Xometry's High Quality 3D Printing Services

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a powerful 3D printing 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.

An additive manufacturing layer technology, SLS involves the use of a high power laser (for example, a carbon dioxide laser) to fuse small particles of plastic powders into a mass that has a desired three-dimensional shape. The laser selectively fuses powdered material by scanning cross-sections generated from a 3-D digital description of the part (for example from a CAD file or scan data) on the surface of a powder bed. After each cross-section is scanned, the powder bed is lowered by one layer thickness, a new layer of material is applied on top, and the process is repeated until the part is completed.

Stereolithography (SLA)

Stereolithography (SLA) is a robust 3D printing technology that produces extremely accurate and high-resolution parts that are capable of being used directly in end-use, low-volume production, or for rapid prototyping.

SLA is an additive manufacturing process that focuses an ultraviolet (UV) light on a vat of photopolymer resin. It offers higher resolution printing than many other 3D printing technologies, allowing customers to print parts with fine details and surface finishes. SLA 3D printing is a highly-versatile platform for making custom parts in prototype and production settings; often acting as a stand-in for injection-molded plastic parts.

Xometry offers both standard and high-resolution options for fine detail parts, and can also print larger sized parts and products, with some materials offering up to a 58" inch build area. In addition, Xometry's manufacturing partner network allows us to offer a larger variety of materials than other 3D printing companies - we offer a wide range of both Accura and Somos brand materials.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a 3D printing technology widely known for its speed, accuracy, and competitive cost. A machine precisely extrudes melted plastic filament to create a part. Parts are very rigid, especially compared to Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), which makes them a great fit for projects with a rigidity requirement. Xometry's FDM solution offers large build volumes up to 24″ x 36″ x 36″, a variety of colors, and a diverse selection of production-grade thermoplastics — from ABS to Polycarbonate to Ultem.

HP Multi Jet Fusion (HP MJF)

HP Multi Jet Fusion is a new 3D printing 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. Since the process uses well-established 2D printing ink-jetting, it has remarkably fast layer times compared to other powder bed fusion technologies.

PolyJet 3D (PJ3D)

PolyJet 3D is a 3D printing technology known for its customizable material properties and excellent surface finish. It works by jetting UV curable resin onto a build tray in a process that is somewhat similar to inkjet printing. PolyJet 3D printing offers one of the most advanced industrial 3D printing solutions available, producing parts with incredible precision and speed. It also supports a wide variety of build materials including rigid and rubber-like plastics. Xometry's PolyJet solution has a maximum build envelope of 19. 3 × 15.4 × 7.9 in. (490 × 390 × 200 mm) in a variety of colors and materials.

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)

Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) is an 3D metal printing technology that builds prototype and production metal parts from a CAD file using a laser to selectively fuse a fine metal powder in either stainless steel or aluminum materials. A DMLS machine is capable of producing highly complex features and all-in-one assemblies using metal materials that would be difficult to achieve with subtractive manufacturing techniques.

Our DMLS metal 3D printing service typically offers build volumes up to 250 x 250 x 325 mm, but we may be able to accommodate larger part volumes upon request in the quote. (See our Manufacturing Standards for more details) A good first step is to find out the cost of the parts you need using DMLS and compare them to other 3D printing processes and CNC machining.

Download the DMLS Design Guide.

Carbon DLS™

Carbon DLS™ uses digital light projection, oxygen-permeable optics, and programmable liquid resins to produce products with end-use durability, resolution and surface finish. This 3D printing technology is called Digital Light Synthesis™, or DLS for short. Another legacy term for the process is Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP). Along with Carbon’s custom liquid resins, DLS unlocks new business opportunities and product designs previously impossible, including mass customization and on-demand inventory of end-use products.

Carbon bridges, and sometimes substitutes, for processes like Urethane Casting and Injection Molding service production, because the materials are urethane-based or epoxy-based, giving excellent mechanical properties. There are even elastomer and silicone resins that outperform most additive manufactured rubber-like materials.

The typical build area is 7.4” x 4.6” x 12.8”. Parts with dimensions exceeding 4” x 4” x 6” will require manual review.

Download the Carbon DLS Design Guide.

Metal Binder Jetting

With binder jetting, an inkjet print head quickly deposits a bonding agent onto a thin layer of powdered particles -- either metal, sand, ceramics or composites. This process is repeated, layer-by-layer, using a map from a digital design file, until the object is complete. Binder jetting is offered through our Digital RFQ Marketplace through Xometry's partnership with ExOne.

Follow this link to read more about our quality assurance measures.

How do I select the right 3D printing process for my prints?

You can select the right 3D printing process by examining which materials suit your need and what your use case is.

By material: if you already know which material you would like to use, selecting a 3D printing process is relatively easy, as many materials are technology specific.
By use case: once you know whether you need a functional or visual part, choosing a process is easy.

For more help, read our guide to selecting the right 3D printing process. Find out more about Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and Stereolithography (SLA).

How can I reduce the cost of my 3D prints?

In order to reduce the cost of your 3D prints you need to understand the impact certain factors have on cost. The main cost influencing factors are the material type, individual part volume, printing technology and post-processing requirements.

Once these have been decided, an easy way to further cut costs is to reduce the amount of material used. This can be done by decreasing the size of your model, hollowing it out, and eliminating the need for support structures.

Cafe opens in Miami with 3D printed steel structure MX3D

News

Today, downtown Miami will be enriched with an unusual structure - a 3D printed outdoor cafe made of stainless steel by a special MX3D 3D printer.

Almost in the heart of Florida's most populous city is the Perez Art Museum. The construction of the new building was completed four years ago, and its appearance can be safely called ... bold. The fragile-looking building sits right on the shores of Biscayne Bay, and therefore fell right into the center of the recent powerful hurricane Irma. However, the architects were well aware of this possibility, because Miami is no stranger to stormy weather, and therefore they laid the necessary safety margin into the design. The museum brilliantly endured the pressure of the elements, even the hanging gardens above the entrance survived, and now that everything has calmed down, a small cafe will be installed next to the main building, worthy of being called a piece of modern art in itself.

As conceived by Berenblum Busch Architects, the cafe should resemble a cozy cocoon: the openwork design creates a feeling of comfort and safety, and at the same time does not interfere with the breeze, which is so necessary on hot days. Continuing the entomological theme, the creators dubbed the design "Cucuyo", that is, "firefly" in Spanish.

The construction was made by the Dutch company MX3D, the same company that has been working on the world's first 3D printed all-metal bridge for the third year. Now we know another reason for the delay of the main project. On the other hand, innovative printers also need to earn some money. Production was carried out using a specialized industrial 3D printer of our own design based on a robotic arm, equipped with a steel wire feeder and an electric welding machine, although in some places it was necessary to err on the side of manual welding.

“Designing a lightweight yet fully functional and transportable structure was no easy task. That is why we decided to work on the project in cooperation with MX3D. The unique technology of this company made it possible to create a specialized building that fully meets the requirements of strength and at the same time is in perfect harmony with the architectural and landscape composition of the museum,” says Claudia Busch, co-founder of Berenblum Busch Architects.

Despite the size and use of steel, the finished structure does not weigh that much, only about 320 kilograms. For ease of transportation, the cafe is disassembled into several parts. When assembled, the structure reaches six meters in length, three and a half in width and almost three meters in height.

Doctors printed a 3D heart to save a 4-year-old baby0001

The operation, which was to be performed by physicians from Miami, was unique and complex, so much so that even the chief surgeon of the hospital could not imagine all the details of its implementation. A three-dimensional model helped to work out the steps.

American doctors have proven in practice that 3D printing can provide invaluable assistance in planning major operations, which, due to their low prevalence, are not yet well developed. Good News The Miami Herald told its readers about the use of 3D printing for such purposes.

In a hospital in Miami, Florida, doctors struggled for a long time to help a 4-year-old girl with a heart condition. Twice she had operations - but both times the problem reappeared after a while. The blood, saturated with oxygen in the lungs, did not want to return to the desired area of ​​the heart, but was directed to another part of the organ. Because of this, the child constantly lacked air, and the heart could not cope with the load. Recently, the doctors who treated the girl finally realized that only a unique operation using donor tissues could help in this case. Previously, no one in the world had done this, but there was no choice: if you didn’t do it, then the girl was doomed to die within a few weeks or even days.

At that moment, the doctors came up with the idea that at first all the details of the planned surgical intervention could be worked out on a printed 3D model of the baby's heart. They reproduced an exact copy of the girl's organ on the latest printing device and thoroughly studied the features of its structure, taking into account the slightest nuances. In the end, the operation was successful.

Dr. Redmond P. Burke, head of cardiovascular surgery at Miami Hospital, who personally performed the complex operation, told reporters, "Before I saw the 3D model, I just couldn't imagine how to do it." And this is despite the great experience of this doctor. “I don’t know if this will work,” he continued, “But I think at least we got a chance, and it was worth it to injure a child’s heart with medical instruments for the third time.”

Doctors hope that this time the problem has been eliminated forever. The girl is on the mend at a fast pace. Now she is still in a medical institution, but she already walks and plays.

Let's add that the Miami hospital acquired the 3D printer shortly before the events described. The cost of the device and software for it amounted to 150 thousand dollars.
