FDM & SLA ON OUR OWN FLOOR

If polymer is the wrong answer, we'll say so.

FDM and SLA resin on our own floor. SLS nylon through a vetted partner, same engineer sign-off. Send us an STL, OBJ or STEP file — or bring us the broken part and we'll model it.

FDM 3D Printing
Our Workhorse

FDM 3D Printing

Fused Deposition Modeling for functional parts, prototypes and end-use products, printed on our own floor.

  • PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU
  • Functional parts and enclosures
  • Printed in Paarden Eiland
SLA Resin Printing
High Detail

SLA Resin Printing

Stereolithography for parts where fine detail and a smooth surface matter more than brute strength.

  • Standard, tough and flexible resins
  • Smooth surface finish
  • Resin printed in-house
Reverse Engineering
No CAD Needed

Reverse Engineering

A broken or discontinued part with no CAD file in sight — we model it from photos and measurements, then print it.

  • Garage-door cogs and gears
  • Shower-door tracks and guides
  • Wheelie-bin hinges — real jobs from our floor
Post-Processing
Done By Hand

Post-Processing

Finishing work done by hand on our floor: sanding, painting and assembly.

  • Sanding & smoothing
  • Painting & coating
  • Assembly services
