Our clients commonly ask these questions about our industrial 3d printing services.
For additional information, please contact our engineering team directly.
We accept all standard 3D CAD formats including STL, STEP, IGES, X_T, and SLDPRT files. Our 3D printing service in Hanover, PA can usually convert most 3D data formats — contact us if yours isn't listed. For optimal results, native CAD format is preferred, allowing our team to adjust for printability without compromising design intent.
Carbon fiber 3D printing service offers significant advantages for certain applications. No tooling costs make low-volume production economical. Complex geometries become feasible. Lead times shrink from weeks to days. Our engineering-grade 3D printing produces parts with strength-to-weight ratios comparable to aluminum at 40% less weight. Many clients use our 3D printing contract manufacturing for both rapid prototyping and production parts that would be cost-prohibitive with traditional methods. (rest of answer unchanged)
Our Markforged X7 carbon fiber 3D printing system has a build volume of 330mm x 270mm x 200mm (approximately 13 by 10.6 by 7.9 inches). For parts exceeding these dimensions, we can split models into components for assembly after printing, or suggest alternative manufacturing methods. Our engineering team can help evaluate your design and recommend the best approach for oversized components while maintaining structural integrity.
Parts produced via continuous carbon fiber 3D printing achieve tensile strengths up to 800 MPa, rivaling the performance of 6061-T6 aluminum (310 MPa) and weighing 40% less. The anisotropic nature of fiber reinforcement allows us to strategically place material for optimal performance. Many clients report our carbon fiber parts outlasting aluminum in applications with vibration or impact. For specific loading conditions, our team can conduct stress analysis to predict performance before manufacturing.
Unlike many additive manufacturing services, our composite parts require minimal post-processing. Parts emerge from our 3d printing services with excellent surface finish. When needed, we offer light sanding, thread tapping, drilling, painting, and assembly services. For cosmetic applications, we can apply various surface treatments to achieve specific appearance requirements. Our team works with you to understand functional requirements and recommend appropriate finishing options while maintaining rapid delivery timeframes.
