What do we need for your perfect 3D print?
If you tell us about your project and the application for the desired component, including requirements for temperature resistance, strength, and chemical resistance, we can determine the optimal material and process. Do you already have a 3D model in STEP or STL format, or is a drawing all you need? A detailed data set not only simplifies the process but also contributes to cost optimization. It is particularly important to know if there are any hidden build directions or support materials in the component, as this affects the quality and tolerances of the parts and is crucial for printability. Which material do you prefer for your application—plastic, metal, ceramic, sand, plaster, or resin? This choice significantly influences the material properties and pricing. Please also let us know your budget and the timeframe required for the component so we can ensure your requirements are met, whether for a prototype or for use as a machine component.
What kind of file does a 3D printer need?
A 3D printer requires a special file that precisely describes the object to be printed. The most common file formats for 3D printing are STL and OBJ . These files contain information about the object's geometry, such as shape, size, and structure, so that the 3D printer can create the object layer by layer. Depending on the printer and software, other formats such as STEP or IGES may also be supported.
Which metals can be 3D printed?
From the lightweight design of aluminium to the exceptional strength of titanium, which metal proves to be optimal for your individual applications?
1. Aluminum :
Lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and with good strength. Ideal for lightweight applications, the aerospace industry, and automotive parts.
2. Stainless steel :
A versatile metal with high strength and durability. Frequently used in the manufacture of tools, automotive parts, and household appliances.
3. Titan :
Lightweight, yet extremely strong and corrosion-resistant. Used in fields such as aerospace, medicine, and the military.
4. Copper :
Excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. Frequently used in electronics, piping, and wiring.
5. Inconel :
Nickel alloy with high resistance to heat and corrosion. Ideal for high-temperature applications such as in aerospace and engine manufacturing.
6. Brass :
Copper and zinc alloy with good corrosion resistance and malleability. Often used for fittings, jewelry, and decorations.
These common metals are frequently used in 3D printing and each offers specific properties that make them particularly suitable for different applications.
How long does it take to 3D print something?
3D printing time varies depending on the size and complexity of the object. Smaller objects can be printed in a few hours or minutes , while larger or more complex objects take considerably longer. Our online calculator displays the production time for each component. For large prints, the printing time can extend to several days or even weeks . The exact printing time depends on factors such as object size, print resolution, design complexity, and the material used.
How much does 3D printing in metal cost?
In the field of metal 3D printing, costs can vary depending on the complexity and size of the object. With us, you can calculate prices for metal 3D printing models online. Please note that costs may increase with the size of the object, as more material and time are required for printing. Use our online calculator to obtain transparent and accurate cost estimates for your metal 3D printing projects.
Do you also offer post-processing for the parts?
With us, you not only receive high-quality 3D-printed parts, but also a wide range of post-processing options to refine your projects and meet individual requirements. Our expertise includes sanding, polishing, painting, and much more.
1. Loops :
Through precise grinding, we optimize surfaces and edges for a uniform feel and a perfect fit.
2. Polishing :
With our polishing service, we give your parts a glossy finish for an appealing look.
3. Painting :
Through painting, we provide individual color schemes and protective coatings that increase the longevity of your parts.
4. Sandblasting :
We use sandblasting to remove impurities and residues in order to thoroughly clean surfaces.
5. Laminating with carbon mats :
The integration of carbon mats reinforces your parts and gives them improved stability and strength.
6. Chemical smoothing :
Chemical smoothing allows us to achieve a flawless surface and precise details on your parts.
7. Metal inserts for plastic parts :
The integration of metal inserts into plastic parts offers additional strength and functionality for special applications.
8. Sealing with epoxy resin :
Final sealing with epoxy resin protects and enhances the surfaces of your parts for long-lasting quality and durability.
When does 3D printing make sense?
3D printing is ideally suited for the rapid and cost-effective creation of prototypes . Companies can shorten their product development cycles by quickly creating iterable prototypes to validate design concepts.
For the production of customized products or small batches, 3D printing offers the flexibility to realize unique designs and personalization options. These tailor-made solutions can optimally meet customer needs.
3D printing enables the production of complex geometric shapes and lightweight yet stable structures that would be difficult or impossible to create using conventional manufacturing methods. This is particularly important in aerospace, medicine, and architecture.
You need a specific material or property!
We understand that the sheer variety of materials and new developments in 3D printing can sometimes be overwhelming. If you're unsure or need advice to find the optimal material for your component, we're happy to help.
