Virtual Factory

Rapid Prototyping

Pioneer is focused on helping our clients in the Aerospace, Medical, Automotive, Robotics & Automation, Plastics, Defense and Agricultural sectors with the most innovative manufacturing and rapid prototyping solutions. Our clients in these industries can expect innovative solutions that use some of the most advanced manufacturing technologies available, resulting in improved cost, weight reduction and previously impossible performance.

Together with our partners we can offer a range of additive as well as conventional subtractive manufacturing technologies such as DMLS, SLS, SLA, SLS, Multi-Axis CNC machining and general machining. Coupled with our Technical Services such as CAD design services and reverse engineering, we help our clients bring their innovative ideas to life.

Pioneer has provided our Virtual Factory Services to innovative companies that range from small entrepreneurial firms to fortune 500 corporations.

Together with our facility on Hooper Road in Barrie and our partners, we are able to offer a comprehensive suite of services to help our clients bring their manufacturing processes and products to the next level and truly advance their manufacturing technology.

Additive Manufacturing

In today’s world of explosive technological advances in the manufacturing world, the new manufacturers are the designers and engineers. The power to imagine new products and processes is no longer limited by our tools.

Over the past 15 years we have helped hundreds of innovative clients with our SR&ED consulting coupled with our Virtual Factory services at our facility on Hooper Road in Barrie, Ontario. We have witnessed the impact additive manufacturing is having on the manufacturing sector and see that it and other technologies are set to totally re-write the rule books on how manufacturing is done in the future.

Additive manufacturing may soon eclipse conventional subtractive manufacturing, just as transistors replaced vacuum tubes barely 40 years ago. A new industrial revolution is upon us and Pioneer is uniquely positioned to help our clients leverage these technologies by strategically integrating our SR&ED Consulting, Virtual Factory and Innovation Factory services to help you engineer, design, fabricate and deliver innovative solutions that were formerly not possible.

Contact us to find out why Pioneer is your preferred partner for additive manufacturing.

DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering)

Produces fully functional components in a variety of different metals that are fully dense. Allows you to produce components that have very complex geometries such as free form surfaces, conformal cooling channels and unusually deep slots. Tolerances for components will be in the 0.002” – 0.005” range as printed.

Materials:

  • Stainless Steel
  • Maraging Steel
  • Cobalt Chrome
  • Titanium
  • Nickel Alloy
  • ABS
  • PC
  • ASA
  • PC-ABS
  • Nylon
  • Others

SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)

Can manufacture fully functional components using a large range of plastic and composite materials with properties that are similar to moulded materials. Produces highly accurate and functional components.


FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling)

Can produce parts using a wide range of conventional thermoplastic materials with advanced mechanical properties so your components can endure high heat, chemicals, and high impact applications. Tolerances for components will be in the 0.0015” – 0.005” range.

Materials:

  • ABS
  • PC
  • ASA
  • PC-ABS
  • Nylon
  • Others
