We offer 3D printing using the Makerbot Replicator 2 3D Printer. The Replicator 2 is an FDM printer, meaning it builds up extruded plastic. It uses PLA filament which is less prone to warping and can produce dimensionally accurate parts. We stock a variety of colours and can special order a specific colour with advance notice.
The quality of finish is based on the detail of your 3D model and the layer height used for printing. Smaller layers are less visible in the finished print but increase print time and cost. We normally print at a layer height of either 0.20mm or 0.15mm. A finished print can be sanded and painted to improve the surface quality even further.
We estimate print jobs based on file quality, complexity, quality (layer height), time and amount of filament. A watertight model is needed for a successful print. Problem models can often be rebuilt or repaired at an additional cost.
