Workshop
A UV printer has arrived at the workshop: logo, photo, text or 3D relief straight onto wood, metal, glass, plastic, leather and onto your 3D-printed parts. What it changes, what it costs, what is still to come.
Guide
The complete guide: principle, surfaces, finishes (colour, white, varnish, 3D relief), artwork, durability, price.
Method
The part is no longer supplied, the machine is down. What we need, how we remodel it, in which material, and how conformity is checked before the run.
Technical
Carbon nylon or polycarbonate for a part that runs hot: the question to ask first, what each material really withstands, and when to step up a grade.
Technical
A printed enclosure can be watertight straight off the machine, rarely over time. What we guarantee, what we refuse, and how to design an FDM enclosure that really protects a board.
Materials
This is the commonest cause of a failed part we see: perfect on delivery, warped three weeks later.
Materials
Four materials cover ninety per cent of enquiries. Telling them apart takes no technical knowledge: five questions are enough, in order.
Repairs
A €500 washing machine scrapped over a €3 programme knob that cannot be found because the model is eight years old.
Technical
A supplier who says yes to everything will cost you time and money. Here are the limits we state before taking an order, and why none of them is.
Technical
We check every file before printing, and six problems come round in a loop. Knowing them will save you one round trip and two days of lead time.
