3D printing is a process that turns your digital CAD model into a real part, layer by layer. At ProtoMandi, we offer two types:
| Feature | FDM (Filament) | SLA (Resin) |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Functional parts, cost-effective | High-detail cosmetic or precise models |
| Print Surface | Visible layer lines | Smooth, near-injection molded finish |
| Tolerances | ±0.3 mm | ±0.1 mm |
| Strength | High (ABS, PETG) | Medium (resin-dependent) |
| Applications | Brackets, enclosures, jigs | Dental, housings, snap-fit designs |
| Material | Process | Key Properties | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|
| PLA | FDM | Rigid, biodegradable, beginner-friendly | Basic prototypes, quick concept models |
| ABS | FDM | Durable, heat-resistant, machinable | Functional testing, enclosures |
| PETG | FDM | Tough, semi-flexible, chemical-resistant | Load-bearing, wear parts |
| TPU | FDM | Flexible, rubber-like, abrasion-resistant | Gaskets, grips, wearable prototypes |
| Clear Resin | SLA | Transparent, brittle | Cosmetic lenses, visual models |
| Tough Resin | SLA | Snap-fit ready, rigid, impact-resistant | Mechanical, dental, or structural parts |
| Add-On | Description |
| Threaded Inserts | Heat-set or press-fit brass inserts |
| Painting | Matte, gloss, or satin surface finish |
| Fitment Testing | Manual matching against mating parts |
| Support Removal | SLA print cleaning and finishing |
| Assembly Service | Multi-part joins or simple subassemblies |
