Industrial 3D printing, from prototype to production.

Choose SLA for fine details, smooth surfaces, clear parts, and visual models; SLS for durable support-free nylon parts; MJF for consistent polymer parts and efficient repeat production; FDM for large engineering-thermoplastic jigs and prototypes; and SLM/DMLS for dense metal components with complex internal features. Our engineers confirm the process after reviewing geometry, material requirements, quantity, finish, and end use.

Tolerance depends on process, material, orientation, feature geometry, and part size. SLA and SLM/DMLS can typically achieve ±0.1 mm or ±0.2%, while SLS, MJF, and FDM commonly require approximately ±0.2 to ±0.3 mm or process-specific allowances. The quote confirms applicable tolerances after file review. Critical bores, threads, and mating surfaces can be finished by CNC machining.

All layer-based processes can show direction-dependent properties, but the degree varies. FDM is generally the most sensitive to layer orientation. SLA, SLS, MJF, and properly processed SLM/DMLS parts can provide more uniform properties, but should not be assumed fully isotropic. Build orientation is selected according to load direction, surface requirements, supports, and distortion risk.

STEP or STP files are preferred for manufacturable geometry and inspection planning. STL and 3MF files are also accepted when they are watertight and exported at sufficient resolution. Include a 2D PDF drawing for critical tolerances, threads, inserts, surface-finish requirements, inspection notes, or secondary machining.

Our engineers review wall thickness, holes, escape paths, unsupported features, overhangs, trapped powder or resin, build orientation, assembly clearances, machining stock, surface requirements, and post-processing access. We identify features that may affect quality, cost, lead time, or repeatability before production.

No. We support single presentation models, functional prototypes, bridge quantities, and repeat low-volume production. The most efficient quantity depends on process, build packing, material, post-processing, and inspection requirements.

Standard polymer prototypes can ship in as fast as 24–48 hours. Metal parts, large-format builds, production batches, and projects requiring extensive finishing, heat treatment, or inspection need additional time. The confirmed schedule is included with the quote.

Available operations include depowdering, support removal, washing, UV post-curing, sanding, polishing, vapor smoothing, media tumbling, dyeing, painting, stress relief, heat treatment, tapping, inserts, and secondary CNC machining. Specify cosmetic surfaces, colors, texture, and critical interfaces when requesting a quote.

Yes. Material certificates, Certificates of Compliance, dimensional inspection reports, and First Article Inspection documentation are available according to the selected process and material. Documentation requirements should be confirmed during quoting.
