3D Printing Service for Metal Parts
The 3D printing service for metal parts enables a faster production process and the realization of more complex shapes than traditional methods. Metal 3D printing brings the greatest benefits when it is used to replace machined or cast parts.
3D-printed metal parts suit many industrial needs, including harsh environments and demanding conditions.
3D Printing Service for Plastic Parts
The mechanical and chemical properties of 3D-printed plastic parts with industrial-level production machines are completely comparable to traditional methods. About 85% of all the prints we make are used in the final product.
We have a comprehensive selection of plastic materials from standard PA12 to durable glass-reinforced polyamide and flexible rubber-like TPU.
3D Printing Service for Prototypes
3D-printed prototypes speed up product development. The absence of tooling or molding requirements means that your product can be printed directly from a digital design, allowing for adjustments as needed.
This streamlined process makes prototyping more efficient than conventional methods and enables multiple iterations at once to save time.
Series Production by 3D Printing
Today, 3D printing technology has developed to the point where we can implement serial production as a 3D printing service cost-effectively. We offer serial production for both metal and plastic prints. The 3D printing service enables easy scaling of production from individual parts to serial production.
Our modern 3D printing service is perfect for mass production, enabling us to produce thousands of pieces for our clients every month. We continuously invest in maintaining our serial production capabilities.
3D Scanning
We offer a specialized 3D scanning service that is ideal for replicating old, hard-to-find, or even worn and broken spare parts. With 3D scanning, it is possible to manufacture spare parts, even if the original piece is worn or damaged.
Our 3D scanning service accelerates the 3D modeling process and enables you to utilize our 3D printing service at its full potential.
Plastic Materials for 3D Printing Service
PA12 Grey
P12 Grey is a pigmented version of PA2200. It is a grey technical plastic used in the SLS printing technology. The material has been developed to be compatible with the fiber laser of Farsoon Flight machines.
PA2200 (PA12)
PA2200 is a nylon based on polyamide 12. Compared to ordinary polyamide, PA2200 nylon has a higher melting point and crystallization. As a raw material, PA2200 nylon is considered the standard material for 3D prints.
PA3200GF (PA12GF)
Glass-reinforced polyamide. The raw material is polyamide (PA12) mixed with small glass beads. The beads strengthen the resulting parts and increase the stiffness, abrasion resistance, and temperature resistance.
PA2210 FR – UL 94 V-0
PA2210 FR PA12-based nylon containing a halogen-free flame retardant chemical. This fire-classified nylon is roughly equivalent to PA2200 material in its mechanical properties.
ROLASERIT® TPU
ROLASERIT® TPU is a versatile thermoplastic polyurethane ideal for parts that require flexibility, durability, and shock absorption. Its properties form a bridge between rubbers and plastics.
Metal Materials for 3D Printing Service
SS15-5 Ph
EOS StainlessSteel PH1 is a pre-alloyed stainless steel in fine powder form. The chemistry of EOS StainlessSteel PH1 conforms to the compositions of DIN 1.4540 and UNS S15500.
Cobalt chrome
Cobalt chrome (Remanium Star) alloy is used in particularly demanding environments in industry and medical applications. The material is commonly used in gas turbines, dental implants and orthopedic implants.
Aluminium AlSi10Mg
Aluminium AlSi10Mg is a traditional metal alloy used in castings with low density and good thermal properties. Due to its density and easy manufacturability, it is one of the cheapest 3D printable metal materials.
SS 316L
316L Is one of our most popular metal materials. It is suitable for parts in many different industrial application such as medical, automotive, power plants, pulp and paper, chemical and many more.
Tool steel
Martensitic tool steel 1,2709 is a very hard and durable steel. Excellent suitability for tools is due to its characteristic hardness, compression strength and wear resistance obtained through annealing.
State-of-the-Art Equipment
Our commitment to a high quality 3D printing service is backed by cutting-edge equipment from suppliers such as EOS, Farsoon, General Electric, and AMT.
Whether it’s high-performance metal parts or durable plastic components, our advanced equipment empowers us to meet even the most demanding specifications, guaranteeing that your projects are delivered with the highest standards of accuracy.
