Common questions about our 3D printing and additive manufacturing services
What file types do you accept for 3D printing?
We accept standard 3D file formats such as STEP (.step/.stp), IGES (.igs/.iges), STL, and OBJ. For best results provide solid CAD models (STEP) for manufacturing and detailed STL for prototyping. If needed, we can assist with file repair and optimization.
Which materials and technologies are available?
We offer a broad materials library across FDM, SLA, SLS, and MJF — including common thermoplastics (PLA, ABS, PETG), engineering plastics (Nylon, PC), high-performance polymers, biocompatible resins, and metal powders (steel, stainless, titanium). Material choice depends on mechanical requirements, environment, and finishing needs.
What tolerances and surface finishes can you achieve?
Tolerances depend on the technology and material. Typical SLA tolerances are ±0.1–0.2 mm, SLS and MJF can achieve ±0.2–0.5 mm depending on part size, and precision metal processes vary by alloy and post-process. We provide recommended tolerances during the design review and can deliver post-processing (sanding, smoothing, machining) for tighter dimensional requirements.
What is the typical timeline for 3D printing projects?
Lead times vary by complexity, quantity, and post-processing requirements. Simple prototypes can often be delivered within 1–5 business days, while complex production runs may take 1–4 weeks. We provide detailed project timelines in our quote after reviewing files and production requirements.
Do you provide design optimization consultation?
Yes — our engineers provide Design for Additive Manufacturing (DfAM) consultation to optimize your parts for 3D printing, helping reduce material usage, improve structural integrity, minimize support structures, and lower overall production costs while maintaining or improving functionality.
How can I get a quote for my 3D printing project?
Contact us via our Contact page with your CAD files, project requirements, desired material, quantity, and any specific finishing needs. We'll review your files and provide a detailed quote with timeline, material recommendations, and cost breakdown within 1-2 business days.
