Fused Deposition Modelling - FDM

Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) is one of the most widely used 3D printing technologies, perfect for creating durable, functional parts and prototypes. In FDM printing, thermoplastic filament is heated and extruded layer by layer to build up the object. This process allows for precise, customizable, and efficient manufacturing of complex designs.

Why Choose FDM Printing?

  • Cost-Effective: FDM is one of the most affordable 3D printing options, making it ideal for prototyping, product development, or hobby projects.

  • Material Versatility: We offer a wide selection of materials, including PLA, ABS, PETG, and speciality filaments, allowing you to choose the best properties for your project.

  • Durable & Functional Parts: FDM-printed parts are strong, long-lasting, and ideal for mechanical and functional applications.

  • Customizable Designs: From simple to intricate, FDM can handle a variety of designs, including those requiring support structures for overhangs and complex geometries.

Ideal Applications:

  • Prototyping and product development

  • Functional parts and tools

  • End-use components

  • Customized models and designs

With our professional-grade FDM 3D printing service, you can bring your ideas to life with precision and reliability. Whether you need a single part or a larger batch, we ensure high-quality results tailored to your specifications.

Selective Laser Sintering - SLS

3D printed part MJF technology

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an advanced 3D printing technology ideal for producing highly durable, intricate parts without the need for support structures. In SLS, a high-powered laser selectively fuses powdered material (typically nylon or other thermoplastics) layer by layer to form solid objects. This process allows for the creation of complex, functional designs with excellent mechanical properties.

Why Choose SLS Printing?

  • Complex Geometries: SLS excels at creating intricate, detailed parts that would be difficult or impossible to produce using traditional manufacturing methods.

  • No Supports Needed: Since the unsintered powder supports the part during printing, there’s no need for additional support structures, allowing for more design freedom.

  • Durable Materials: SLS typically uses high-performance nylon powders, resulting in strong, heat-resistant, and durable parts suitable for functional prototypes and end-use products.

  • Batch Production: Ideal for producing multiple parts simultaneously, making it cost-effective for small to medium batch runs.

Ideal Applications:

  • Functional prototypes and end-use products

  • Complex, interlocking parts

  • Lightweight, durable components for automotive, aerospace, and consumer products

  • Medical models and devices

Our SLS 3D printing service provides precise, high-strength parts with a smooth finish and excellent accuracy. Whether you need highly detailed prototypes or fully functional end-use components, we deliver top-tier results that meet your specifications.

Direct Metal Laser Sintering - DMLS

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is a cutting-edge 3D printing technology that produces high-performance metal parts by selectively melting fine metal powders layer by layer using a high-powered laser. This process creates complex, fully functional metal components with superior strength, durability, and precision, making it ideal for industrial applications.

Why Choose DMLS Printing?

  • High-Performance Materials: DMLS enables the printing of various metals, including stainless steel, titanium, aluminum, and Inconel, ensuring parts with excellent mechanical properties.

  • Complex Metal Parts: DMLS can create intricate, geometrically complex metal components that traditional manufacturing methods cannot achieve.

  • Strong & Durable: Parts produced with DMLS are fully dense and have mechanical properties comparable to those made via traditional metalworking methods like casting or CNC machining.

  • Custom Metal Solutions: Perfect for creating one-of-a-kind, custom metal parts or prototypes with fine details and tight tolerances.

​​

Ideal Applications:

  • Aerospace, automotive, and medical components

  • Custom metal prototypes and end-use parts

  • Heat-resistant, lightweight structures

  • Parts requiring high strength, corrosion resistance, and precision

 

Our DMLS 3D printing service delivers high-quality metal parts with exceptional detail, precision, and strength. Whether you need a functional prototype, a custom part, or a production run, we provide industry-leading metal 3D printing solutions tailored to your project’s requirements.

Stereolithography (SLA) is a high-precision 3D printing technology that uses a laser to cure liquid resin layer by layer into solid parts. SLA produces highly detailed, smooth surface finishes, making it ideal for applications that require fine features, accuracy, and visual quality.

Why Choose SLA Printing?

  • Exceptional Detail: SLA offers high resolution, making it perfect for intricate designs, prototypes, and models with fine details.

  • Smooth Surface Finish: SLA-printed parts have smooth surfaces that often require minimal post-processing, which is ideal for aesthetic or display purposes.

  • Material Versatility: We offer a variety of resins, including standard, tough, flexible, and castable resins, suitable for different functional and visual applications.

  • Tight Tolerances: SLA delivers precise parts with tight tolerances, making it ideal for detailed prototyping, small components, and dental or medical models.

Ideal Applications:

  • Prototyping for highly detailed or aesthetic models

  • Jewellery, dental, and medical models

  • Master moulds for casting

  • High-resolution visual models or display pieces

Our SLA 3D printing service ensures parts with outstanding precision, smooth surfaces, and a professional finish. Whether you need highly accurate prototypes or high-quality display models, our SLA printing delivers exceptional results tailored to your project’s requirements.
