The main advantage of using 3D printing is its versatility and flexibility, which makes it suitable for rapid prototyping and low volume production to meet immediate needs for a variety of applications and industries including aerospace, automotive, consumer products, industrial products like special machinery, healthcare and medical, and architecture and construction industries.

At Renderfact we can built the appropriate 3D printing solution for our customer. We are your one-stop-shop for accurate, precise custom 3D printed parts at an affordable price.

Below are some of the benefits of 3D Printing and How it Works!

Advantages of 3d-printing

Accelerated Time-to-Market.

From the design through quality assurance to final product delivery, additive manufacturing reduces the time-to-market from months to days. The dependency on traditional manufacturing tooling, designs, fixtures, and materials is eliminated.

Production efficiency

Multiple, identical parts can be built on a single platform at one time, greatly increasing production efficiency.

Complexity geometry

It costs less to print a complex part instead of a simple cube of the same size. The more complex (or the less solid the object is), the faster and cheaper it can be made through additive manufacturing.

Variety is free

If a part needs to be changed, the change can simply be made on the original CAD file, and the new product can be printed right away.

Few constraints

Anything you can dream up and design in the CAD software, you can create with additive manufacturing.

Less waste

Because only the material that is needed is used, there is very little (if any) material wasted.

Metal 3D Printing (DMLS)

Metal 3D printing is a revolutionary technology that produces impossible-to-make parts directly from your CAD data. The DMLS machine begins sintering each layer—first the support structures to the base plate, then the part itself—with a laser aimed onto a bed of metallic powder. The combination of a fine-tuned laser, powder and advanced additive processes form a powerful design freedom. Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) fuses powdered metal and alloy materials to produce metal parts. DMLS produces fully realized metal parts, including tools and end-use parts for a variety of industries.

Advantages to this process include the ability to Produce complex geometries ideal for prototypes, low-volume parts, and end-use parts without the need for traditional manufacturing processes such as machining and casting. Parts can be made quickly with a minimum of material waste making them ideal for next-generation engineering in aerospace, medical, automotive and other industries.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) systems and related technologies are the most accessible and widely used form of 3D printing. FDM is a 3D printing process that extrudes melted plastic filament through a nozzle to create the part layer by layer. This process creates an accurate representation of the 3D file in relatively little time. The printed prototypes are rigid, especially compared to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), which makes them a great fit for projects with a rigidity requirement. The production-grade thermoplastic material used is suitable for detailed functional prototypes, durable manufacturing tools & low-volume manufacturing parts.

FDM 3D printing technology builds durable and functional prototypes that can withstand rigorous testing. Ideal for functional parts, including prototypes, low-volume production, manufacturing aids, jigs and fixtures. The FDM process uses the same types of raw materials used in the injection molding process. This technology includes use of support material to create complex parts and assemblies.

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an Additive Manufacturing process that belongs to the Powder Bed Fusion family. In SLS, a laser selectively sinters the particles of a polymer powder, fusing them together and building a part layer-by-layer. The materials used in SLS are thermoplastic polymers that come in a granular form. SLS technology that produces highly accurate and durable parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping.

SLS is one of the most inexpensive options for industrial 3D printing services because it can build parts in bulk without support structure requirements. SLS offers a very high design freedom, high accuracy and produces parts with good and consistent mechanical properties, unlike FDM or SLA. SLS 3D printing has been used for consumer goods in the medical, footwear and beauty industries, Jigs, Fixtures & Other Tooling, Snap Fits & Housing.

Polyjet

PolyJet 3D printing technology known for its customizable material properties that produces smooth, accurate parts, prototypes and tooling. it can produce thin walls and complex geometries using the widest range of materials available with any technology. PolyJet 3D printing is like inkjet document printing. But instead of jetting drops of ink onto paper, PolyJet 3D printers jet layers of liquid photopolymer onto a build tray and cure them with UV light. The layers build up one at a time to create a 3D model or prototype. Fully cured models can be handled and used immediately, without additional post-curing.

Our advanced 3D printing equipment allows for fast product creation in complex shapes, intricate details and delicate features. The technology works with a vast array of materials, including rigid opaque in hundreds of vibrant colors, clear and tinted translucent shades, rubber-like flexible materials, and specialized photopolymers for 3D printing in the dental, medical and consumer product industries.

Stereolithography (SLA)

Stereolithography commonly known as resin 3D printing. SLA is one of the most accurate of the additive technologies, the Stereolithography 3D printing process is a popular choice amongst engineers looking for fine detailed, small, featured parts as well as extraordinarily large components. The SLA machine begins drawing the layers of the support structures, followed by the part itself, with an ultraviolet laser aimed onto the surface of a liquid thermoset resin. After a layer is imaged on the resin surface, the build platform shifts down and a recoating bar moves across the platform to apply the next layer of resin. The process is repeated layer by layer until the build is complete.

SLA is a go-to choose for 3D printed models that require accurate features and a smooth surface finish. Renderfact offers both standard and high-resolution options for fine detail parts and can also print larger sized parts and products. With the ability to produce complex features with good mechanical properties, SLA 3D prints are often used for final fit checks before moving to injection molding services.

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)

Multi Jet Fusion is a new 3D printing technology, offering you more possibilities for complex, lower-cost parts. Whether used in serial production for single parts or batch manufacturing by shipsets of multiple part numbers, Multi Jet Fusion offers a faster, more cost-effective process for 3D printed parts. The Multi Jet Fusion process starts with a layer of material applied to the work area. In the opposite direction, in one continuous pass, the machine prints fusing and detailing agents across the full working area. This pass combines the printing with the fusing energy, and the process is completed. The innovative technology prints quickly along the bed width, enabling extreme precision and dimensional accuracy.

Multi Jet Fusion is an excellent technology for applications like thin walls, ductwork, connectors, brackets, housings clips and guides. Industries can benefit from Multi Jet Fusion higher volume capabilities through limited run, pre-production and spare parts.

Finishes

Renderfact provides surface finishes on all 3D-printed parts, including painting, polishing, powder coating and bead blasting.

Painting the surface of a part improves its aesthetic appearance and can provide brand recognition to consumers. In addition, painting can have a protective effect on parts.

Polishing is the process of creating a smooth and shiny surface, either through physical rubbing of the part or by chemical interference. The process produces a surface with significant specular reflection, but in some materials is able to reduce diffuse reflection.

Powder coating forms a durable, wear resistant and corrosion resistant layer on the surface of parts. Powder coating can be used to apply colors to parts and is compatible with any metal.

Bead blasting results in parts with a smooth surface with a matte texture. Used mainly for visual applications and can be followed by other surface treatments.
