HOW IS THE PRICE OF A 3D MODEL CALCULATED?Several factors determine the price of a 3D model. The amount of material, the machine runtime, the working time of the employees, the chosen material and the general utilisation of the printing equipment.
-
I DO NOT HAVE MY OWN 3D FILES, CAN YOU HELP ME?Of course! We help you to realize your ideas. We construct accurate 3D models from your 2D artwork or digitize physical objects with a 3D scanner. The resulting data can then be easily printed using one of our many processes.

HOW WILL CHANGE MY LIFE WORK WITH 3D PRINTING?This technology offers you the ability to make remarkable times at the price and quality you expect from high end stores. 3D printing is already changing the way we live, the way we think, and the way we manufacture. It’s a great new opportunity for massive personalization for all your belongings and surroundings. It will save you money and time and will unleash your creativity.

UP TO WHAT SIZE IS IT POSSIBLE TO PRINT?With our Massivit printer we can print pieces of 145cm x 111cm x 180cm or 57" x 44" x 70" in one step. If the size of your project is larger than this don't worry, we work with larger products and sculptures which we can produce in different parts. Contact us with any questions you may have.

WHICH 3D PRINTING MATERIALS CAN I CHOOSE FROM?We work with these filaments: PLA One of the most-used printing materials, PLA (Poly-Lactic Acid) is highly versatile. It’s made from renewable sources like sugar cane, which helps keep the price low. It’s a very forgiving material with a low chance of warping and good reusability. As a bonus, it produces a sweet, popcorn-like smell when melted. Because of this material’s low melting point (around 150°F), it’s unsuitable for high heat work. Additionally, while it’s very versatile, the final products tend to be quite brittle, so if you’re building something that’s going to take a few hits, you might want to consider using something else instead. ABS ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is the second main plastic used in 3D printing. It’s more heat-resistant than PLA, but can be melted down and reused if needed. Its melting point is at about 221°F, so you don’t have to worry about your creations melting in most cases. This is a more durable plastic too, making it a strong choice for prototyping. You can sand, paint, and polish it without worrying about cracking or warping. It barely shrinks too, so you don’t have to compensate too heavily for that. For the reasons above, ABS is heavily used in manufacturing: it’s what LEGO bricks are made of! POLYCARBONATE Polycarbonate filament (sometimes called PC) is a transparent, tough material that’s suitable for high-temperature applications thanks to its very high transition temperature (around 302°F). PC is naturally flexible, so it can be used in a range of circumstances, including those where the print will be subject to stress. However, PC filament absorbs moisture from its surroundings. This can cause warping or even layer separation in some cases, so you’ll want to store it in an air-tight container wherever possible. Because of the high temperatures involved, you’ll also need some form of heat protection when printing models with it.

WHAT CAN I PRINT OR CREATE?The options for printables are limitless. Create tools, toys, games, gifts, figures, and models or use it simply as a new way to reproduce memories! It’s all designed and custom from you, personalized for you, and created by you! There are nearly and an infinite number of downloadable free designs ready to print instantly or with the aid of 3D modeling software, you can create almost anything you can imagine. Use it for art, engineering, architecture, recreation, fun or fashion.

WHAT IS 3D PRINTING?3D printing is an amazing new technology enabling you to take a 3D digital file and create a physical object with a click of a button. Utilizing additive manufacturing technology, creating in layers, 3D modeled designs are transformed into solid objects on demand.
-
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET A QUOTATION FOR THE PART?Quotation time will depend on the 3D model given for quotation. If the model is already in a condition to be estimated it is usually one day. When the model has to be made from scratch the period is discussed with the customer as well as if the model has to be modified for 3d printing.

WHAT CAN DESIGNERS DO WITH 3D PRINTING?3D printing gives designers the capability to drastically shorten the design process compared to traditional methods of hand-modelling or outsourcing to model shops. Keep the design process entirely in-house. With 3D printing, designers gain full control over the design process. Creating models in-house saves the time associated with outsourcing. More timeline flexibility empowers designers to try new ideas and iterate often, resulting in better products that stand out. Prototype faster and smarter. Outsourcing is often too expensive and time-consuming to allow iteration of more detailed prototypes, especially models that incorporate CMF (color-material-finish). The speed and streamlined workflow of 3D printing gives designers the freedom to create dozens of detailed prototypes while reducing the time to arrive at the optimal design. Create beautiful, highly detailed models. With full-colour, multi material printing, designers can create prototypes that look, feel, and even function like the real thing in just a few hours. The ability to assess the colour, texture, and ergonomics of a product means better feedback and faster approval from clients.

HOW CAN I BE SURE THAT MY 3D MODEL CAN BE PRINTED?Before 3D printing, all models are checked. If any problems occur, you will be contacted. If revisions or repairs of the 3D constructions are necessary, then we gladly offer you our assistance.
-
WHAT 3D PRINTERS DO YOU WORK WITH?We have different 3D printers: Massivit 1800 Pro Delta Wasp 4070 Prusa i3 MK3 Artillery
-
ARE THE DATA OF THE 3D MODELS TREATED CONFIDENTIALLY?You can be sure that no one will see your drafts of the 3D models produced, if that is what you want. We will gladly assure you of this contractually.
