Frequently Asked Questions

Dry electropolishing improves both the appearance and performance of metal parts. It creates a bright, smooth finish, enhances corrosion resistance, and removes surface imperfections. It also increases hygiene by making stainless steel easier to clean and less prone to bacterial buildup. Learn more about our DryLyte Electropolishing System.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is a proprietary technology owned by Stratasys, while Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is a general industry term. FDM systems are typically used in professional and industrial settings due to their ability to work with advanced materials, deliver high precision, and ensure part strength. Features such as enclosed, heated build chambers also increase stability and repeatability in FDM printing.

Electropolishing is widely considered the superior method. Unlike mechanical polishing, which can leave micro-scratches, electropolishing uniformly removes a thin surface layer to create a mirror-like finish. It offers precise control, reaches complex geometries, and is ideal for many industrial applications. Learn more about our Metal Surface Finishing Services.

3D printing offers quick, economical low and mid-volume production. It supports distributed manufacturing, producing essential tooling like jigs and fixtures quickly and affordably, enhancing flexibility and efficiency compared to traditional manufacturing approaches.

The cost depends on the technology and scale of use. While upfront investment can vary, 3D printing is often more cost-effective than traditional manufacturing for low-volume production. As applications expand, it becomes increasingly scalable and valuable as a long-term solution.

Yes. Through our AM Consultancy, our specialists provide design services tailored to complex and critical requirements. Contact us to discuss how we can support your project.

Most orders are completed and ready for shipping or collection within 7 working days. Timelines may vary depending on printer availability, part complexity, and required post-processing.

All parts are produced locally in our Singapore facility. This allows us to maintain strict quality control, ensure faster turnaround times, and safeguard your project data. Unlike basic "send-and-print" services, we go further by optimizing your designs to enhance both performance and functionality.

When required, we establish a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) with your company to safeguard all sensitive information. This ensures your project details are fully protected and handled with the utmost discretion throughout every stage of the process.

We require digital 3D files in formats such as STL, OBJ, VRML, or STP. If you have a different file type, let us know and our AM team is happy to review and advise on next steps.

Yes. Parts can be collected directly from our production office in Singapore. Simply confirm your preferred pickup date and time with our AM team.

Service printing is a great entry point into 3D printing. It provides direct access to AM specialist who can guide you through material and technology options, while also eliminating the need for costly equipment purchases. You only pay for production and consumables for your project. It's also especially useful for businesses that already own a printer but need capabilities beyond their current setup.

It depends on your needs. If you only print occasionally or require multiple technologies, service printing is often the better option. However, if 3D printing becomes integral to your business model or you want to bring production in-house for efficiency and scalability, investing in your own 3D printer typically delivers greater long-term value.

Enables designers to streamline workflows, maintain full design control, and iterate rapidly. It reduces costs while producing detailed prototypes that closely resemble final products in both form and function—encouraging creativity and innovation.
