MJF Powder

What is MJF Powder Printing?

Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) is a cutting-edge 3D printing technology that uses powdered thermoplastics to create highly detailed, functional parts. This process is renowned for its speed, accuracy, and ability to produce complex geometries that traditional manufacturing can’t match.

Material Excellence
The most common material used in MJF is PA12 (Nylon 12), a polyamide-based powder. Other options include PA11, polypropylene, and TPU, each chosen for their unique properties such as flexibility, chemical resistance, and heat tolerance.

Strength & Durability
MJF-printed parts are known for their exceptional mechanical strength. Thanks to the nearly isotropic nature of the process, parts are strong in all directions, making them ideal for functional prototypes, end-use components, and small-batch production. PA12, in particular, is celebrated for its high tensile strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals and abrasion.

Performance in Demanding Environments
MJF parts are suitable for demanding industrial applications. They offer:

High impact resistance
Good surface finish
Low moisture absorption
Excellent chemical resistance (especially with polypropylene and PA12)
Consistent performance in both prototyping and production settings.

Why Choose MJF?

Fast turnaround for complex, accurate parts
Versatile material options for a range of applications
Durable, reliable components ready for real-world use

MJF powder printing delivers robust, high-quality parts with the strength and durability required for industrial use. Whether you need functional prototypes or production-ready components, MJF is the smart choice for modern manufacturing.

RESIN

What is Resin 3D Printing?

Resin 3D printing, also known as SLA (Stereolithography) or DLP (Digital Light Processing), uses liquid photopolymer resins that are cured layer by layer with light to create highly detailed and smooth parts. This technology is renowned for its ability to produce intricate designs and fine surface finishes, making it ideal for prototypes, dental models, jewelry, and engineering components.

Material Properties
The core material in resin 3D printing is a liquid photopolymer resin. There are many types of resins available, including standard, tough, flexible, engineering-grade, and specialty resins for dental or medical use. Each resin type is formulated to deliver specific mechanical properties, such as increased toughness, flexibility, or heat resistance.

Strength & Durability
Modern engineering resins have advanced significantly, offering strength and durability that can rival or even surpass traditional plastics like ABS and PETG. For example, tough resins can achieve tensile strengths around 55.7 MPa and modulus of elasticity comparable to ABS, resulting in sturdy, shatter-resistant parts suitable for functional prototypes and end-use applications. Some high-strength resins offer flexural strengths up to 135 MPa, making them suitable for demanding industrial applications.

Performance Highlights

High Detail & Surface Quality: Resin printing excels at producing parts with fine details and smooth finishes.
Mechanical Versatility: With the right resin, you can achieve a balance between strength, flexibility, and impact resistance.
Application-Specific Formulations: From tough, engineering-grade resins to flexible or medical-grade options, there’s a resin for nearly every need.
Comparable Strength: Properly selected and cured resins can match or exceed the strength of common 3D printing filaments like PLA, ABS, and PETG.

Why Choose Resin 3D Printing?

Uncanny precision and detail
Wide range of material properties for diverse applications
Strong, durable parts suitable for both prototypes and end-use products

Resin 3D printing delivers exceptional detail, strength, and versatility. With a broad selection of materials, it’s the go-to solution for industries demanding high-quality, functional, and visually impressive parts.

FDM

What is FDM 3D Printing?

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is a leading 3D printing technology that constructs objects layer by layer using thermoplastic filaments. It’s widely adopted for its cost-effectiveness, material versatility, and ease of use, making it a popular choice for both prototyping and production.

Materials Used
FDM 3D printing supports a broad range of thermoplastic materials, including:

PLA (Polylactic Acid): Easy to use, ideal for prototypes and decorative items.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): Durable, impact-resistant, and can withstand higher temperatures.
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol): Offers a balance of strength, flexibility, and ease of printing.
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane): Flexible, rubber-like material for specialized applications.
Engineering-Grade Thermoplastics: Such as carbon fiber composites and high-performance polymers for demanding industrial uses.

Strength & Durability
FDM parts can be very strong and durable, depending on the material and print settings. ABS is known for its toughness and heat resistance, while PETG combines strength with flexibility. For the highest strength, materials like Ultem 1010 (a PEI thermoplastic) are used, offering exceptional thermal stability and durability for industrial applications. However, print quality and strength can be affected by factors such as temperature, cooling, and storage conditions.

Performance Highlights

Material Versatility: Choose from a wide range of materials to match your application’s needs, from basic prototypes to high-strength, functional parts.
Cost-Effective: FDM is one of the most affordable 3D printing methods, ideal for rapid prototyping and low-volume production.
Durability: With the right material, FDM prints can withstand mechanical stress, heat, and impact, making them suitable for real-world use.

Why Choose FDM 3D Printing?
