Rapid 3D printing services from prototype to production with fast lead times.
Different 3D printing technologies solve different manufacturing problems.We also support DLP, FDM, and BJ 3D printing technologies to meet diverse material and production needs. Below is a quick overview to help you select the right 3D Printing process based on part function, material, and production needs.
High-resolution resin printing for visual and precision prototypes. Best for: appearance models, fine details, smooth surfaces. Materials: engineering resins Tolerance: ±0.1–0.2 mm
HP MJF uses a fusing agent and heat to create strong, functional parts with fine details and excellent mechanical properties. Tolerance for nylon parts: ISO 2768-CL
SLS fuses powdered material layer by layer using a laser, producing robust and durable parts. It’s excellent for complex geometries and end-use applications.
SLM melts metal powders with a laser to create high-strength, intricate metal parts. This process is ideal for aerospace, medical, and industrial applications.
We provide a comprehensive overview of each rapid 3D printing process’s unique standards, aiding in informed decisions for your printing needs.
| SLA | MJF | SLS | SLM | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Min. Wall Thickness | 0.6mm for unsupported walls, 0.4mm for supported walls on both sides | At least 1mm thick; avoid overly thick walls | From 0.7mm (PA 12) to 2.0mm (carbon-filled polyamide) | 0.8 mm |
| Layer Height | 25 µm to 100µm | Around 80µm | 100–120 microns | 30 – 50μm |
| Max. Build Size | 1400x700x500mm | 264x343x348mm | 380x280x380mm | 320x320x400mm |
| Dimension Tolerance | ±0.2mm (For >100mm, apply 0.15%) | ±0.2mm (For >100mm, apply 0.25%) | ± 0.3mm (For >100mm, apply 0.35%) | ±0.2mm (For >100mm, apply 0.25%) |
| Standard Lead Time | 4 business days | 5 business days | 6 business days | 6 business days |
| Surface Finish (Ra) | Normal: 3.2μm After polishing: 1.6μm | 3.2–6.3μm (No secondary processing for nylon) | 3.2–6.3μm (Polishing/grinding available) | 3.2–6.3μm (Polishing/grinding available) |
Start by choosing your preferred manufacturing process, then upload your design file.
Next, configure project details like material, finishing option, and quantity, receive an accurate quote and DFM feedback, then place your order.
Once production is complete and your parts pass quality inspections, they are shipped to you.
