated to a suitable forming temperature, formed to a specific shape in a mold, and trimmed to create a usable product. Different materials can be thermoformed under vacuum based on application sheets and vary based on material grade, thickness, color and transparency.

COMPOSITES

A composite material is made by combining two or more materials – often ones that have very different properties. The two materials work together to give the composite unique properties. However, within the composite you can easily tell the different materials apart as they do not dissolve or blend into each other.

Most composites are made of just two materials. One is the matrix or binder. It surrounds and binds together fibers or fragments of the other material, which is called the reinforcement. Example: Fiberglass, carbon fiber . ATOM uses Composites to provide design flexibility because they can be molded into complex shapes.

CONTROL & AUTOMATION

PLC PROGRAMMING: Creating a ladder logic required for any industrial/automotive application. Then, Validating the functionality of the program.

HMI DESIGN: Customized Design and development of user interfaces.

Design and integration of communication interfaces between the controller and the HMI using Modbus TCP/IP
Adding the suitable gateway to link CAN system to Modbus TCP/IP
Support of test and verification
Creating a uniform end to end integrated development environment for all HMIs.

LASER CUTTING

ATOM uses Laser cutting technology to cut flat-sheet material with various thicknesses as well as structural and piping materials leaving an edge with a high-quality surface finish. Our team controls the machine to cut the required plate shape to match the requirement of the post processes.

CNC BENDING

ATOM uses CNC Bending machines for high flexibility and low setup times. Our highly qualified team utilizes these machines to bend single pieces as well as small batches with the same precision and efficiency in an economical way. By using CNC Bending machines ATOM grants a high bending accuracy starting with the first work piece with high productivity.

PATTERNS & MOLDS

ATOM provides a comprehensive design and making of the mold/pattern considering the required allowances related to your production process and material grade.

During the design, our team care about the following factors: Minimum Draft on all faces required for easy de-mold, Shrinkage allowance, Machining allowance (If applicable), Core print and core box design (If applicable), Loose pieces design (If applicable), and Gating & risering system design (For Casting molds)
