3D printing technology offers versatile solutions across various industries with numerous advantages.
Rapid prototyping of components, custom tooling, and low-volume production of specialized parts. Reduces development time by up to 70% compared to traditional methods.
Custom implants, surgical guides, dental models, and prosthetics tailored to individual patients. Enables more precise procedures and better patient outcomes.
Lightweight components with complex geometries, reducing overall weight while maintaining strength. Helps improve fuel efficiency and performance.
Custom jigs, fixtures, and tooling that improve production efficiency. Can be produced in days rather than weeks, reducing downtime.
Understanding our capabilities in terms of part size and precision will help you design more effectively.
Larger parts can be printed in sections and assembled
Tolerances vary by technology and material. The following table shows typical achievable tolerances:
| Technology | Standard Tolerance | Maximum Tolerance (±) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) | ±0.3% of part dimension | 0.5 mm | Functional prototypes, general parts, low-cost iterations |
| SLA (Stereolithography) | ±0.15% of part dimension | 0.3 mm | Detailed prototypes, visual models, resin-based components |
| SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) | ±0.2% of part dimension | 0.3 mm | Functional parts, complex geometries, metal/plastic sintering |
| DLP (Digital Light Processing) | ±0.1% of part dimension | 0.15 mm | High-detail parts, jewelry, dental appliances, micro-components |
Note: Tighter tolerances may be achievable for specific applications. Contact our technical team for special requirements.
3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of creating three-dimensional objects from a digital file.
Unlike subtractive manufacturing, which removes material from a solid block, 3D printing builds objects layer by layer, adding material only where needed. This fundamental difference enables:
Production of shapes that would be impossible or extremely difficult with traditional manufacturing methods.
Significant reduction in material waste compared to subtractive manufacturing processes.
Ability to create organic shapes, lattice structures, and complex internal features without additional cost.
The first 3D printing technology was developed in the 1980s, but it wasn't until the early 2000s that the technology became more accessible. Today, 3D printing continues to evolve with new materials, faster printers, and expanded applications across industries.
From rapid prototyping to full-scale production, 3D printing is transforming manufacturing by enabling more agile, customized, and efficient production processes.
Follow this step-by-step guide to ensure successful 3D printing projects.
Create your 3D model using CAD software. Popular options include Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Tinkercad (for beginners), and Blender (for organic shapes). Ensure your design is manifold (watertight) with no holes or non-manifold edges.
Pro tip: Design with the specific 3D printing technology in mind, considering its limitations and capabilities.
Export your model in STL or OBJ format, which are the most common formats for 3D printing. Check for errors using mesh repair tools if needed. Popular repair tools include Netfabb, Meshmixer, and 3D Builder.
Select the appropriate material based on your part's intended use, mechanical requirements, and budget. Match the material with the right printing technology for optimal results.
Upload your 3D model to our platform, specify material, finish, and quantity. Our system will provide an instant quote and estimated delivery time. For complex parts, consider requesting a design review.
Once your order is confirmed, we'll begin production. All parts undergo quality inspection to ensure they meet our standards before shipping.
Depending on your requirements, parts may undergo post-processing such as support removal, sanding, painting, or assembly. This step ensures your part meets the desired finish and functionality.
