PartSnap takes advantage of several different 3D printing processes
Professional-grade Stratasys FDM process is best suited for:
- high-performance end-use parts
- manufacturing fixtures
- Digital Direct Manufacturing (DDM)
- real thermoplastics like ABS, PC-ISO and ULTEM
- thick-walled or bulky designs
- color prototypes
Below are some more details on our FDM 3D printing process:
- maximum build envelope (bounding box) of the printer is: 16″ x 14″ x 16″ (406mm x 356mm x 406mm)
- features on printed parts should be at least 0.045 inch in size (walls, ribs, bosses, holes, etc)
- material specifications of ABS, PC-ISO and ULTEM
- watch the video on how our Stratasys Dimension FDM 3D Printer works
Professional-grade Stratasys PolyJet process is best suited for:
- form, fit and function testing
- validating conceptual designs prior to injection molding
- creating detailed prototypes and models
Below are some more details on our PolyJet 3D printing process:
- build envelope (bounding box) of the printer is: 11.57″ x 7.72″ x 5.9″ (294mm x 196mm x 150mm)
- features on printed parts should be at least 0.035 inch in size (walls, ribs, bosses, holes, etc)
- See Visual Guide to 3D printing Part and Feature Size
- material specifications of Objet’s Rigid PolyJet materials
- watch the video on How Our Objet PolyJet 3D Printer Works
Consumer-grade Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), an open-source variation of FDM, is best suited for:
- low-cost early-stage prototyping
- vibrant color prototyping
- visual models and marketing sampples
Below are some more details on our FFF 3D printing process:
- build envelope (bounding box) of the printers are: 8” x 10” x 8” (200mm x 250mm x 200mm)
- features on printed parts should be at least 0.040 inch in size (walls, ribs, bosses, holes, etc)
- the FFF process is not considered a professional-grade process, so no tolerances are quoted or guaranteed
