FAQ

Images are 2D, not 3D. We need designs in 3D CAD formats. STL is the most preferred format, however, if you do have other formats from CAD Software like Catia, Solidworks, 3DS Max etc, our engineers will be able to convert to STL & 3D Print.

In almost every case, we do not know what your part is. If it’s not printable for technical reasons, we will let you know the same and might suggest possible corrections. We generally never touch your design file.

Cost for 3D printing varies depending on multiple factors. 1. 3D printing technology: FDM, SLA. 2. Weight of your 3D printed product 3. Timeline 4. Quality of 3D printing required

Yes. We never share your files with anyone. If you have to be 100% sure, you could sign an NDA. Most of our large clients operate after an NDA has been signed.

The print time for a model depends on multiple factors such as print complication, print size and material of choice. If the model can be printed within 15 hours or less, we usually ship the printed model within 48 hours. Delivery times may change based on customers location and number of units to be printed.

3D printing is a process of making a physical object from a three-dimensional digital model, usually by laying down many successive thin layers of a host of different types of material. It is also known as additive manufacturing (AM) and it empower designers and manufacturers print object of any shape and geometric dimension.

3D Printing has multiple benefits which attract product designers and engineers alike. Which enables them to be flexible in their development cycle as this rapid prototyping technology can be printed on demand while keeping the whole process economical. The final quality of printed product is quite high while minimizing wastes.

Any industry manufacturing goods, equipment or machinery can theoretical make use of 3D Printing and its services. Some of the industries which benefit of 3D Printing are Aerospace, Automotive industry, Robotics, Manufacturing and Education.

3D printing is an essential tool for accelerating the prototyping process. However, its applications stretch well beyond prototyping to other facets of the product lifecycle. • Manufacturing – Design freedom and economically viable low-to-mid-volume production enable new possibilities for product design and operational improvement. Applied in combination, these two capabilities have the potential to transform decades-old supply chains and business models. • Tooling – 3D printed tooling advantages include on-demand production, customization, digitization of designs and unrestrained design flexibility. This cuts out costly suppliers, compresses lead times, enables digital warehousing and accelerates manufacturing floor productivity. • Sales and Retail – 3D printing gives retailers the ability to innovate, delivering highly customized, on-demand products and new experiences such as “co-designed” items developed in conjunction with the customers. • Aftermarket Supply – Businesses that embrace 3D printing for spare and replacement parts can replace warehouses of spare parts with 3D printers or a contract 3D printing service bureau to produce parts on a just-in-time basis.

3D printing accelerates the process by reducing the time and cost associated with prototyping and refining the design. Many more 3D printed prototypes can be produced in the time needed to mold or machine them and for much less cost. Highly realistic prototypes printed on full-color multimaterial printers look like the final product, cultivating faster and better decisions.

3D printing is not a wholesale replacement for existing manufacturing methods like molding and machining. Its benefit lies in supplementing these other technologies at points where they can’t compete. For example, 3D printing’s additive nature is able to make structures that aren’t possible with machining or molding. It also makes low- to mid-volume production economically viable because there’s no need for the tooling investment. Similarly, it’s much faster to get started, which is why GM turned to 3D printing to retool its production line to produce ventilators in the pandemic. In short, 3D printing is another tool in the toolbox, but one that offers key benefits over traditional manufacturing practices when used strategically.
