🔧 Hybrid Manufacturing Advantage

Unique capability: We combine 3D printing with CNC post-machining for hybrid manufacturing. Print complex geometries with internal channels using additive manufacturing, then achieve ±0.03mm (±0.0012") precision tolerances on critical features with our CNC machining services—giving you the best of both worlds.

✅ Strict Quality Control Standards

Every 3D printed plastic part undergoes comprehensive visual inspection and dimensional verification before shipping. We ensure tight tolerances, structural integrity, and consistent layer adhesion across all additive manufacturing technologies—SLS, MJF, FDM, and SLA.

1. FDM 3D Printing (Fused Deposition Modeling)

FDM technology is the workhorse of industrial additive manufacturing. This process extrudes thermoplastic filaments layer-by-layer to build durable, heat-resistant parts with excellent mechanical properties. FDM excels at creating large-format components, production jigs and fixtures, and functional testing under thermal stress.

Best Applications: Large housings, manufacturing fixtures and jigs, functional prototypes, thermal testing components, automotive interior parts, drone frames, and tooling.

Available Materials: ABS (impact-resistant), ASA (UV-stable for outdoor use), Polycarbonate (PC) (high strength, 120°C heat deflection), ULTEM™ 9085 (aerospace-grade, flame-retardant, 180°C continuous use), Nylon (tough and wear-resistant), PETG (chemical-resistant).

Key Advantage: Most cost-effective method for large parts (up to 900mm+) and high-strength engineering materials. Ideal for rapid prototyping when you need parts fast without compromising durability.

2. SLA 3D Printing (Stereolithography)

SLA (Stereolithography) uses a high-powered UV laser to cure liquid photopolymer resin into solid plastic, layer by layer. This vat photopolymerization process delivers the smoothest surface finish and finest detail of any 3D printing technology—achieving injection-mold-like quality with layer resolution down to 0.025mm.

Best Applications: Visual prototypes and concept models, master patterns for vacuum casting, transparent optical components, jewelry masters, dental models, medical device housings, and presentation-quality parts.

Available Resins: Clear Resin (optical clarity for lenses and light pipes), Tough Resin (ABS-like mechanical properties), High-Temp Resin (heat deflection up to 238°C), Flexible Resin, Castable Resin (investment casting).

Key Advantage: Unmatched surface quality and dimensional accuracy for aesthetic verification. Perfect when your prototype needs to look and feel like a finished injection-molded product.

3. SLS 3D Printing (Selective Laser Sintering)

SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) uses a CO₂ laser to sinter powdered Nylon (Polyamide) particles, fusing them into solid parts without support structures. This powder bed fusion technology enables extreme design freedom—including complex internal channels, snap-fit assemblies, living hinges, and interlocking components that would be impossible with other manufacturing methods.

Best Applications: Functional prototypes and end-use parts, snap-fit enclosures, living hinges, complex ductwork, flexible tubing, automotive air ducts, drone components, and replacement parts.

Available Materials: Nylon PA12 (durable, chemical-resistant), Nylon PA11 (bio-based, higher impact resistance), Glass-Filled Nylon PA12-GF (40% glass beads for rigidity), Carbon Fiber Nylon, Flame-Retardant PA12.

Key Advantage: No support structures needed + high mechanical strength + heat resistance (up to 180°C short-term). Parts perform like production-grade injection-molded plastics.

4. MJF 3D Printing (HP Multi Jet Fusion)

HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) represents the cutting edge of powder bed fusion technology. This process applies a fusing agent via inkjet heads, then uses infrared heating to create high-density, watertight parts with isotropic mechanical properties (equal strength in all directions). MJF produces parts 10x faster than SLS with superior dimensional accuracy and surface consistency.

Best Applications: End-use production parts, low-to-medium volume manufacturing (10-5,000+ units), electronic enclosures, custom brackets, medical device components, robotic parts, and replacement parts.

Available Materials: Nylon PA12 (balanced properties), Nylon PA11 (bio-based, ductile), Nylon PA12 Glass Beads (stiffness), TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) for flexible parts, Polypropylene (PP).

Key Advantage: Fastest production speed for batch manufacturing + superior surface consistency + excellent dimensional repeatability across quantities of 10-500+ parts. Perfect bridge between prototyping and full production.

Q: What's the difference between FDM, SLA, SLS, and MJF 3D printing?

FDM extrudes thermoplastic filament—best for large, durable parts. SLA cures liquid resin with UV laser—best for smooth surface finish and fine details. SLS sinters Nylon powder with CO₂ laser—best for functional parts without supports. MJF uses inkjet fusing agent + infrared heating—best for batch production with superior consistency. Each has specific advantages depending on your part geometry, material requirements, and production volume.

Q: What tolerances can you achieve with 3D printing?

Typical 3D printing tolerances: ±0.2-0.3mm (±0.008-0.012") for SLS/MJF, ±0.15mm (±0.006") for SLA, ±0.3-0.5mm (±0.012-0.020") for FDM. For tighter tolerances, we recommend our hybrid manufacturing approach: 3D print the part, then CNC post-machine critical features to ±0.03mm (±0.0012") precision. Contact us to discuss your specific tolerance requirements.

Q: Are 3D printed plastic parts strong enough for functional use?

Absolutely. Modern engineering plastics like Nylon PA12, Polycarbonate, Carbon Fiber composites, and PEEK produce parts with mechanical properties comparable to injection-molded components. SLS and MJF parts have isotropic strength (equal in all directions), making them suitable for end-use applications in automotive, aerospace, medical, and industrial sectors. We can provide material data sheets with tensile strength, impact resistance, and heat deflection temperature specs.

Q: What's the maximum part size you can 3D print?

Build volumes vary by technology: FDM up to 900 x 600 x 900mm (large-format), SLA up to 650 x 750 x 550mm, SLS/MJF typically 380 x 284 x 380mm. For larger parts, we can print in sections and assemble using welding or bonding. We also offer CNC machining for very large plastic parts up to 3000mm+.

Q: Do you have a minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

No minimum order quantity. We're happy to print a single prototype for design validation or produce 1,000+ units for low-volume manufacturing. Our on-demand additive manufacturing model means you order exactly what you need, when you need it—without expensive tooling or setup costs.

Q: How much does 3D printing cost compared to CNC machining or injection molding?

For prototypes and low volumes (1-500 parts): 3D printing is typically 40-80% cheaper than CNC machining because there's no material waste and no setup time. Compared to injection molding, 3D printing has zero tooling costs (saving $10,000-$100,000+) making it ideal for design validation. For high volumes (5,000+ parts): injection molding becomes more cost-effective. We offer all three manufacturing methods—let us help you choose the most economical solution for your specific quantity and timeline.

Q: What file formats do you accept?

We accept all common 3D CAD formats: STEP (.stp, .step), IGES (.igs, .iges), Parasolid (.x_t), STL (.stl), OBJ, 3MF. We prefer native solid model formats (STEP/IGES) over mesh formats (STL) when possible, as they contain more geometric information and allow us to verify design intent. You can also send 2D technical drawings (PDF, DWG, DXF) for reference.

Q: Can you help with design optimization for 3D printing (DFM)?

Yes! Our engineering team provides complimentary Design for Manufacturability (DFM) analysis with every quote. We'll review your design and recommend optimizations for: minimum wall thickness, optimal orientation, support structure minimization, material-specific design rules, cost reduction opportunities, and performance improvements. This ensures your parts print successfully on the first try and meet all functional requirements.
