Question 1

How is 3D printing service pricing calculated?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on model size/volume, process (SLA/SLS/SLM), material, finishing, quantity, and lead time. Get a fast quote with automated analysis and expert review.

Question 2

What information is needed for a 3D printing quote?

Accepted Answer

Please provide a 3D file (STEP/STL) or drawing, quantity, material/color, use case, and requirements for tolerances and surface quality.

Question 3

When is metal 3D printing (SLM) a good fit?

Accepted Answer

It is ideal for metal parts that need complex geometry, lightweighting, or low-volume production. It is especially useful when strength and heat resistance matter.

Question 4

Can I paint directly on 3D printed parts?

Accepted Answer

If you paint the product right after receiving it, the layer lines from the additive process may still be visible. Our standard sanding focuses on support removal, so smaller parts or intricate details may not be fully smoothed.

For the best finish, we recommend performing additional sanding and applying a surface primer before painting.

Question 5

Can I supply my own material for 3D printing?

Accepted Answer

No. For quality and safety, only verified materials are used per machine specification.

Question 6

Can I specify build orientation or bed placement?

Accepted Answer

The production direction, bed placement surface, print speed, etc. are set to the optimal production method at the discretion of the production engineer.

Question 7

What’s the difference between translucent and fully transparent resin finishes?

Accepted Answer

When using clear resin, the default output is semi-transparent.

By applying surface sanding and transparent finishing to the semi-transparent part, it can be processed into a transparent product similar to acrylic, as shown below.

Question 8

Is 3D printing only suitable for prototyping? Can it be used for mass production as well?

Accepted Answer

3D printing is highly versatile. It supports not only rapid prototyping but also small-batch production and bridge manufacturing. From early concept validation to end-use parts, 3D printing can be applied across a wide range of development stages.

Question 9

Is Sand Blasting a lower-quality option?

Accepted Answer

No. Sand blasting is not intended to reduce quality, but to standardize the process for consistent results and better cost efficiency.Basic support removal and general surface cleaning are included, while additional precision surface finishing steps are excluded.

Question 10

What is the difference between Sand Blasting and Surface Finishing as post-processing options for 3D printing?

Accepted Answer

Sand blasting is a post-processing option that focuses on support mark removal and general surface cleaning, offering faster lead times and better cost efficiency.Surface finishing, on the other hand, includes additional precision sanding and polishing after support removal, providing higher appearance quality as a premium option.You can choose the appropriate option based on your application and required quality level.(Left) Sand Blasting / (Right) Surface Finishing

Question 11

Which option should I choose depending on my application?

Accepted Answer

For functional prototypes such as form verification or assembly testing, sand blasting is recommended due to its faster turnaround time and cost efficiency.For applications where appearance quality is critical—such as display models, photography, or parts before painting—surface finishing is recommended, as it provides a more uniform and smoother surface.
