Materials
Common FDM thermoplastic families for prototypes, fixtures and general components.
SLA resin options for detailed prototypes, appearance models and transparent parts.
Tough, durable and application-specific resin families subject to grade review.
SLS and MJF polymer-powder options for functional prototypes and production parts.
Flexible polymer options for compliant parts, grips, seals and protective features.
DMLS metal option for functional parts, subject to design and post-processing review.
Lightweight DMLS alloy option for thermal and structural applications.
High strength-to-weight DMLS alloy option requiring application confirmation.
Exact material grades, colors, certificates and post-processing routes are confirmed for each project.
Surface finishes
Finish compatibility varies by process and material; appearance and acceptance criteria require project approval.
Review unsupported geometry and orientation to manage support marks and build risk.
Plan support access and removal for SLA, FDM and metal additive parts.
Confirm wall requirements by process, material, feature height and loading condition.
Match small holes, text and edge details to the selected process capability.
Applications
Project suitability, regulatory requirements and validation scope are confirmed during review.
Featured work
Concept structure for an MJF nylon enclosure; grade, finish and timing require confirmation.
Concept structure for an SLA resin model; application and material evidence require review.
Concept structure for a metal additive bracket; alloy, inspection and validation are project-specific.
Concept examples illustrate page structure and are not presented as customer case studies.
FAQ
Process selection depends on geometry, surface quality, material behavior, mechanical requirements, quantity and budget. Zenbot can review the model and recommend a suitable route.
Expedited scheduling may be reviewed, but availability and delivery timing depend on process, material, build preparation, post-processing and current capacity.
Some MJF, SLS and metal additive parts may suit end-use applications when material, design, inspection and regulatory requirements are properly validated.
