3D Printing Service: Tailored Solutions for Every Project

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

FDM uses heated and extruded thermoplastic filament. CAD models control the 3D printer nozzle, which deposits the filament layer by layer to create final products.

Advantages: There is a wide selection of materials, such as ABS, PLA, etc., which are suitable for use in office environments. These materials are commonly employed in prototype design, educational settings, and household applications, and the cost is relatively low.

Limitations: It has lower precision; directly printed chips may encounter leakage issues, and the surface roughness is higher, so it will require post-processing.

Stereo Lithography Apparatus (SLA)

An ultraviolet laser solidifies liquid photosensitive resin layer by layer according to the machine instructions on a build platform. SLA produces highly detailed 3D parts with smooth finishes.

Advantages: It is high-precision and capable of manufacturing complex microfluidic structures, suitable for rapid iterative design in academic research.

Limitations: Traditional SLA struggles to achieve micron-level accuracy along the Z-axis, and it is prone to over-curing which leads to channel blockages. Moreover, high-resolution printers are expensive.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Uses an infrared laser to sinter powdered material (like nylon or metal) layer by layer, enabling complex geometries and functional prototypes or end-use parts.

Advantages: It is suitable for the manufacture of high-temperature resistance and high-strength, complex components or molds, especially in the production of large and complex parts in fields such as aerospace and automotive manufacturing.

Limitations: The prototype’s cost is high, its surface roughness is relatively high, and the manufacturing process may produce harmful gases.

3DP (3D Printing) Jetting Technology

This printing technology jets binder onto a powder bed material to build a 3D object layer by layer.

Advantages: 3D jetting allows for the simultaneous use of multiple materials, making it suitable for rapid prototyping, small batch production, and manufacturing complex multicolored models such as interior and exterior decorations, medical models, etc.

Limitations: The limited strength of the materials, issues with liquid leakage, and resolution limitations in inkjet printing restrict its applications.

These technologies vary in materials, resolution, and application suitability, but all enable the creation of customized, intricate objects with high precision and efficiency.
