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.

We have partners in our network with the following certifications, available on request: ISO9001, ISO13485 and AS9100.
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.

To learn more, read our full guide on how to reduce the cost of 3D printing.

Sacramento Public Library Offers 3D Printing Design Lab

3D printers move at the speed of light, it seems, in terms of their development. Two of the positives are that the quality continues to rise and the prices continue to drop. But many people are still not ready to buy, which is understandable. So I started a list of 3D printing in public libraries so you could find, at least in the US, to get started with a 3D printer from free to inexpensive.

Every few weeks I work on a more detailed profile about a particular library to give you an idea of ​​what's available and provide you with a resource you can use to help your public library decide to add a 3D printer,

The Sacramento Public Library has a 3D printing lab at the Arcade branch. The lab is housed in an area they call "The Design Spot". It includes three 3D printers (3 Makerbot Replicator 2 machines, 1 PrintrBot Jr.) and computers with AutoCAD and Photoshop software. This equipment, books, and software for creating the Spot were provided with funding provided by a grant from the California State Library. The goal of this new 3D technology focused area is to inspire new interest for people of all ages.

Two 3D printers such as The Design Spot use PLA material. You can read about different materials on my LINK LINK, but PLA (polylactic acid) is a corn-derived bioplastic and therefore recyclable. The library does not charge for 3D printing during print times. As with many public places, there are restrictions on what you can print. However, before you print, always check with any public 3D printing lab.

Design Spot offers classes in 3D Design to help you get started.

I'm a huge fan of public libraries offering creators and 3D printing labs, but it's not always an easy offer, so if you have an interest in volunteering, I recommend stopping by your local library to see if you can help. .

In my list of public libraries, I mentioned visiting the Children's Center for Public Libraries, which has a teen/youth target audience: they call it HYPE: Help Young People Excel. As you can tell, their mission is somewhat broader than 3D printing, which I've heard from many communities. HYPE offers the Makerbot Replicator as well as a host of electronic DIY stuff: Raspberry Pi's, Arduinos and more. These are regular users of Tinkercad, 123D Catch and other easy to use free apps that most developers love.

Public libraries are often the first place people go when they are trying to learn about new technology. So, if you're part of the effort, please get in touch, as I'd love to hear from people who are making an effort to create a developer lab or 3D printing in their community. My current list contains about 25 or 26 public libraries, and I know there are more of you! Contact us by clicking my name in the above line.

3D printed self-driving bus

Arizona-based Local Motors has unveiled a self-driving 3D printed electric bus called Olli 2.0. Local Motors was founded in 2007 by John B. Rogers and is headquartered in Phoenix. The company designs vehicles using 3D printing. This concept is not only focused on the production of vehicles, but on how to revolutionize the business of manufacturing cars.

The speed at which Local Motors operates helps the company reach out to rapidly evolving technical partners. "Technology vendors see us as a way to bring their products to market," said Justin Fishkin, director of strategy for Local Motors. “This is the world's first autonomous on-demand shuttle. So basically you call him on the app and he picks you up just like Uber and he talks to you.”
In 2016, an American company introduced an autonomous 3D-printed bus, the Olli, with electric drive. Blue rectangular autonomous shuttle with large windows attracts attention. The bus was advertised as a smart, safe, sustainable transportation option suitable for campuses, hospitals and city centers. Carrying up to 12 people, the electric vehicle is equipped with cutting-edge technologies, including IBM Watson Internet of Things (IoT), to improve the passenger experience and enable natural interaction with the car.

In September, the company launched the Olli 2.0 model. These vehicles are made from recycled materials. In collaboration with Deutsche Bahn, a low-speed shuttle can be seen on the streets of Berlin, which was recently introduced on the campus of Sacramento State University. According to Local Motors, the Olli 2.0 has been designed with a lot of options, including natural language recognition.

While the first and second generation shuttles look almost the same (Olli 2 has two more seats), digitally they are completely different. The hallmark of Olli 2.0 is an improved user interface and more options for customers. For example, the interior can be reconfigured for healthcare facilities that may want to transport people in gurneys or wheelchairs.
Olli 2.0 has a device for face and mood tracking and route optimization developed by MIT startup Affectiva. A 3D printed bus can reach a top speed of 25 miles per hour. Passengers can interact with Olli as they travel from point A to point B, discussing topics about how a car works, where passengers go, and why.
