Printing Services
Here at Manchester 3D Printing we can offer both SLA printing and FDM Printing. we can accommodate most turn-around times and can also offer a design service if required. Information on the printing processes we are capable can be found below.
SLA printing is a method which used UV sensitive resin and a strong UV light (in our case) to cure the resin in the shape of your product in layers. Commonly this is used for things like miniatures or fine detail work as you can print down at 0.01mm Layers.
FDM Printing is the more common and known method if 3D printing. This takes filament off a roll and feeds it in to a print head which is heated to a set temperature and layers the material up. Cooling it as it is printed. This is a faster process then SLA printing so is perfect for fast turn around projects just fixture design and development.
The maximum sizes we are able to do before cutting models up and joining for both types of printing is:
FDM 750x400x400mm, 400x400x500mm
SLA 120x68x155mm
