3D Printing
3D Printing is your ideal choice for hard plastic or cast-friendly wax parts in a wide variety of applications ranging from realistic concept models to final part manufacturing. 3D printed parts are precise and ultra detailed enabling you to create your designs with confidence.
3D printed parts enables you to eliminate expensive tooling cost and drastically reduce your time and cost of your product development or production.
Key benefits 3D printed parts key benefits include:
- Superior surface smoothness and fine feature detail without support scaring
- True to design exceptional internal geometry
- Fast, durable hard plastic parts
- Castable patterns
- Exclusive: 100% Real Wax precision high-definition patterns for direct investment casting applications
- Multiple finishing options more details...
Stereolithography (SLA®)
If you need prototypes, patterns or end-use parts with the greatest accuracy, highest definition and best surface finish, SLA models are an excellent investment and can optimize time and money at every stage of the production cycle.
We use next generation, high definition and production SLA technology from 3D Systems, the inventors and global leaders in Stereolithography. Choose from the widest selection of materials, simulating engineering thermoplastic and get outstanding quality parts.
The most demanding industry applications benefit from SLA as parts provide precision and can withstand high temperatures. Formula 1 and other Motorsports, for example, have been using SLA technology for years to advance product performance and get ahead the competition with intense Windtunnel testing.
Key benefits SLA parts are ideally used as master patterns for injection molding core and cavity inserts, thermoforming, sand casting, blow molding, and various metal casting processes.
- Best accuracy and smooth surface finish
- Extreme fine detail capability, ideal for micro parts
- Wide range of material offering
- Materials with PC (transparent) characteristics or high heat resistance
- Exclusive: XL parts – up to 1524mm, eliminating assembly or joints
- Multiple finishing options

Laser Sintering (SLS®)
Sintered parts, or SLS models are ideal when you need tough, stable parts for harsh environment testing or end-use applications. The use of Sintering enables you to eliminate tooling cost and drastically reduce your time and cost of your product development or production.
We use next generation, high precision and production SLS technology from 3D Systems, a global leader in total laser sintering solutions. Choose from the widest selection of materials with properties close to or matching the properties of injection molded parts and get ready-to-use, quality parts.
SLS parts are consistent, stable and durable and provide excellent prototypes and end-use parts for industries and applications that apply demanding and functional testing, giving you the flexibility to modify, optimize and evolve designs on the fly.
Key Benefits SLS parts are ideally used for form, fit and function and direct manufacturing applications. Key benefits include:
- Best accuracy and smooth surface finish
- Consistent part characteristics
- Design to tool-less production runs in one step
- Widest range of materials offering
- Exclusive: DuraForm FR – only flame retardant sintering material on the market
- Multiple finishing options
