Additional Resources & FAQs

1. What is 3D Printing?

3D Printing, also referred to as Additive Manufacturing, is a manufacturing process that makes solid parts from a 3D model data (CAD file). 3D printing can be achieved with an array of technologies that use the same concept of fusing materials layer by layer to form a finished part.

2. How does 3D Printing Work?

3D printing creates parts by putting layers upon layers of material till the final part is formed. This technique of manufacturing parts is collectively referred to as “Additive Manufacturing”. Generally, once the CAD file is ready, it is loaded unto the 3D Printer and Printed. The 3D part is then finished according to customer specifications.

3. What 3D Printing Method Should I Choose?

Generally, SLM is used for 3D Printing metal materials and makes end parts with basic detail. SLA is used for 3D printing small parts that require high detail and cosmetic appearance while SLS can be used for low-volume production of functional end-use components

4.What materials can I 3D Print?

3D Printing solutions like SLA, SLS and SLM can be used to print plastic, metal and composite materials that will achieve the performance and functionality expected of the part.

5.How quickly can you produce parts using 3D Printing?

3D Printing can make parts in very quick leadtimes. Typically, 3D Parts can be prototyped, printed and finished in 48-72 hours. The leadtimes generally depend on the complexity of the project.
