A global supplier of ultrasonic measurement products to the medical and academic sectors has brought a new product to market thanks to 3D printing and materials experts at the Coventry-based Manufacturing Technology Centre. Precision Acoustics came to the MTC for help when it was looking to launch a new anechoic test tank liner for measuring ultrasonic signals at frequencies below 1 MHz. The surface structure of the tank liners is critical, so an SME team from MTC Manufacturing Support Services worked with Precision Acoustics to come up with an appropriate material to use for the 3D printing of the moulded former.
