Expertise across a wide range of industries and applications
3-D PRINTING
3D Printing Technologies:
• FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling): Cost-effective and ideal for quick prototypes and large parts.
• SLA (Stereo lithography Additive - Resin): Best for high-detail, complex parts, using advanced plastics. SLA offers greater precision and higher quality finishes, making it our premium service.
Materials Available:
We offer a wide range of plastics with varying properties to match your project’s needs. For a full list check the send file page.
How It Works:
• Send Your File: If you already have a design, upload your file, and we’ll take care of the printing.
• Need Help with the Design? Our expert CAD team is ready to assist you with optimizing your model for 3D printing, ensuring the best quality for your part.
Pricing:
Pricing is based on:
• Material Choice: Different materials have different properties and cost levels. SLA plastic materials are more expensive but offer superior detail and finish, while FDM materials are generally more affordable and suitable for functional prototypes, though with less fine detail compared to SLA.
• Part Size: Larger prints require more material and longer print times.
• Complexity: More intricate designs may impact printing time and cost.
We’ll provide a detailed quote once we review your design, ensuring transparent pricing.
