Discover Our 3D Printing Services:
Our 3D printing services are here to transform your ideas into tangible, high-quality parts with precision and reliability. From intricate designs to robust functional prototypes, our SLS, SLA, and FDM processes offer a range of solutions tailored to fit your needs.
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering):
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a powerful method for producing durable, highly detailed parts with complex geometries and excellent strength-to-weight ratios. It’s ideal for functional prototypes and end-use parts, particularly in industries requiring strength and precision, such as aerospace, automotive, and medical devices.
Best For:
-
Complex mechanical assemblies
-
Functional prototypes needing high strength
-
End-use parts and assemblies
-
Durable products with intricate detail
-
Materials Available:
-
Nylon (PA12, PA11): Versatile, strong, and wear-resistant for functional prototypes and parts requiring durability.
-
Carbon-filled Nylon: Enhanced strength and stiffness, perfect for applications needing extra toughness and rigidity.
-
Glass-filled Nylon: Adds stiffness and durability for structural parts in demanding environments.
-
Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE): Flexible and durable, ideal for prototypes and products requiring shock absorption or flexibility.
SLA (Stereolithography):
Stereolithography (SLA) is known for its ability to create parts with incredibly smooth surfaces and intricate details. Using a high-powered laser to cure liquid resin layer by layer, SLA produces parts with fine features, making it an excellent choice for high-precision models, artistic pieces, and medical-grade applications.
Best For:
-
Fine-detail prototypes, such as jewelry and custom-fit parts
-
Medical models and device prototyping
-
Artistic and decorative items requiring ultra-smooth finishes
-
High-precision applications with intricate details
Materials Available:
-
Standard Resins (Clear, White, Black): Economical and great for general-use prototypes with a smooth finish.
-
Engineering Resins (High-Temperature, Durable): Built to withstand stress and high temperatures, ideal for testing under real-world conditions.
-
Flexible Resins: Soft and flexible, perfect for applications requiring a pliable feel.
-
Dental and Medical-Grade Resins: Biocompatible options for dental and healthcare products, especially useful in custom-fit medical devices.
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling):
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a versatile and economical 3D printing process that builds parts by extruding thermoplastic filaments layer by layer. Known for its robustness and efficiency, FDM is widely used for functional parts, jigs, fixtures, and other prototypes that require durable materials. It’s a practical choice for quickly iterating designs and testing in real-world applications.
Best For:
-
Prototypes for form and fit testing
-
Robust, functional parts and enclosures
-
Large, sturdy components requiring durability
-
Cost-effective production of utility parts
Materials Available:
-
ABS: Tough and impact-resistant, great for industrial applications.
-
PLA: Eco-friendly and easy to use, suitable for quick prototypes.
-
PETG: Combines strength and flexibility, with resistance to moisture and chemicals.
-
Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Filaments: Adds extra stiffness and strength, ideal for engineering and load-bearing parts.
-
Flexible TPU: Durable and flexible, suitable for creating parts that need elasticity.
