3D Plastic Printing Services​

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.

3D Metal Printing Services

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.


Excellent Custom 3D printing Parts We Made


Metal & Plastic 3D Printing Materials We Offer

“Choosing between metal vs. plastic 3D printing depends on your project’s mechanical requirements. Plastic 3D printing services offer unmatched versatility for lightweight prototypes and low-stress functional parts. Conversely, our professional metal 3D printing service utilizes sintering technology to create complex, high-strength metal parts that traditional CNC machining cannot achieve. From biocompatible medical implants to heat-resistant automotive housings, PremFixer delivers precision additive manufacturing for every industry.”

Common metal and plastic 3D printing materials used by PremFixer include the following.

What Factors Should Be Considered When Choosing A Metal or A Plastic for 3D printing?

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.
