FFF
FFF is a method of layering the molten thermoplastic material on a heatbed. This technology makes it possible to create utility models, prototypes, marketing mock-ups or composite elements. This is the most optimal method for quick prototyping of parts that must maintain the required standard tolerance. This technology makes it possible to create everything from concept models, functional prototypes, end-use parts and more. This is the most optimal and cost-effective method for quick prototyping of parts.

SLS-COMING SOON
Laser sintering of polyamide powders guarantees the highest durability and repeatability of serially produced elements. Enables the production of hundreds/thousands of pieces in a single run. Moreover, SLS technology does not require the use of supports – the models created are supported by powder excess surrounding the printout. This allows for printing more complex geometries than other 3D printing methods.

Draft Prototypes
Incremental manufacturing methods accelerate the production of presentation machines. Mock-up of the building envisaged for revitalization, or the presentation of the machine at the industrial stand of the industrial company – thanks to the incremental technologies, the production process is significantly reduced while allowing the presentation and maintenance of accurate details. The possibility of making precise elements with advanced geometry is one of the advantages of 3D printing.
Functional Prototypes
3D printing technology is great for creating prototypes not only test, but also fully functional. Verification and verification of project assumptions is the main goal of creating prototypes. 3D printing gives the possibility of full control of the prototype creation process with the possibility of avoiding costly corrections and without the need for a large investment. Industrial companies using 3D printing technology to check the functionality and durability of their projects not only save time but also reduce costs.
End Use Components
Incremental manufacturing methods allow the creation of projects that can be verified and used on production lines. Thanks to 3D technology, which allows you to reduce time and costs already at the stage of prototype creation, final projects enable the acceleration of programming processes of industrial robots, which significantly reduces the time to implement new production lines in industrial companies.
Low volume production
3D printing is a solution that allows small series production of elements used by small enterprises. By using 3D printers already at the prototyping stage, you can optimize the design with respect to the user’s convenience, thereby increasing the comfort of using the final product. Thanks to the use of 3D printing for small-lot production, the company not only reduces costs, but also has the ability to create products tailored to customer needs.

RECOMMENDATIONS
“So far we have shown our machines at our stands, which weigh up to several dozen tons! This involved very expensive transport. The mock-ups of the machines printed by 3DGence Services not only raised the interest among our exhibition booth guests, but helped to improve the transport and reduce the costs as well!”
“3D printed prototype of the new mode of the steering bracket was presented to the judges during the international competition, FSAE in Michigan. Due to the complex geometry of the bracket, it was impossible to use the tradisional CNC machines to create the prototype. Thanks to 3D printing technology and the 3DGence INDUSTRY F340, we were able to cut the prototyping cycle, and create and test our design within 2 days.”
“3D Printed prototype helped us verified the assumptions that we made for our project as well as confirm that the project was created within the tolerance and eliminate any mistakes. Using 3DGence 3D Printing Services along with the INDUSTRY F340 3D printer helped us to cut the implementation cycle and reduce the cost for the project.”
“During the prototyping cycle is hard to achieve the perfect product especially from the ergonomic standpoint. Thanks to the print services we were able to bring our 3D models to life. 3D printing helped all of our departments add any changes to the product during the prototyping stage.”
