Printing Options

FDM Printing

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) creates objects layer by layer by melting and extruding filament through a nozzle.

  • FDM printing can use a variety of materials to ensure the end product meets any required specifications, from miniatures to functional pieces.

  • FDM printing allows for larger scale models and projects, including multiple part objects.

  • Have an idea for a product or part? Our FDM printers can deliver a viable proof of concept for you to work with.

Resin Printing

Resin printing cures liquid resin layer by layer using ultraviolet light from an LED screen.

  • Resin printing allows for highly detailed features. Models are created at an incredible resolution

  • Resin layers can be printed at a fraction of a millimeter in height, making it almost impossible to tell that the finished product was 3D printed.

  • Resin printing allows for the creation of high quality miniatures that surpass traditional injection mold processes.
