3D Printing Services for Carlstadt, NJ

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

BluEdge offers a variety of 3D services including 3D designing from scratch, to fixing a pre-existing model to fit your needs. Schedule a meeting with one of our experts, and we will do all we can to bring your vision to life.

That all depends on your specific project. Once you provide us with details about your project, we will be able to give you a more accurate time frame on how long it will take to complete your project. Some factors that can affect your print time are:

• Print material being used
• Size of model
• Level of detail of model
• Complexity of geometry

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.

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

Once uploaded, your file will be reviewed by our 3D production team. They will then contact you with any follow-up questions or an estimate for your approval.
