3D Printing

Resources on additive manufacturing technologies — FDM, SLA, SLS, MJF, and DMLS — covering materials, design guidelines, and post-processing.

3D printing, or additive manufacturing, builds parts layer by layer from digital models. Unlike subtractive methods, it adds material only where needed, enabling complex geometries that would be impossible or prohibitively expensive to machine conventionally. Major technologies include FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) for quick prototypes, SLA (Stereolithography) for high-detail parts, SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) for functional nylon parts, MJF (Multi Jet Fusion) for production-grade polymer parts, and DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) for metal additive manufacturing. OrderCAD offers all major 3D printing technologies with a wide range of materials — from PLA and ABS to PA12, TPU, and metals like stainless steel and titanium. We provide rapid prototyping with next-day turnaround as well as short-run production services.
