3D Printing Solutions

Yes, our industrial-grade 3D printing fully supports functional testing. Metal printing (SLM) achieves accuracy of ±0.05-0.1mm, while nylon (SLS) and resin (SLA) printing achieve ±0.1-0.2mm. For critical mating surfaces requiring higher precision — such as shaft-hole fits or threaded connections — we add CNC finishing after printing to achieve ±0.01mm on key features. So our 3D printed parts are not just for visual validation. They are ready for assembly testing, fluid testing, and even low-volume end-use applications.

Absolutely — this is where 3D printing shines. Traditional processes like injection molding or die casting require tooling costing thousands of dollars, making small batches completely uneconomical. 3D printing requires no tooling at all. Start from 1 piece, and cost scales linearly with quantity. For batches of 10 to 50 parts, 3D printing is typically the fastest and most economical option. Many of our customers start with 3D printing for prototype validation and low-volume pilot runs, then transition to molding for mass production — all with the same vendor, no switching required.

Yes, and we highly recommend it. Not every design that works for CNC or injection molding is suitable for 3D printing. Our engineers provide DFM (Design for Manufacturing) analysis specific to additive manufacturing. We look for opportunities to reduce supports, optimize orientation, convert solid structures to lattices for weight reduction, and consolidate multiple components into one printed part. These optimizations can cut print time, material usage, and post-processing labor by 30-50% or more. And this service is free during the quoting stage.

We offer a wide range of industrial-grade materials across three main families. For metal printing (SLM), we work with titanium (Ti6Al4V), aluminum (AlSi10Mg), stainless steel (316L, 17-4PH), and cobalt chrome (CoCr) — ideal for medical implants, aerospace parts, and high-strength functional components. For nylon printing (SLS), we offer PA12, PA11, glass-filled PA, and flexible TPU — perfect for durable functional prototypes, snap-fits, ducts, and living hinges. For resin printing (SLA/DLP), we provide standard, tough, high-temperature, and clear resins — suited for visual models, investment casting patterns, and dental models.
