  1. 5 Things to Consider While Choosing a 3D Printing Prototype Service Looking for 3D printing prototype service providers? Working with the wrong company will only cause you to waste time, money, and materials. Here are the most important things to consider when choosing a 3D printing prototype service: 1.Technology 3D Stereolithography (SLA) is the preferred method for creating aesthetic models, while Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is better at developing functional prototypes. In addition, there are other 3D printing options such as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS), and ProJet MJP technology. It’s important to do some research and weigh the pros and cons of each method to find the one that suits your project best! printing encompasses a wide variety of techniques. For instance, 2.Design Each 3D printing method requires you to design according to the capabilities of the technology. For example, it’s recommended that you avoid extremely small holes when designing for SLA due to the high viscosity of the material used in the process. 3.Material Similar to design considerations, each 3D printing process also has its own set of useable materials. However, this shouldn’t be a cause for worry. Most methods have a wide range to choose from. In SLS, for example, commercially available materials come in powder forms of polyamides, thermoplastic elastomers, polystyrenes. Meanwhile, you can use numerous thermoplastics such as ABS, nylon, and resin in FDM. 4.Price Price is a major consideration when choosing a 3D printing prototype service, but it shouldn’t be the determining factor. Instead, you must strike a balance between cost and quality, ensuring that you get the best value for your money! 5.Manufacturer Ultimately, all the factors mentioned above rely on one thing: your chosen 3D printing prototype service provider. Because of this, you must find a partner company that will meet your unique needs, using the most advanced techniques and machinery to produce your prototypes.
