3D printing
From prototype to finished product: advanced 3D printing technologies for every application
FDM – Fused Deposition Modeling
The most affordable technology. FDM lays down molten plastic filament layer by layer. Ideal for concept models, jigs, fixtures and larger parts where price matters more than a smooth surface.
FDM – technical specifications
Materials offered by Makernaut
- PLA
- PLA+
- PETG
- ABS
- Nylon
- TPU
- PC
- PEEK
- Carbon-fibre reinforced
Ideal for
- Concept models
- Jigs and fixtures
- Larger parts at a low price
- Early prototypes
SLA – stereolithography
Premium surface quality. SLA (stereolithography) offers the highest resolution and smoothest surfaces of all 3D printing technologies. Perfect for prototypes, masters for vacuum casting, and end-use parts where aesthetics matter.
SLA – technical specifications
Materials offered by Makernaut
- White Resin (white)
- Clear Resin (transparent)
- Full Colour Resin (colour)
Ideal for
- Concept models and prototypes
- Masters for vacuum casting
- Architecture models
- Fine details and thin walls
- Transparent parts
SLS – Selective Laser Sintering
Functional parts. SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) sinters powder particles layer by layer into strong, functional parts. Ideal for complex geometries and end-use components, without support material. SLS is produced through selected, certified partners.
