We have purchased a 3D printer to perform rapid prototyping;  we can now offer extremely quick turn-arounds on custom parts as well as increase the speed at which we can evaluate our design work. It allows us to iterate faster than ever before!

The models are built in an ABS-like material, and offer best-in-class part resolution and accuracy. The part strength and accuracy far exceeds both SLA and FDM printers. Surface finish even on gently curving surfaces is excellent, and we can build walls as thin as 0.2MM that rivals the strength of an injection-molded part.

If you have any questions or would like a quote on building some of your own parts, please send your enquiry in to info@cortex-design.com. We are offering extremely competitive rates on builds. Provide us your CAD models by 4:30p and provided it fits on our queue, we can deliver you built parts for next day.

Sometimes, it is difficult to pinpoint what exactly it is that draws us to the work of an artist. Ken Nicol is a brilliant and obsessively detailed artist who’s work continues to inspire. He just released his website at  http://k-nicol.com
