Our 3D Printing Technologies
Formioo offers a full suite of industrial 3D printing technologies, including SLA (stereolithography), SLS (selective laser sintering), MJF (Multi Jet Fusion), and FDM (fused deposition modeling). These processes support a wide range of applications, from visual prototypes to functional end-use parts. We work with various high-performance materials such as nylon (PA12), ABS-like resins, TPU, PC, PETG, and carbon fiber-reinforced filaments to meet diverse requirements for strength, flexibility, heat resistance, and detail resolution.
To meet both aesthetic and performance standards, we offer a variety of post-processing and surface finishing options, including sanding, polishing, dyeing, painting, vapor smoothing, and clear coating. Depending on the technology and material used, our 3D printing processes can achieve tolerances as tight as ±0.1 mm for SLA and ±0.3 mm for SLS/MJF, ensuring consistent quality and dimensional accuracy. Each part is inspected to meet design specifications and end-use expectations.
SLA works with photopolymers but with high precision and fine details.
SLS-printed parts have good mechanical properties and are often used for functional parts.
SLM uses a laser to heat metal powders to create high-strength, complex metal parts.
MJF fuses nylon powder precisely, with a product that is strong, detailed, and durable, with durable parts that last long.
