3D Printing Case Studies

Perhaps the only up-side to a long, wet, windy and (as it turned out) very snowy winter in the south- west of the UK, is that it gives the idle mind time to wander off in directions it might not otherwise have found itself. These past few months haven’t been the best for diving opportunities,…

Injection molding is undoubtedly the quickest way to produce plastic parts however it is not the cheapest. The cost involved in preparing a mold can be extremely high for product developers especially startups and young companies such that making minor changes even after an issue has been detected is a very unpleasant experience. It is…

Due to recent advancements in 3D printing and the introduction of even more materials, the technology has been found to be effective for various applications in areas like scientific research. Being able to provide the optimum test conditions is very important to achieve accurate results in any scientific study. Cuckoos are known for handing over…

  If you’ve been a regular customer of 3D Quick Printing and took delivery of a 3D printed FDM model from our 3D printing service bureau you may have wondered why the 3D printed part felt a little lighter or heavier than it should. The reason is that on the Catalyst 3D printing control software…

More often than not when we receive enquiries from our growing customer base at our 3D printing service bureau, generally speaking the parts fit into the build envelope of our 3D printers. The Dimension Elite FDM 3D printer has a build envelope of 200 x 200 x 300mm and the Objet 30 3D printer that…

The 3D Quick Print team were recently asked to produce some grab handles for the under-floor electric box that contains power and internet sockets. You’ve probably seen them in conference rooms and hotels. The first thing the bureau service team said was ‘yeah, no problem – please send us the .stl file’. All we got…

So then, how many 3D printing technologies are out there? FDM – Strong functional parts that use thermoplastics. A molten bead of plastic is deposited like a glue gun layer upon layer. Great technology for working prototypes, jigs and fixtures and end use parts for small batch production Polyjet – A UV cured resin that…

Our 3D printing Bureau Service is getting asked lots of questions about the different slice height options on our Dimension Elite 3D printer that uses FDM. Fused Deposition Modelling uses a bead of molten thermoplastic (like a very fine glue gun) to build strong functional 3D printed parts. Our Dimension Elite 3D printer has two…

What is support structure and why do we use it? In simple terms support structure is there to support all down facing surfaces, overhangs and undercuts. The model material can’t float in mid air so a ‘scaffold’ is generated by the software. At our 3D printing bureau we use Stratasys 3D printers. We have FDM…
