DMLS and SLM are metal powder bed fusion processes that use a laser to fuse metal powder layer by layer. Both are used to manufacture strong metal parts with complex geometries. The best process depends on material, part geometry, strength requirements, and application needs.

Metal 3D printing is best for complex metal prototypes, lightweight structures, internal channels, lattice designs, functional metal parts, custom components, replacement parts, and low-volume metal production without tooling.

Upload your CAD files and share your color, material, transparency, rubber-like feature, Shore hardness, quantity, tolerance, surface finish, and application requirements. Our engineers will review your project and provide material recommendations, DFM feedback, lead time, and quotation details.

We accept common 3D model formats including STL, STEP, STP, OBJ, IGES, SLDPRT, and 3MF. Drawings, renderings, color references, CMF files, and product images can help us provide better material and appearance recommendations.

Please provide CAD files, drawings, quantity, material requirements, color references, transparent areas, rubber-like sections, Shore hardness requirements, surface finish, tolerance, inspection needs, and application details.

PolyJet is mainly recommended for visual prototypes, product review models, user testing samples, medical models, and presentation prototypes. For stronger functional nylon parts or end-use components, SLS or MJF may be a better choice.

Yes. PolyJet parts can be cleaned, polished, painted, clear coated, assembled, visually inspected, dimensionally checked, and packaged based on appearance, transparency, presentation, and delivery requirements.

Typical PolyJet lead time is 3–7 days for many prototype projects. Lead time may vary depending on part size, material combination, color requirements, quantity, finishing, assembly, inspection, and packaging needs.

Typical PolyJet tolerance is around ±0.1–0.2 mm, depending on part size, geometry, wall thickness, material combination, print orientation, support removal, finishing, and inspection requirements.

PolyJet is better for full-color, multi-material, transparent, rubber-like, and realistic product prototypes. SLA is often better for smooth single-material resin parts, clear resin prototypes, fine-detail appearance models, and lower-cost resin samples.

Yes. Transparent PolyJet materials can be used for clear windows, display areas, covers, fluid path models, lenses, medical visualization, and prototypes with visible internal structures. Polishing or clear coating may be recommended when better clarity is required.

Yes. PolyJet can combine rigid, flexible, transparent, rubber-like, and colored material areas in one printed model, making it suitable for overmold-like samples, soft-touch grips, buttons, seals, and ergonomic product prototypes.

Yes. PolyJet can produce full-color prototype parts for product appearance review, CMF evaluation, marketing samples, user testing, medical visualization, and presentation models.

PolyJet materials include rigid photopolymers, transparent materials, rubber-like materials, full-color materials, and multi-material combinations. Different material options can be selected based on appearance, flexibility, transparency, color, Shore hardness, and application requirements.

PolyJet 3D printing is best for realistic product models, full-color prototypes, multi-material samples, transparent features, rubber-like parts, medical models, overmold-like prototypes, user testing models, and presentation-ready samples.

We accept common 3D model formats including STL, STEP, STP, OBJ, IGES, SLDPRT, and 3MF. Technical drawings with tolerance, material, finish, quantity, and critical dimensions help us provide a more accurate quote.

Important design factors include wall thickness, layer lines, holes, clearances, support structures, part orientation, material selection, large part splitting, bonding areas, surface finish, and tolerance requirements.

Yes. FDM is widely used for assembly fixtures, inspection jigs, positioning tools, holders, guides, guards, templates, and other production support parts because it is cost-effective and fast to produce.

Yes. FDM parts can be support-removed, sanded, painted, vapor smoothed for selected materials, fitted with threaded inserts, bonded, assembled, inspected, and packaged based on project requirements.
