FAQ

1. How do you prevent warping in large ABS prints?

Heated build chambers (110°C) and strategic support structures minimize thermal stress.

2. Can printed metal parts match wrought material properties?

DMLS parts achieve 95%+ density with tensile strength exceeding cast equivalents.

3. What’s the accuracy of multi-material prints?

±0.2mm layer-to-layer registration across material transitions.

4. Do you offer UL94 V-0 rated materials?

Flame-retardant PA12 and PC-ABS available with certification documentation.

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, revolutionizes the creation of three-dimensional objects by building them layer by layer from digital models. Unlike traditional subtractive manufacturing methods that remove material to form an object, 3D printing adds material in precise increments, enabling complex geometries that are difficult or impossible to achieve otherwise.

The process begins with a 3D model designed using CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software or obtained via 3D scanning. This digital file is then sliced into hundreds or thousands of horizontal layers by specialized software. The 3D printer reads these slices and constructs the object layer by layer.

There are several types of 3D printing technologies, each using different materials and processes. Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) extrudes thermoplastic filaments through a heated nozzle, which solidifies upon cooling. Stereolithography (SLA) employs a laser to cure liquid resin into hardened plastic. Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) uses a laser to fuse powdered material particles together.

During printing, support structures may be generated to hold overhanging features in place until the print is complete. Afterward, these supports are removed, and the object may undergo post-processing, such as sanding or painting, for finishing touches.

3D printing democratizes manufacturing by allowing rapid prototyping, customization, and on-demand production. It reduces waste, shortens lead times, and opens up new possibilities in design and functionality, making it indispensable across industries like healthcare, aerospace, automotive, and consumer goods.
