Frequently Asked Questions

Which type of files do you accept?

Our 3D printers accept .STL file formats scaled in millimeters. We work with a variety of programs that can import and export many different file types. Some common file types and programs we work with include:

Rhinoceros 3D (.3dm)
AutoCAD (.dwg)
3DS Studio Max (.3ds)
Maya (.mb)
Z-Brush (.zbr)
Blender (.blend)
.obj files

Which type of 3D print is best for my project?

That all depends on the goal of your project. Though each project is unique, here are some general rules of thumb:

If getting a full color model is your priority, powder prints are the way to go
If your priority is to get a cost-effective model, you will most likely be better off with a plastic 3D print
If the durability of your model is most important to you, you might be more interested in resin

3D prints. Send us a brief message either below or to 3dprint@bluedge.com, and one of our experts will guide you in the right direction.

I have an idea, but I am not a 3D designer. Can you help?

How long will it take to print my project?

What materials can be used to print a 3D model or prototype?

The short answer is: pretty much anything. Additive manufacturing technology is evolving so rapidly that each day brings new advances. Plastic, metal, food, dirt, and even human cells are just some of the materials that have been used in 3D printing. We have FDM plastic and powder 3D print capabilities in-house. We also have great relationships with specialty fabricators if you’d like your materials printed in resin, metal, or something even more unique.

How should I prepare my file for print?

Some best practices to prepare your file for print include: Use millimeters instead of inches The object being 3D printed should be a closed ‘water-tight’ object If using Rhinoceros, make sure the object is a ‘closed solid polysurface’. This means it should not have any open or non-manifold edges. If using Blender, 3DS, or Maya, all edges are closed. Check for reverse normals If your file requires additional adjustments, we offer design services including designing a model from scratch or file fixing services to adjust a pre-existing model.FAQ
