Types of 3D Printing Technologies Available

3D printing is an additive manufacturing process in which we build objects layer by layer from digital models for you. Here is some brief information about different types of 3D printing services: 

Vat Polymerization

Best For: High-detail prototypes, dental models
Materials Used: Standard, Tough, and Flexible Resins

Vat polymerization cures liquid resin using UV light, producing highly detailed and smooth parts. It’s ideal for industries like dentistry and jewelry, where visual precision matters most.

Material Extrusion (FDM/FFF)

Best For: Low-cost prototyping, functional parts
Materials Used: PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon

Material extrusion feeds thermoplastic filament through a heated nozzle, layering material in a precise path. It’s widely used due to its affordability, accessibility, and broad material compatibility.

Powder Bed Fusion (SLS, DMLS, SLM)

Best For: Aerospace, medical implants, industrial-grade parts
Materials Used: Titanium, Stainless Steel, Aluminum

This process fuses powdered metal or plastic using lasers. It delivers strong, end-use parts with high thermal resistance and mechanical performance—critical for regulated sectors like aerospace and medical.

Material Jetting

Best For: Multi-color, multi-material parts
Materials Used: Photopolymers, Silicones

Material jetting deposits material droplets layer-by-layer and cures them with UV light. It supports full-color and flexible parts, making it perfect for presentation models and product visualization.

Binder Jetting

Best For: Full-color models, sand casting molds
Materials Used: Gypsum, Sand, Metal Powders

Binder jetting sprays a binding agent over powder layers. It's fast, cost-effective, and suitable for casting molds and decorative pieces—especially where mechanical stress isn’t a key requirement.

Our Comprehensive 3D Printing Process

Craftsmen Industries uses a closed-loop production process with a mix of engineering expertise, material science, and project management. Here’s how it works:

1. Design Consultation

• In-house CAD engineers optimize your part for printability and performance

 2. File Preparation & Simulation

• STL files are validated with simulation software to check stress points, tolerance, and layer support

 3. 3D Printing Execution

• Prints are run on FDM, SLA, SLS, and DMLS printers depending on material and geometry.
• Each printer is calibrated daily and ISO-audited

 4. Post-Processing & Finishing

• Craftsmen offers:
  • Sanding, vapor smoothing, coating
  • Sterilization (for medical parts)
  • Painting & branding (for commercial prototypes)

 5. Final Quality Control

• Each part undergoes dimensional verification, visual inspection, and material testing (if required).

Craftsmen Industries ensures repeatable results, even across large batches, with documented traceability.

How to Choose the Right 3D Printing Services for Your Business With Craftsmen Industries?

Choosing the right 3D printing partner affects product quality, speed, and regulatory compliance. Below are the key decision factors:

Certifications and Quality Systems

A certified provider ensures consistency and compliance. Look for ISO 9001 for quality management or ISO 13485 for medical-grade manufacturing. Craftsmen Industries is also FDA-registered, making it ideal for regulated and high-risk applications.

Material Capabilities

Material range directly affects part performance. Confirm that the provider supports plastics, resins, and metals, including heat- and chemical-resistant options. Craftsmen Industries offers industrial-grade thermoplastics and metals tailored to demanding environments.

Application Specialization

Every industry has unique production needs. Craftsmen serves the automotive, medical, retail, and food service sectors, providing expertise in both functional prototyping and end-use parts with exacting standards.

Post-Processing & Finishing Options

Post-processing affects strength and appearance. Craftsmen offer both cosmetic and functional finishes—from vapor smoothing and dyeing to coatings—ensuring the final product meets both aesthetic and performance goals.

Lead Times and Scalability

Speed and production flexibility matter. Craftsmen deliver 48-hour prototypes and scales quickly using multi-machine systems, unlike hobbyist-focused providers. Their workflow supports enterprise-grade output with high repeatability.

Frequently Asked Questions 

1. 1. Can 3D printing replace traditional manufacturing?
   While ideal for prototypes and complex designs, it’s not yet cost-effective for mass production. Best used alongside CNC, injection molding, or sheet metal fabrication. In hybrid workflows, 3D printing helps shorten the development cycle before final production.

2. What’s the strongest 3D-printed material?
   Carbon-fiber-infused nylon and titanium alloys offer the highest strength-to-weight ratios for industrial applications. These materials support high-stress applications in aerospace, robotics, and medical tooling.

3. Is 3D printing suitable for end-use parts?
   Yes—with proper material selection (e.g., ULTEM for aerospace, stainless steel for machinery), printed parts meet functional demands. End-use parts are now common in automotive interiors, electronics housings, and custom medical devices.

4. How precise is 3D printing?
   Tolerances range from ±0.1 mm (FDM plastics) to ±0.02 mm (SLS metals)—comparable to machining for most applications. Dimensional accuracy depends on calibration, layer height, and print orientation.

5. What industries benefit most from 3D printing?
   Aerospace (lightweight components), healthcare (custom prosthetics), automotive (rapid tooling), and defense (on-demand spare parts). Architecture, fashion, and consumer goods also adopt 3D printing for agile production.
