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.

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.

Billings developer using 3D printing to cut cost and time for homebuilding

Billings developer launching new 3D homebuilding project
By: Russ Riesinger

Montana is getting in on the ground floor of what could become the next big game-changer in building construction.
The state is the first to give regulatory approval for homes with 3D printed walls—which could save money and time it takes to build a home.
“3-D printing has been around since the ’80s, but in construction, it is not even 10 years old,” says Billings-based contractor Tim Stark, who made the application to the state to gain approval for the construction method.
Stark hopes to soon begin constructing houses in Billings using a large portable robotic machine that prints walls from a concrete and sand material.
“We use a puller printer, where you can just pull it up on a trailer and pull it with a three-quarter-ton pickup. We can pull it off the trailer and be printing in 30 minutes,” he says.
Q2 News
Tim StarkThe technology is developed by Apis Cor, a Florida construction company that has designed 3-D printed walls that comply with international building codes.
Stark says there are a lot of advantages to this type of construction, and he thinks it could make a real difference as Montana struggles to keep up with demand for housing and a shortage of labor.
“Time. It uses less people. So, a 2,000-square-foot house, we could print that in 40 hours or less. Let's say you start out and print in one corner. By the time you get to the other side, it is already set up enough to take the other layer," Stark said.
The 3-D printer makes a lot of designs possible.
“If we want to do a curved wall, you just put in the design and the printer prints it,” he says,
Another advantage is cost. Construction costs are cut significantly by using 3D printing, and there’s a lot less waste that ends up in the landfill.
“Right now, when we print a structure, it's 30 percent less. And expect that to go up as time goes on, as technology advances,” says Stark.
Color can also be added into the mixture to save money on painting and the need for drywall.

3-D printed housesWhile he plans to use concrete for the walls he’ll print for now, he says there’s a lot of talk about other materials that could one day be used, such as geopolymer, hemp, and even soil in some countries.
Stark says trades will still be needed to complete the construction, but the method provides a lot of exciting opportunities for what could be ahead in the future.
Stark calls this the next big advance when it comes to home construction, and he hopes to be printing homes in Billings within the next year.

All about 3D printing: FAQ
Many have already heard about the innovative 3D printing technology.
But until now, not everyone understood what it is, and what it is eaten with. Therefore, most forums and other online communities are simply overwhelmed with a flurry of messages in which people are trying to find out more interesting facts and possibilities of 3D printing.
We are also often asked about this innovation. Thus, we decided to give answers to the most popular questions, so that everyone can deal with this relatively new technology, understand what it is for, and clarify a few interesting points for themselves. So, let's begin.
Is 3D printing magic?
No, of course not. 3D is far from magic, but an ordinary technological process, the same as the usual ones, casting or stamping for all of us, only the technology for creating objects is very different.
- How new is 3D printing technology?
In this case, the concept of "new" is rather loose. If you compare this technology with many others, then yes, it is new.
However, this does not mean that it is among those that have been developed in the next few years. No, this is far from true. After all, for the first time they started talking about 3D printing about 40 years ago, and at 19In 87, the first products created using 3D technology appeared at all.
— Where is 3D printing used?
Scope too broad. Products of this type are used in production, at home, and, perhaps, even in the future will be used in medicine to create prostheses and artificial organs. However, today 3D printers cannot be called popular, since they are of little use in everyday life and are only needed for modeling, designing and creating jewelry.
— Why is this technology called 3D printing?
The fact is that the process itself is really somewhat reminiscent of laser or inkjet printing. But here, instead of paper, a special container is used, filled with various materials (plastic, various types of metals, gypsum, wax, ceramics, etc.
). Also, it is worth considering that in this case, 3D does not mean something virtual. Indeed, with the help of this technology, real volumetric products are created. In addition, there are several different 3D printing technologies (about 10), thanks to which you can create absolutely any product, even such as houses or food.
- How long does it take to print one 3D model?
There is no exact answer to this question. After all, the speed of printing depends on many factors, such as: the material of which the product will consist, the printer model, the size of the print object, technology, and so on. For example, a medium-sized plaster craft can be created within four hours. Accordingly, if it is something small, then it will be printed many times faster than a huge object.
- Then a 3D printer costs a fortune?
Naturally, against the background of other devices for printing, the cost of such products will clearly stand out. However, home 3D printers are built with a simpler design than production machines, and are therefore more than affordable.
