Plastic 3D printing service often referred to as additive manufacturing, involves creating three-dimensional objects by depositing plastic material layer by layer based on a digital model.

Metal 3D printing is an advanced manufacturing process that builds three-dimensional metal parts by fusing or melting metal powders layer by layer according to a digital design.












Common metal and plastic 3D printing materials used by PremFixer include the following.
| Consideration Factor | Description & Industrial Application |
|---|---|
| Mechanical Performance | Evaluate critical specs such as tensile strength, impact resistance, and fatigue life to ensure structural integrity for heavy-duty industrial components. |
| Thermal Stability | Analyze Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT) and thermal expansion rates, essential for parts in automotive engines or aerospace environments. |
| Chemical & Corrosion Resistance | Determine material compatibility with oils, solvents, and fuels. Crucial for medical-grade and marine-ready components. |
| Technology Compatibility | Match materials with specific 3D processes like SLM/DMLS for metal alloys or SLA/FDM for high-performance polymers. |
| Precision & Surface Finish | Assessment of surface roughness (Ra) and detail resolution, factoring in post-processing like CNC bead blasting or polishing. |
| Production Cost Optimization | Balancing raw material expense with printing efficiency to achieve the best ROI for custom prototypes or low-volume manufacturing. |
| Scalability & Volume | Choosing materials that allow for seamless transition from rapid prototyping to batch production without compromising quality. |
| Regulatory Compliance | Ensuring materials meet global industrial standards including ISO 9001, RoHS, REACH, or FDA requirements for safety. |
| Turnaround Time | Optimization of material choice to ensure rapid lead times and meet critical project deadlines in fast-paced markets. |
| Technology | Technical Process | Industrial Materials | Strategic Benefits & Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selective Laser Melting (SLM) | A high-energy fiber laser fuses spherical metal powder layer by layer. This Powder Bed Fusion process occurs in an inert argon environment to ensure 99.9% part density. | Stainless Steel (316L/17-4PH), Aluminum (AlSi10Mg), Titanium (Ti6Al4V), Inconel, and Tool Steel. |
Benefits: Superior structural integrity, high thermal conductivity, and fully functional metal components. Applications: Aerospace turbine blades, medical implants, and high-pressure manifolds. |
| Stereolithography (SLA) | A precision UV laser initiates photopolymerization, curing liquid resin into solid layers. Ideal for micron-level detail and ultra-smooth surfaces. | Engineering Resins (Tough, Flexible, Clear, High-Temp) and Biocompatible resins. |
Benefits: Unmatched surface finish (Ra < 1.6μm) and dimensional accuracy for complex master patterns. Applications: Investment casting patterns, dental surgical guides, and high-detail aesthetic prototypes. |
| Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) | A CO2 laser sinters thermoplastic powder. The self-supporting powder bed enables complex organic geometries without the need for manual support removal. | Nylon (PA11/PA12), Glass-filled Polyamides, and TPU (Flexible). |
Benefits: Isotropic mechanical properties, highly durable for functional testing, and batch production efficiency. Applications: Custom air ducts, wearable devices, and lightweight robotic grippers. |
| Key Specifications | Metal (SLM) | Resin (SLA) | Nylon (SLS) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Structural Wall Thickness | Min. 0.8 mm | 0.6 mm (unsupported) / 0.4 mm (supported) | 0.7 mm (PA12) to 2.0 mm (Carbon-filled) |
| Layer Resolution | 30 – 50 μm | 25 μm – 100 μm | 100 – 120 μm |
| Industrial Build Envelope | Up to 400 x 400 x 350 mm | Up to 800 x 800 x 550 mm | Up to 400 x 400 x 350 mm |
| Dimensional Tolerance | ±0.2 mm (±0.25% for >100 mm) | ±0.1 mm (±0.15% for >100 mm) | ±0.3 mm (±0.35% for >100 mm) |
| Rapid Turnaround | 5 Business Days | 3 Business Days | 5 Business Days |
