June 1, 202210 Fun But Still Useful Things To 3D Print for Beginners
June 1, 2022How 3d printing service started
When talking about printers, the first thing that comes to mind is ink on paper. But since the 1980s, 3D printing has gradually been redefining how we view printing.
It is gaining attention in the Philippines. 3D printing or Additive Manufacturing (AM) has become a helpful commodity. This is because of the increase in government support as well as entrepreneurial ventures.
DTI are already increasing the country’s printing infrastructure via funded Fab Labs. On the other hand, the National Economic and Development Authority has passed a norm. Give foreign companies more rights to develop local manufacturing capabilities.
The 3D printing market estimated to generate up to around $100 billion on incremental value by 2025. This, in turn, impacts Asean’s projected real gross domestic product by 1.5 to 2 percent.
Where can i 3d print at an affordable price?
Nothing comes cheap in the market nowadays. Especially if it’s something unique or personalized.
3D2GO is the only one-stop-shop for everything 3D printing. Our services are available for small, medium, and large-scale businesses. No matter what the unique request is, we can take on the challenge.
We offer everything outside the box. Once you see the considerations, it would be easy to understand why they come in pricey.
- What affects the price the most is the material used for printing. We use materials that are durable and easily shapeable.
- Another thing to consider is the design of the model. Complex or not, we want to give you quality printed products. Aside from the aesthetic aspect, we think of how durable it will be. For this, we either need or suggest the thickness of the base for the support. Thicker support means more materials. More materials mean that the price would increase as well. Pricey. But hey. You got a stable project that can stand on its own.
- Lastly, the post process also affects the price. It depends on how intricate the details are. There could be parts that are too small. Or maybe the design is just one of its kind. The complexity would also need the usage of more resin just to meet the needed detail. In turn, post processing is being affected. With the use of more resing, there would be a larger need for polishing. You can forget this last consideration. That is if you don’t mind having a rough finish instead of smooth perfection.
3D Printing vs. 3d digital printing
Digital printing, you say? It is not something that is being confused with the new wave of digital printing technology. 3D digital printing is a whole new world. It came from the simplicity of digital printing. It has then evolved and joined forces with 3D technology.
First, let’s look at what these two are:
Digital printing
Documents are being reproduced from computer data. The outcome is then printed on paper, cardboard, textile, or any flat material. In short, the output is a 2D image.
Materials used:
- Laser
- Inkjet
3D printing
A model is 3D printed with the use of materials specific to this technology. The output is a model that can stand on its own. It has angles and facets that you can see and feel. The 3D printed output gives a more imaginative look as the model is being made uniquely.
Materials used:
- ABS Plastic
- PLA Plastic
- Photopolymer Resin
- Artificial Wood & Copper Filaments
In summary, digital printing reproduces an existing document. 3D printing allows us to manufacture an object in three dimensions. But of course, we can only achieve a 3D product once we understand the digitally printed version. Digital printing and 3D printing are also opposing in terms of the material used.
