The evolution of rapid prototyping: Heygears HPS unleashes unrivaled speed and accuracy
In today’s highly competitive product development environment, rapid prototyping is not only a luxury, but also a necessity. The competition for innovation requires a violent shift in time without compromise. Traditional methods often force engineers to choose: Any speed or accuracy. But what if you don’t have to choose? Enter Heygears HPS (High Precision System)the groundbreaking 3D printing technology damages speed and microscopic accuracy. exist GreatWe have integrated this cutting-edge platform to redefine possibilities in metal prototyping.
Heygears HPS Revolution: How It Works
Heygears HPS operates with a fusion of optical engineering, AI-driven calibration and advanced motion control. Unlike traditional SLA or SLS printers, the thickness of the layer sacrifices speed, HPS utilization:
- Dynamic Adaptive Optics (DAO): The laser beam is dynamically adjusted in print to offset thermal distortion to ensure that even at high speeds, consistent resolution is reduced to 10 microns.
- High frequency scanning: The piezoelectrically driven mirror moves 5 times faster than a conventional battery meter, reducing printing time by 70%.
- In-situ Metrics: Real-time sensors detected deviations as small as 5 µm and the automatic correction layer alignment intermediate construction was constructed.
result? A seamless marriage of pace and detail is changing the prototype workflow. Industrial molds with complex ventilation channels or aerospace impellers require <0.05mm tolerance - "Unable to print" Once there is no expensive work, it is ready to use now.
Greatlight + Heygears HPS: Why This Changes Everything
As a leader in rapid metal prototyping, Greatness uses HPS to push boundaries towards conventional additive manufacturing. Our SLM (Selective Laser Melting) facility (combined with HPS’s multi-laser synergy), such as:
- Fast alloy flexibility: Print titanium (Ti6al4v), cobalt powder or Inconel 718 without resetting parameters while preserving grain integrity.
- Zero ammunition thickness: At a typical rough 200µm print rate, reaching 20-100µm layers.
- Integration post-processing: After printing, our one-stop finishing service including hip, CNC milling and micro polish ensures that parts meet AS9100 or ISO 13485 standards without outsourcing.
A practical example? Medical device customers reduce the iterative cycle of femoral implants from 21 days to 48 hours, with no loss of surgical-grade polish or size fidelity.
Material innovation and customization
Greatlight’s HPS capabilities go beyond catalog materials. We work with our customers to develop tailor-made alloys and composite materials:
- High temperature resistance mixture: Custom ceramic injected stainless steel for combustion components.
- Bioadaptive Metals: Pore-controlled titanium scaffolding promotes bone integration.
- Low volume, high mix operation: The batch size ranges from 1 to 500 units, which is comparable to mass production in unit economics.
Why speed and precision matter together
In the prototype, the delay cascade. A single late design flaw can be launched within a few months. With HPS:
- Failed faster: The 24-hour printing job replaced a week-long wait, with three times iterations within the deadline.
- Cost control: Elimination Tool "bridge" Make; print directly to the end using the mold.
- Sustainability: Material waste fell by up to 50% compared to the subtraction method, consistent with the goal of zero waste.
Conclusion: The future is based on speed accuracy
Heygears HP is not only an iterative improvement, but also a paradigm shift. By eliminating the historical trade-off between speed and detail, it makes engineers innovate fearlessly. At Greatlight, we embed this technology into our DNA and fuse it with more than a decade of metallurgical expertise and end-to-end completion. Whether you are making microfluidic chips or turbine blades, our HPS drive solutions ensure your field of view is faster, clearer and more cost-effective than ever before.

FAQ: Heygears HPS Rapid Prototyping in Greatlight
Q1: What tolerances can Heygears HPS achieve?
Answer: Standard parts maintain a tolerance of ±0.05mm, and the key features reach ±0.02mm. We verify all prints through CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) report.
Q2: How fast is it "Rapidly" For metal prototypes?
A: Depend on complexity:
- Small parts (<100g): 4–12 hours.
- Medium size components: 24–48 hours.
- Batch production (more than 50 units): 3-5 days, including completion.
Q3: What metals/composite materials do you support?
A: Ti6al4v, Alsi10mg, 17-4PH stainless steel, Inconel 718, copper alloy and custom materials.
Question 4: Are you working on the post-processing internally?
Answer: Absolute. Our facilities include pressure-utilizing annealing, CNC machining, EDM, polishing and PVD coatings, all under one roof.
Q5: Can these parts be used for end use or prototypes?
Answer: Both! HPS produces a DML (Direct Metal Laser Sintered) section with a density of > 99.7% for mechanical loading and fluid dynamics testing.
Q6: Which industries use the Heygears HPS prototype the most?
A: Aerospace (turbo parts), medical (implant), automobile (lightweight) and energy (heat exchangers).
Q7: Do you need tools?
Answer: No. Design directly from CAD to printing – ideal for casting or machining impossible complex geometric shapes.
