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

GE and IEDC Jointly Invest in Research and Development for the 3D Printing of the Future
GE Additive and The Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC) announced the formation of the Binder Jet Public-Private Partnership as part of a broader effort to advance Indiana's manufacturing sector for long-term growth.
A collective approach to innovation
"We are delighted with the opportunity presented to us by the IEEE" , says GE Additive 9 CTO0005 Kristin Furstoss . “Binder Jet is one of the fastest growing areas in additive manufacturing today, especially in the automotive and mobile industries. I'm watching closely."
“Given Indiana's strong focus on automotive manufacturing, we have high hopes that this partnership will enable numerous innovations and promising new applications, especially in the areas of automation and software development.” , she added.
Indiana is a leader in manufacturing with 8,500 manufacturing plants and the highest concentration of manufacturing jobs in the nation. With over 500 auto suppliers and five original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), Indiana maintains the second largest GDP in the U.S. automotive sector, producing more than 1.3 million cars and light trucks annually.
Building a broad, flexible work ecosystem
GE Additive's Binder Jet Beta Partner Program continues to gain momentum. Six global players in the technology and automotive sectors are already partnering with GE Additive teams in Cincinnati to commercialize their Binder Jet technology.
“Collaboration with industry is at the heart of our strategy,” said Josh Mook , head of additive innovation at GE. “We deliberately chose to identify a group of strategic partners who could help us develop a real solution. It is critical that when we bring our solution to market next year, it can deliver value from day one. Our beta affiliate program is already paying dividends in many ways. We are now looking to expand this industry collaboration. Through an R&D partnership with the state, we will create a testbed to work with partners, customers, start-ups, and SMBs in Indiana and beyond to develop additive-centric innovation and real-life solutions.” .
The Board of Directors of the IEEEC recently approved $3 million from its Economic Stabilization and Expansion Initiative to establish a new Emerging Manufacturing Collaboration Center (EMC2). This facility will become a physical space where state-of-the-art equipment will be available to new and existing manufacturers in Indiana to train employees, perform contract manufacturing, and raise awareness of new products and software.
The new facility, Emerging Manufacturing Collaboration Center (EMC2), will be located in the 16 Tech Innovation District and is expected to open by summer 2021. 16 Tech is a 50-acre community focused on bringing entrepreneurs and scientists, startups, corporations, and creatives together in one place to stimulate the exchange of ideas that leads to innovation.
EMC2 will allow new and existing manufacturers to use modern equipment, including Binder Jet technology from GE Additive, to train employees, conduct third-party pilot productions, and increase awareness of products and software applications. In addition, GE Additive will expand its Binder Jet enterprise beta testing program by collaborating with Indiana businesses and industries and academic partners to support Binder Jet R&D in additive manufacturing, manufacturing automation, advanced software development, and readiness. production.
“We are thrilled with the opportunity the state of Indiana has given us” , said GE Additive CTO Christine Furstoss . “Binder jet is one of the most dynamic areas of additive manufacturing today, and one that the automotive and mobile industries in particular are closely following. Given Indiana's strong focus on automotive manufacturing, we have high hopes that this partnership will enable numerous innovations and create promising new applications, especially in the areas of automation and software development.” .
Working closely with the IEDC to invest in Binder Jet and software technologies and drive innovation in key industry supply chains, GE Additive will use the new EMC2 as the physical focal point for this initiative.
“With our Binder Jet solution, we have created a high-performance scalable system,” said Mook . “We will use this partnership with the IEC to build a broad, flexible manufacturing ecosystem that spans every powder, including the processing chain. Our system is capable of supporting a wide range of companies that will participate in the ecosystem, and we have designed it to be easy to connect.” .
Economic Benefit
"Every day, Indiana manufacturers develop safe, reliable, and innovative products that help keep the world going," said Indiana Secretary of Commerce Jim Schellinger . “As new trends and technologies reshape the state of today's manufacturing industry, Indiana is focused on partnering with cutting-edge organizations like GE Additive and advancing strategic initiatives to drive long-term growth and equip Hoosiers with the industry skills and training needed for the future. " .
GE Additive and IEDC are hosting a virtual industry day on December 8 to kick off the initiative and detail potential projects that will deliver broad technological and economic benefits to Indiana and broader US manufacturing competitiveness.
Attendees will also hear from Binder Jet experts, see the latest demonstrations of GE Additive's Binder Jet technology, and participate in technical workshops with the GE Additive expert team and outside industry professionals.
Detailed information will be provided shortly, including requests for proposals and funding opportunities. Eligible delegates will include companies of all sizes, software developers, manufacturing equipment developers, and end users.
