    FDM

    Fused Deposition Modeling(FDM) is an additive manufacturing process that belongs to the material extrusion family.

    In FDM, an object built by selectively depositing melted material in a pre-determined path layer-by-layer.

    SLA

    Stereolithography (SLA) uses a laser to cure various liquid resins into a solid structure.

    SLA produces parts with high precision, smooth, and detailed surface finish.

    wenext

    SLS

    Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) uses a high-power laser to sinter powdered material and build a solid and stable structure.

    Parts printed by SLS can work well as functional parts.

    wenext

    MJF

    Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) uses unique technology and exclusive PA12 material to create strong parts with high dimensional accuracy.

    MJF provides high-quality surface finish parts and consistent mechanical properties.

    wenext

    SLM

    Scanning the metal powder bed with laser light, the powder will be melted and solidified into metal parts.

    Parts with complex structures or parts that need to be lightweight designed can be easily manufactured with SLM.

    What is 3D Printing?

    Have you noticed that some natural landforms are the deposition of sand, wind, or water, like sand dunes. Imagine the wind is blowing, and water is flowing; sand becomes a sand dune layer by layer. Is this a process of shaping a three-dimensional object? If so, what if we can print a three-dimensional object layer by layer directly, just by a printer? In the 1980s, printing a 3D model by a printer came true as printing equipment and materials developed.

    3D Printing is one of the Rapid Prototyping technologies. It can print three-dimensional objects based on CAD models or digital 3D models under the control of a 3D printer. It is the process of printing an object by adding materials layer by layer, which is called Additive Manufacturing. Assume that 3D Printing is similar to printing files from a printer but using different technologies. For printing a piece of paper, you need a Word, PDF, or Excel document, which are all 2D. While printing an object, you will need 3D model designs in STL file format and 3D printable materials. When 3D models, STL files (need to convert into G-code through a slicer software), and 3D Printing materials are ready, 3D printer is being able to print the design layer by layer.

    Distinguished from traditional manufacturing process, 3D Printing is a process of adding materials to create a product instead of machining on a block of material. The additive nature makes 3D Printing a unique manufacturing method, which is typically fast with relative low setup costs. 3D Printing can create more complex geometries than traditional manufacturing techniques, which has been utilizing in the engineering industry widely, particularly for prototyping and creating complex/ lightweight geometries.

    3D Printing is connecting with engineers, designers, hobbyists, and, amateurs, gaining popularity in the make culture. Available low-cost printing material, accessible printing techniques like FDM, and affordable desktop 3D printers (such as MakerBot, Ultimaker, and Formlabs), are largely facilitate 3D Printing technology to grow fast.

    Besides, there are different 3D Printing services such asStereolithography (SLA),Selective Laser Sintering (SLS),Multi-Jet-Fusion (MJF), and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) to enable you to prototype resin/ nylon/ metal parts.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. When will my order ship?

    You can choose the lead time you prefer when placing your order. Our shortest lead time is 48 hours.

    2. Is my 3D model printable? Which 3D printing method is best for it?

    Our account manager will help you to check model and provide feedback.

    3. Which material should I choose?

    Please check our Material page for more information about materials. You may also contact our sales professionals at hello@wenext.com for more information.

    4. What are your standard tolerances and manufacturing standards?

    The standard tolerances of SLA and SLM is ± 200μm or 0.2%mm, while SLS and MJF is ± 300μm or 0.3%mm. Our manufacturing standards are ISO-9001,ISO-45001.

    5. I don’t have a 3D CAD model. Can you create one for me?

    We don't have professional designer team at this moment. Please contact your account manager or our customer service at hello@wenext.com if you need design suggestions or manufacturing advices.
