3D Printing Services

Overview

Our 3D printing services are clear and adaptable to your needs. We accept models in STL, 3MF, or STEP formats and validate all designs before printing to ensure compatibility with your chosen materials and processes.

Need modifications or don’t have a 3D model ready? Our design team can create or adjust designs based on your requirements.

Pricing Structure

Our straightforward pricing is based on the materials used. It covers file preparation, printer setup, model validation, consumables, waste, electricity, machine wear, and the material itself.
