FAQ

1. How do you ensure dimensional accuracy (±0.2 mm) across large FDM prints?

We maintain strict environmental controls within our industrial FDM chambers, utilizing heated build plates and enclosed ambient temperature regulation to prevent thermal warping. Additionally, our automated slicing software precisely calculates material shrinkage rates, compensating for them digitally before the print even begins.

2. Can your medical-grade resin parts be used directly in surgical environments?

Yes. We utilize ISO 10993-5 compliant medical-grade resins. Furthermore, we provide comprehensive post-processing that includes ISO 11135 compliant ethylene oxide (EO) sterilization and strict bioburden testing (≤10 CFU/part), ensuring the parts are safe and ready for applications such as patient-specific surgical guides.

3. What does your complimentary DFM (Design for Manufacturing) analysis entail?

Our engineering team reviews your CAD files to identify potential printability issues. We analyze part orientation to maximize strength along critical axes, optimize support structures to minimize surface scarring, and recommend hollow structures or lattice infills (10-50% density) to reduce weight by up to 50% and decrease production costs.

4. Does the vapor smoothing process negatively impact the mechanical properties of ABS parts?

When controlled properly, vapor smoothing actually enhances certain mechanical properties. While it achieves an injection-molded aesthetic (Ra ≤1.6 μm), the localized melting of the outer shell fuses the layers together more completely, significantly improving the part's isotropic strength and making it highly resistant to delamination under stress.

5. How does your QR-code traceability system work for material compliance?

Every batch of parts we produce is assigned a unique QR code. When scanned by your receiving or quality control department, it links directly to a secure digital dossier. This includes the raw material certificates, the exact print parameters used (temperature, layer height), and the final CMM dimensional inspection reports, ensuring 100% audit readiness.
