To prevent problems arising in the process of printing your model and to speed along the submission process, we have compiled a handy checklist of things you should consider before sending your files to us:
Is my model the
correct size?
The maximum size for
SLS parts is 24x19x30cm and for Objet is 50x40x20cm.
Is my file the correct
format?
Our preferred file
type is STL- this allows you to control the meshing process to ensure you are
happy with the results. While we are able to convert most commonly used file
types, it is best for you as the modeller to control the mesh creation.
Have I given my parts
a sufficient thickness and tolerance?
All parts must have a
thickness to print and must be at least 1mm to ensure mechanical strength and
printability. Spaces between parts should be 1mm.
Have I left enough
time?
(As a standard we
operate a 3 day turnaround but if our build queue is particularly busy or your
part very large this could increase. Make sure you leave plenty of time to
avoid disappointment)
