FAQ
FAQ
-
What is 3D printing?3D printing is a process of creating three-dimensional objects by layering material based on a digital model. Different technologies like FDM, SLS, and DMLS are used to build parts with various materials such as plastics, resins, or metals.
-
What types of 3D printing services do you offer?We offer a variety of 3D printing services, including FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) for thermoplastics, SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) for powder-based parts, and DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) for metal components and more. Get in touch for more info or to discuss your requirements directly.
-
How do I place an order for 3D printing?Simply upload your 3D model file (e.g., in STL or OBJ format) through our website, select your desired material and printing technology, and we’ll provide a quote and estimated delivery time.
-
What file formats do you accept?We accept the most common 3D file formats such as STL, OBJ, and STEP. If you have another file format, contact us, and we’ll assist you. We ensure that files are checked beforehand to make sure they are suitable for the desired printing method, any issues will be highlighted to eliminate any quality issues.
-
Do you offer design services or help with creating 3D models?Yes, we can help with 3D modelling, file optimisation, and design consultation to ensure your file is ready for printing.
-
Why do FAQs matter?FAQs are a great way to help site visitors find quick answers to common questions about your business and create a better navigation experience.
-
What is an FAQ section?An FAQ section can be used to quickly answer common questions about your business like "Where do you ship to?", "What are your opening hours?", or "How can I book a service?".
-
What materials can I choose from?We offer a wide range of materials, including thermoplastics (PLA, ABS, PETG), nylons, metals (stainless steel, titanium, aluminium), and specialty materials. The availability depends on the selected 3D printing technology.
-
How do I choose the right 3D printing technology for my project?FDM is best for cost-effective, durable plastic parts; SLS is great for strong, complex designs in nylon; DMLS is ideal for producing metal parts. SLA is good for parts which require a high quality finish but without the strength characteristics. Contact us for advice if you’re unsure which method fits your project.
-
Are the printed parts strong enough for functional use?Yes, depending on the material and technology used, 3D-printed parts can be strong enough for functional, mechanical, and end-use applications. DMLS metal parts, for instance, have strength comparable to traditionally manufactured metal components.
-
What is the difference between FDM, SLS, SLA and DMLS printing?FDM uses melted plastic filament for cost-effective parts. SLS sinters nylon powder for complex, high-strength designs. SLA uses cured resin for high quality finishes. DMLS fuses metal powders for precise, strong metal parts.
-
Can I print multiple parts at once?Yes, with SLS and DMLS technologies, we can print multiple parts in a single batch, making it cost-effective for small to medium production runs. We always aim to maximise the print area to ensure we are as efficient as possible, this allows us to pass on our cost savings to the customer.
-
How long does it take to get my 3D-printed parts?Lead times vary depending on the complexity of the part, material choice, and technology used. Most orders are completed within 3–10 business days. We’ll provide an estimated delivery time with your quote. If parts are needed quicker, we are able to offer an express service (within reason) to speed up the production. All parts are shipped out on a tracked courier service that is made available once it leaves our facility.
-
Do you offer expedited 3D printing services?Yes, we offer rush services for certain projects depending on availability. Contact us for more details and a custom quote for expedited orders.
-
What is the maximum size of a part I can print?The maximum size depends on the technology and material. For FDM, we can print larger parts, while SLS and DMLS have size limitations but can produce highly detailed and intricate designs. Check with us for specific dimensions based on your project.
-
Can I track the status of my order?Yes, once your order is placed, you will receive updates along with a planned completion date. If for any reason you are unable to keep track of your order, please get in touch. If in the unlikely event your order is delayed, we will make you aware as soon as possible.
-
What is your return/refund policy?As each part is custom-made, we do not offer refunds for completed prints. However, if there is an issue with quality or errors on our part, we will work with you to resolve the issue or reprint the part.
-
What resolution or layer thickness can you print in?FDM: 100–300 microns SLS: 60–120 microns DMLS: 20–50 microns Higher resolution generally results in finer details but may increase cost and time. SLA: 30-140
-
How do I prepare my file for 3D printing?Ensure your file is in STL/OBJ format, watertight (no holes in the mesh), and designed with the right wall thickness. Our team can assist with file checks and corrections before printing.
-
Can I request custom colours or finishes?For FDM printing, we offer a range of filament colours. For SLS, SLA and DMLS, parts can be post-processed for different finishes (e.g., polished, painted, or coated). Let us know your specific needs.
-
Will my part require supports?In FDM printing, supports may be needed for overhangs or complex shapes, which are removed after printing. SLA Printing also uses support material. SLS and DMLS do not require external supports as the powder bed itself supports the parts during printing. The design team will discuss support removal and specific areas of support if required.
-
Can I print functional moving parts or assemblies?Yes, with SLS and DMLS technologies, you can print fully functional assemblies or interlocking parts in a single print, saving time on post-assembly.
