02 / Prototype & iterate

Move the idea
off the screen.

Check the fit of an enclosure, test a bracket, or refine a complex shape before committing to the next revision.

We match the printing process to the part’s geometry, surface requirements, and intended use. Dimensional accuracy depends on the selected process and design.

03 / Printing processes

Build around
the application.

Multi Jet Fusion builds nylon parts in a powder bed. FDM and SLA offer additional routes for prototypes and specialized material or detail requirements.

Choose the process with the material, feature size, and desired finish in mind.

01

MJF

Nylon powder-bed printing for functional parts and production runs.

02

FDM

Filament-based printing for prototypes and engineering polymer applications.

03

SLA

Resin-based printing for applications that call for fine detail.

04 / Printing materials 3D printing catalog

Give the design
the right material.

Start with PA12 nylon in our material catalog. For other polymers or processes, include your application requirements with a custom quote.

05 / Technical data

Design with
the details.

Start with these process guidelines. Include critical dimensions, material requirements, and finish expectations with your quote.

XY accuracy
±0.2 mm standard Accuracy varies with the geometry and printing process selected.
Layer height
0.1–0.2 mm Depends on the machine, process, and required surface finish.
Build volume
FDM: up to 350 × 350 × 400 mm Confirm the build limits for your chosen process. Larger designs may need to be sectioned.
Typical lead time
1–3 business days for standard parts Confirm timing for the selected process, material, quantity, and finishing requirements when quoting.
Accepted files
STL · STEP · OBJ Include units and a drawing where specific fits or dimensions are required.
06 / Design for printing

Think beyond
the first layer.

A printable model starts with the right wall thicknesses, clearances, and feature sizes. Review these details for the specific material and process.

01

Walls & details

Review thin walls, small holes, and fine features against the chosen process.

02

Fit & assembly

Allow appropriate clearance between mating parts and identify dimensions that need special attention.

03

Finish & orientation

Discuss visible surfaces, finishing requirements, and part orientation with your quote.
