What is 3D Printing?
3D printing is an additive process which can use specialized filaments to create a three-dimensional object. You would call our machines fused deposition modelling (FDM) printers. They use spools of polymers heated up to a melting point and then deposited on a build plate. The device then draws layers of patterns on top of each other to create a three-dimensional shape.
How long does it take to 3D print an object?
The time required depends on the size, complexity, and resolution of the object. Simple designs can take a few hours, while larger, intricate projects might take several days.
How accurate are 3D printed objects?
Accuracy can vary depending on the printer and technology used. High-end printers can achieve tolerances within microns, suitable for detailed and precise components.
Can you print multiple colors in one object?
Yes, our 3D printers are capable of multi-color printing by using multiple extruders or specialized filament splicing technology.
How strong are 3D printed parts?
Strength depends on the material and printing process used. Some 3D printed parts can be as strong as traditionally manufactured parts, while others may be more brittle.
Can the 3D printer be used to repair broken items?
Yes, 3D printing can be used to create replacement parts for broken items, often saving money and reducing waste by extending the life of products.
