prototyping and experimental fabrication

spray research has a fully-equipped machine shop to provide comprehensive in-house prototyping support for atomizer and process development projects and its atomizer qualification service. 

Major equipment includes a manual milling machine and engine lathe as well as cnc machining- and turning-centers. The atomizer development strategies pursued by spray research are geared towards rapid ramp-up from the development stages through to production. Since most atomizer prototypes are machined on production tooling and equipment, late-stage changes to the developed design to meet actual production constraints are kept to a minimum.

Our Model Shop extends the machine shop capabilities to fabricating experimental fixtures, specialized spray chambers and components for process development work.

spray research makes extensive use of modern 3-D modeling software and rapid prototyping technologies to speed development projects. Stereolithography [performed by a third party] is employed to produce the replicas used in the investment casting of super-alloy prototypes for field testing. 

Although these prototyping capabilities are configured primarily to support the development efforts,  spray research is also able to provide short production runs of its proprietary atomizer designs.
