3D Printing Options
Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM)
Our FDM 3D Print Farm features over 30 FDM printers, including Bambu Lab P1P and Prusa MK4, as well as several large-format machines. With our farm, we can produce batch production for your product.
Materials
- PLA: Easy to print, low warping; great for sanding and painting
- PETG: Strong, heat-resistant; excellent for functional prototypes
- TPU: Flexible, impact-resistant; perfect for gaskets and protective covers
- ABS: High impact resistance, can be vapor-smoothed; suitable for end-use parts
Usage & Capabilities
- Ideal for batch production
- Multiple printers ensure quick turnaround times
- Wide material selection to match your project’s mechanical or aesthetic needs
Whether you’re a designer, engineer, or small business, our FDM 3D Print Farm is equipped to deliver quality parts on tight deadlines.
Stereolithography (SLA)
Materials
- Standard Resin: Smooth finish, captures fine details; easy post-processing
- Tough/Engineering Resin: Higher impact resistance, dimensional stability; can be machined or drilled
- Flexible Resin: Rubber-like elasticity, tear-resistant; ideal for grips and seals
- Castable Resin: Burns out cleanly; great for jewelry and other casting applications
Usage & Capabilities
- High-accuracy, fine-detail prototypes
- Minimal post-processing needed for a polished appearance
- Small-batch production of intricately detailed components
When you need precision and a professional look, our SLA services provide the detail and surface quality that will make your parts stand out.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Our Formlabs Fuse 1+ SLS printer delivers production-ready nylon parts with fast turnaround, no support structures, and minimal waste. Perfect for functional prototypes and end-use applications.
Materials
- Nylon 11: Excellent impact resistance, ductility, and flexibility; ideal for durable, high-performance parts
Usage & Capabilities
- Substitute for injection-molded plastics in small or medium runs
- Production of functional, thin-walled prototypes and complex geometries
- Small-batch manufacturing of jigs, fixtures, prosthetics, and more
From robust functional prototypes to ready-to-use components, our SLS printing ensures you get strong, reliable parts without compromising design freedom.

Batch Production Examples
How Was It Made?
- Model Preparation
Slice the CAD design into layers and generate toolpaths. - Build Setup
Load filament into the printer and position multiple parts on the print bed for batch production. - Printing Process
Extrude thermoplastic layer by layer, ensuring consistent adhesion and cooling. - Post-Processing
Remove supports, sand or smooth surfaces as needed, and prepare parts for packaging.

Stereolithography
Batch Production Examples
How Was It Made?
- Model Preparation
Convert 3D models into layers and arrange supports in slicing software. - Resin & Printer Setup
Fill the resin tank, calibrate the build platform, and position multiple parts in the build volume. - Curing Process
Laser or projector cures resin layer by layer, solidifying the part. - Post-Processing
Clean parts in an alcohol bath, remove supports, and UV-cure for final strength.

Batch Production Examples
How Was It Made?
- Model Preparation
Slice designs and pack multiple parts in the build chamber for efficient nesting. - Powder Loading
Spread a thin layer of polymer powder on the build platform. - Sintering Process
A laser fuses powder particles layer by layer, solidifying the parts within the powder bed. - Post-Processing
Cool the build, remove excess powder, and finish parts with media blasting or smoothing as needed.
