3D Printing
We offer high-quality 3D printing service using technologies:
- FDM – a printer is fed with a plastic wire, a print is made by melting the filament and passing it through the nozzle. Maximum print size: 320x320x330mm;
- MSLA – the printing material is a light-curing resin, a print is built by guiding UV light onto the resin after passing a stream of light through the masking matrix. Maximum print size: 215x120x230mm.
Models that do not require very high surface quality are printed on filament-based printers (FDM) with dimensional tolerances of +0.3mm/300μm for external dimensions, +0.4mm/400μm for internal dimensions, and unfinished holes with a diameter smaller than 12mm with a tolerance of -0.3mm/300μm. These tolerances are achieved using our universal printing processes. However, after fine-tuning the process for a specific object (e.g., in small-batch production or upon request), our machines can maintain a repeatable tolerance of ±0.15mm/150μm for internal and external dimensions.
We offer prints using PLA, ASA, PET-G, TPU 40D, and PA12CF15 filaments. Our printers are highly adaptable, allowing us to accommodate requests for prints using filaments that are not included in our standard offering. Please note that fulfilling such requests may result in longer lead times due to the delivery of the filament and process calibration.
FDM - printing with filament
Prints made from filament are perfect for creating objects subjected to loads and those that are part of kinematic systems. They also work very well as fixing elements, such as bushings for buttons, as a substitute for metal bushings, or connector sockets.
In most cases, there is also the possibility of customizing the color of the print. A significant number of filament types have color variations, allowing for even greater customization of the order. Furthermore, multi-color prints are also possible, both using filament with transitional colors and by switching to a different colored material during the printing process.
When very high dimensional precision and surface quality are required, we print the object using a resin-based printer in MSLA technology. This method is ideal for printing highly detailed character figurines for tabletop gaming, scaled models, and components with tight dimensional fits, such as dental prosthetics. It is also suitable when the visible surface must be free of visible material layers for aesthetic reasons. The dimensional deviations of models printed using this method for 3D printing usually don’t exceed 0.05mm/50um.
MSLA - printing with resin
We use resins designed for artistic prints as well as reinforced “engineering” resins intended for prototypes or components exposed to external forces and environment. For prints intended for skin contact, we use biocompatible resins that do not cause reactions when in contact with living tissue or the human body. Some variations of these resins find applications in fields such as medicine and dentistry. The resins we currently use are certified according to the ISO 10993-10 standard. To meet the standard requirements, prints are appropriately cleaned following the required procedures and undergo final curing.
This is the best method for additive manufacturing when maintaining tight tolerances is essential, uncompromising surface quality is required, or when the model features intricate and delicate details that cannot be lost.
