3D Printing Facts
- Some of the Main Reasons to use 3d Printing are Speed, Customization, Flexibility & Cost.
-3D Printing can help you to bring your product to market faster if you choose the right company to work with.
-Some of the most important characteristics to look for are: Design capabilities, pricing, experience and turnaround time.
So, if you have a project in mind and would like to get a quote, just send your STL file.
| 3D Printing Types → | FDM | SLA |
|---|---|---|
| Build area: | larger print bed, thus larger prints | build area is considerably smaller |
| Infill Settings: | control the infill of the parts | 100% infill – is a solid print |
| Price: | parts are usually more economical | overall, higher |
| Accuracy: | good - depending on nozzle size | excellent |
| Surface Finish: | subject to 3d printer & settings applied | glossy |
Bottom line:
Consider the type of parts that you're likely to print the most and that will determine which
method would work best for your projects.
We recommend you to invest in a combination of FDM and SLA systems. As they both have their purpose and will give you more control and choices over your prints' outcomes.
If you haven’t worked with us before, please note:
As a small business with a strong capability in industrial design and prototyping, we have made a decision to focus on medium to large-scale projects. We strongly believe that this will provide a better outcome for everybody, so we can devote the necessary time, energy, and attention to deliver exceptional results that truly make a difference for all.
On 3D printing, if your project falls under the small category, there is a minimum charge of $75.00
Please keep in mind that in order to have a 3d print of a custom part, it has to be 3d modeled first, unless you already have the STL file. In other words, it requires a 2-step process (two different services): 3D modeling and 3D printing.
If you’d like, you can send a photo of the part you wish to 3d print right next to a measuring tape to have an idea of the dimensions and give a rough estimate for the part in question.
