What is 3D Printing

3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing, is an innovative technique that constructs three-dimensional objects from digital models by layering materials. This approach allows for the creation of complex geometries that traditional manufacturing methods struggle to achieve. Widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods, 3D printing is perfect for both rapid prototyping and producing end-use parts. It reduces material waste and supports sustainability by utilizing advanced materials like thermoplastics, metals, and composites. By accelerating product development, enhancing design flexibility, and delivering high-quality results with quick lead times, 3D printing fosters innovation across various sectors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Discover the answers to common inquiries regarding our CNC machining services. From tolerances to applications, we’ve compiled essential information to assist you in your decision-making process.

Contact Us
  • Why does my print often fail or not form correctly?
    Print failures are often caused by an uneven build platform or poor adhesion. To fix this, calibrate the platform to ensure it is level and apply adhesive aids such as glue stick, hairspray, or a specialized print surface. Additionally, adjust the first layer height and printing speed in your slicer software to secure a strong initial bond.
  • Why does my model have layer separation or cracks?
    Layer separation or cracks occur when the layers don’t bond well. You can improve bonding by increasing the nozzle temperature to ensure proper material melting. Reducing the cooling fan speed or turning it off can prevent layers from cooling too quickly. Lowering the print speed also helps strengthen layer adhesion, especially with materials like ABS that are prone to shrinkage.
  • Why does my model warp or deform after printing?
    Warping is usually caused by material shrinkage due to uneven cooling. To prevent this, use a heated bed and set it to the appropriate temperature for your material (e.g., 50°C for PLA, 90°C for ABS). Printing in an enclosed environment minimizes temperature fluctuations. Additionally, adding supports or increasing the bottom layer thickness in your slicer can help reduce warping.
  • Why does the nozzle clog or extrude unevenly?
    Nozzle clogs are often caused by material buildup or poor-quality filament. Regularly clean the nozzle with a specialized cleaning tool to remove debris and ensure smooth extrusion. If extrusion is uneven, check whether the filament has absorbed moisture or contains impurities, and increase the nozzle temperature slightly to ensure the material flows properly.
  • Why does my model have strings or rough surfaces?
    Stringing or rough surfaces can result from improper retraction settings or high nozzle temperature. Adjust the retraction distance and speed in your slicer software to reduce stringing. Lowering the nozzle temperature can also help control material flow. For rough surfaces, post-processing methods like sanding or applying a coating can improve the finish.
  • How do I choose the right material for my project?
    Different materials serve different purposes. For example, PLA is eco-friendly and easy to print, making it ideal for beginners and prototypes. ABS is strong and heat-resistant, suitable for functional parts but requires a controlled environment. PETG combines PLA’s ease of use with ABS’s strength, making it great for mechanical parts. TPU is a flexible material perfect for elastic components.
