End-Use & Production Parts Application
Transform ideas into durable, functional end-use or finished-good parts that’s ready for real-world use and low-volume production, with the freedom to design without limits.
Application Overview
About End-Use & Production Parts Application
These parts are not limited to prototyping. They are used on-demand in real-world environments, eliminating supply chain bottlenecks, reducing warehouse storage, and enabling localized manufacturing.
Why 3D Printing Is Beneficial
3D printing shortens production cycles, removes costly tooling, and enables low- to mid-volume manufacturing. Its flexibility for small batches or custom geometries makes it ideal for lightweight parts, unique dimensions, and rapid replacements to reduce downtime.

Technology Types
We provide a full suite of polymer printing technologies, ensuring the right fit for your innovation needs and production goals.
FDM
Fused Deposition Modeling uses thermoplastic filament, extruded layer by layer inside a self-calibrated heated chamber. It is ideal for producing strong, durable, heat-resistant and dimensionally stable parts using standard or high-performance grade materials.
PolyJet
One of the most powerful abilities is to simultaneously print multi-material resin in a single build. It jets layers of UV-curable engineered resins to create detailed and smooth parts for realistic prototypes, concept modeling, and functional tooling.
P3 DLP
Programmable PhotoPolymerization is a next-generation Digital Light Processing technology that uses light-curable resin for high-resolution printing. It supports intricate features, excellent surface quality, and a wide range of high-performance materials for production-ready applications.
SLA
Laser Stereolithography is a unique technology that polymerizes each layer of a ceramic-loaded photosensitive resin to form the green part. Afterward, the part undergoes debinding and sintering to remove resin, densify the ceramic, and achieve its final material properties.
