Print on Demand
3D printing works amazing for initial designs. Make changes to your initial product until you are satisfied with the design.
Produce batches of your product before you move to mass production. Or if you need several variations of similar parts.

FDM
Fused Deposition Modeling
It's the most common method of 3D printing as well as most cost effective. It extrudes plastics through a nozzle and prints layer by layer.
Material
PLA, ABS, PET-G, Carbon, Metal
Cost per Batch

SLS
Selective Laser Sintering
SLS uses a laser that sinters powered naylon layer by layer. Because the laser only sinters the part, the unsintered powder supports the model, allowing for support-free models.
Material
PA12
Cost per batch

Resin
Resin printers use light to cure entire layers of prints at once decreasing the time needed for prints. This leads to faster print times, smoother finishes and higher detail for more complex prints. However Resin requires post processing and is limiting in the volume a model can be.
