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.

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.

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.

3D Printed Shell Helped Cleopatra the Tortoise Relieve Pain

It all started in Golden, Colorado at Canyon Critters Rescue, a company that takes care of abandoned pets and educates people about how to properly and responsibly keep homes reptiles. While working for Los Angeles County Animal Control, Canyon Critters founder Nicola "Nico" Novelli began taking rescued pets home to prevent them from being euthanized. Among the lucky ones at his home is Cleopatra, a tortoise suffering from a painful and potentially dangerous condition. nine0003

“Turtles that are malnourished or fed the wrong food develop pyramidal shell growth (metabolic bone disease). When the turtles play and mate, they crawl on top of each other and then all the weight falls on the protruding "peaks" of the pyramids of the shell, grinding them down. I wanted to protect these areas because when the tortoise shell wears off, the animal becomes more vulnerable to bacteria and infection,” explains Novelli.

Novelli provided the tortoise with proper nutrition in the first place, but he wanted to do more for Cleopatra. In one of the public education programs he has run in support of the nursery, Novelli talked about his idea to 3D print a shell that could be placed on top of a tortoise shell as a protective overlay. Among those present was an employee of the Technical University of Colorado, who offered to help Novelli to realize his plan. nine0003

Together with TU and Denver's 3D Printing Store, who scanned Cleopatra's shell and donated materials for the project, Novelli's idea was brought to life. The 3D Printing Store took over scanning and measuring, while Colorado Tech University commissioned the development of the 3D model itself to senior student Roger Henry, who spent about 600 hours prototyping and making changes to the model. The entire project was managed by Dr. Lanka Elson, Head of IT at Colorado Tech University. nine0003

“The project started with a digital scan by Debra Wilcox's team (at the 3D Printing Store in Colorado Springs). They created a 3D scan of Cleopatra,” says Dr. Lanka Elson. - From these images, accurate data on the size and shape of Cleopatra's damaged shell were obtained. Based on this data, we transferred the scanned images to several 3D modeling programs, and then created the basis for making the carapace. More than twelve different programs were used during the project. Using the MakerBot Replicator 2 3D printer, we created models of a turtle and a prototype artificial shell at 25% and 45% scale. These prototypes played a critical role in the final 3D printing decision. Due to the size of the real shell and the limitations of the printer's working platform, the prototype was printed in four parts." nine0003

“I am grateful to everyone who volunteered their time and effort to help me,” says Novelli. “The nursery has neither the funds nor the materials to carry out a project of this magnitude. Volunteers have provided invaluable assistance to me and the nursery.”

Now Cleopatra feels fine, she does not have to worry about other turtles hurting her or getting an infection in her worn shell. It is expected that a number of improvements will soon be made to the design of the artificial shell, such as Velcro fasteners and ventilation holes. Cleopatra is still a very young tortoise and she probably has many decades of life ahead of her. Novelli says that such turtles live safely up to 80 years, and Cleopatra will still grow by 200-300%. This means that as she grows older, new shells will need to be made. nine0003

RCAM TECHNOLOGIES and ACCUCODE target 3D printing for offshore wind turbines

January 09, 2020

Concrete 3D printing startup RCAM Technologies, Inc. has partnered with IT services provider Accucode. Together, the companies will work to create large-scale 3D printed concrete structures for offshore wind turbines.

Part of the project will be performed at the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). After initial testing, the 3D printed RCAM concrete structure will be moved to the Accucode site in Colorado Springs for further research by Accucode 3D and The 3D Printing Store, a specialist technology arm of parent company Accucode Inc. nine0003

Kevin Price, General Manager of Accucode, comments: “3D technology is breaking the mold in how we do everything, including commercial construction. Accucode 3D and 3D Printing Store are proud to be partners with RCAM."

RCAM Technologies was founded in 2017 by Jason Cotrell. Prior to launching RCAM, Cottrell spent over 22 years at NREL's National Wind Technology Center, finishing as a Senior Engineer and Innovation and Reliability Manager. Leveraging this experience, Cotrell is looking to apply 3D printing to RCAM to design onshore and offshore wind towers and structures. Focusing on the construction of structures up to 20 m high, such a process, according to the company, can halve the cost of traditional high tower technologies. nine0003

A low-cost method for 3D printing land-based wind turbine towers was developed and tested by RCAM in collaboration with the University of California, Irvine, with funding from California Energy Commission grant EPC-17-023. Concrete 3D printing for offshore wind turbines is the next step.

Earlier in 2019, the company received $250,000 through the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade (COEDIT) Advanced Industries Accelerator Program.
