H&T Presspart: precise prototypes and in-house tooling with P3 DLP
L’Arboç (Tarragona), Spain · Pharmaceutical devices · P3 DLP (Origin One)
H&T Presspart develops and produces devices and components for the pharmaceutical industry, including inhalers. Precision and reliability are top priorities.
The challenge
The company needed tolerances down to ±50 μm and a surface finish close to injection molding. It also needed many materials: PP-like, ABS, elastomers, clear and biocompatible. Three applications were in scope: tooling, prototypes and adapters for breathing simulation.
The solution
Through Excelencia-tech, Stratasys Platinum Partner in Spain, H&T Presspart chose P3 DLP technology on the Origin One. It now makes tooling in-house and improves it after testing.
Complex, precise prototypes are made faster and at lower cost than with prototype molds. Loctite IND405 allows clips to be tested. Elastomers such as Loctite IND402 and P3 Stretch 475 are used for mouth adapters that must seal the device.
“Every day we discover new Origin One applications and materials, allowing us to remain at the forefront of design and development and we are doing today, which we thought was impossible yesterday.”
The results
- 50% lower tooling costs
- 80% lower adapter costs
- Lead times under 24 hours: adapters are ready overnight
- A clear path from prototyping to production
Application: Medical device prototyping
Accurate prototypes for fast iteration and feedback from clinicians, engineers and regulatory teams. Biocompatible materials are available.
