How it works

Simple steps from upload to delivery

1

Instant Quote & Project Review

Send us your 3D CAD files, material requirements, surface finish expectations, and project details for review. Our engineering team evaluates your requirements and provides a suitable 3D printing solution with fast quotation support.

2

Technical Design Review

After receiving your files, our engineers analyze part geometry, wall thickness, printing orientation, support requirements, and potential manufacturing risks to optimize the printing process.

3

Material & Process Selection

Based on prototype objectives, we recommend suitable materials and printing technologies, including SLA for high-detail appearance models and SLS for durable functional plastic prototypes..

4

3D Printing Manufacturing

Once the process is confirmed, your parts are scheduled for production using suitable printing equipment and optimized parameters to achieve stable quality and dimensional consistency.

5

Quality Inspection

After printing, each prototype part is inspected for dimensional accuracy, appearance quality, surface condition, and potential defects to ensure reliable results before final delivery.

6

Post-Processing & Surface Finishing

Depending on project requirements, printed parts can receive additional finishing processes such as support removal, sanding, polishing, painting, coating, silk screening, or other cosmetic treatments.

7

Assembly & Prototype Verification

For complete prototype projects, we can assemble 3D printed components with other manufactured parts or customer-supplied hardware to verify fit, function, and overall product performance.

8

Final Inspection & Delivery

Finished prototypes undergo final inspection, packaging, and preparation for shipment. We ensure each prototype meets project expectations before delivery for engineering review, testing, or presentation.

Surface Finishing

We offer 6 surface finish options for your CNC prototypes and full production parts. Our extensive options allow you to match finishes to your parts’ specific requirements and applications.

Natural Finish

Plastic prototype parts with natural material finish.

Natural finish removes burrs and machining marks while preserving the original color and texture of the raw material, providing a clean and functional surface for engineering prototypes.

Painting

Painted plastic prototype with smooth cosmetic finish.

Painting provides smooth cosmetic finishes with customized colors, textures, and surface effects for appearance prototypes and production-like parts.

Electroplating

Electroplated plastic prototype with decorative metallic finish.

Electroplating applies a metallic coating to plastic parts, improving appearance, wear resistance, and production-like surface quality.

Silk Screening

Silk screen printing on plastic prototype parts.

Silk screening is used to apply logos, graphics, and functional markings onto prototype surfaces with high clarity and durability.

UV Coating

UV coating enhances surface gloss, scratch resistance, and cosmetic durability while improving the overall appearance of prototype parts.

Water Transfer Printing

Plastic prototype parts with carbon fiber texture finish.

Water transfer printing enables complex patterns and decorative textures to be applied to curved and irregular prototype surfaces.
