FAQ
FAQ
-
What is 3D printing, and how does it work?3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is a process of creating three-dimensional objects from digital models. It works by layering materials, such as thermoplastics or resins, one on top of the other until the final object is formed. Please visit our 'Resources' section for more detailed content about 3D printing by our expert engineers.
-
What materials can be used for 3D printing?3D printing offers a wide range of material options, including various thermoplastics like PLA, ABS, ASA, PETG, as well as photopolymer resins, metals, ceramics, and composites, each with unique properties suited for different applications. Visit our 'Materials' section to know more about our materials offering.
-
What are the benefits of 3D printing over traditional manufacturing?3D printing offers several advantages, including faster prototyping, reduced waste, cost-effective small-batch production, intricate geometries, and the ability to create complex designs that are challenging or impossible with traditional manufacturing methods.
-
Can you print functional end-use parts with 3D printing?Absolutely! With advancements in materials and technology, 3D printing can produce functional and durable end-use parts for various industries, such as automotive, aerospace, and medical devices.
-
What file formats are compatible with 3D printing?Commonly used file formats for 3D printing include STL (Stereolithography), OBJ (Wavefront), and AMF (Additive Manufacturing File Format). If you have STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Data) of IGES (Initial Graphics Exchange Specification), our team can assist in converting your designs into the appropriate format for printing.
-
Are there any limitations to 3D printing?While 3D printing is a powerful technology, it does have some limitations, such as size constraints, limited material choices for certain applications, and post-processing requirements for certain prints.
-
What is the typical turnaround time for 3D printing projects?Turnaround time varies depending on the complexity, size, and quantity of the objects being printed. Simple prototypes may be completed in a few hours, while larger and more intricate projects may take several days.
-
Can you assist with design and modelling for 3D printing?Yes, our expert team offers design assistance and can help optimize your designs for 3D printing, ensuring the best results and cost-effectiveness.
