Rapid prototyping

*** 3 Dimension Printing *** 

So Many Applications, So Many Advantages 

Lead time: Normally 1-3 business days depending on the capacity of the printers when we receive payment. Local customers are welcomed to pick up models from our facility 

DDM Layer thickness: Horizontal build layers can be built in three options fine (.007"), standard (.010"), and rough draft (.013") 

Minimum Wall Thickness: .020" 

Dimensional Tolerances: ABS models maintain tolerances of +/- .005" for the first inch, and +/- 0.002" for each additional inch. In the z height (vertical), standard tolerances of +/- 0.010" for the first inch, +/- 0.002” on every inch thereafter. 

Build size: for a single piece is 8" x 8" x 12". Models that are larger than the build envelope can be divided, printed as separate pieces, & assembled. 

= Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a solid-based rapid prototyping method that extrudes material, layer-by-layer.
