Hi, how can we help?

The materials we use at 3DPRINTUK go through extensive in-house research and testing before they become available on our service. We currently offer three materials:

SLS Nylon PA12 - This is our white Nylon material from our EOS SLS machines - the material is both versatile, strong and flexible. It can be finished in a number of ways and dyed in a few different colours
SLS Flexible TPU - A rubber like material (TPU) for flexible parts produced from our SLS machines. Available in natural white or dyed black.
MJF Nylon PA12 - This is our grey Nylon material from our HP MJF machines - the material is both versatile, strong and flexible. It can be finished in a number of ways and dyed black.

Follow the link to download the full datasheets for each material and read more about the material properties and our recommendations for suitable applications.

In their natural form, straight out of the printer, SLS Nylon parts are white in colour, SLS Flexible parts are off-white and MJF Nylon parts are grey.

At 3DPRINTUK we offer a variety of post processing options including polishing, dyeing and shot peening to transform your prints into professional looking, end user parts. Each finish has been carefully chosen to not only enhance the appearance of the part but more importantly to deliver a consistent finish from first part to last.

Set up fee

Some custom projects might require a set up fee. This fee will be visible on the buttons as you select your finishes and will show as a separate line in the totals for your quote.

When you upload a part for a quote our system will calculate which of our pricing structures (xyz, offset) will produce the cheapest print price possible. At 3DPRINTUK we are focussed on production so higher quantities will also trigger our price break discounts and will automatically be added to your quote. For more information about our pricing structure and price breaks please read our guide to pricing.

When you upload a part for a quote, our system will run an analysis to identify its suitability for 3D printing. There is a number of things we check for, but the primary metric is the wall thickness throughout the part. We recommend a minimum wall thickness of 1.5mm, however if there is no additional finishing (i.e. polishing) this minimum can be reduced to 1mm. If you are concerned about the strength of your part, feel free to enquire with our technical advisors by clicking "Query quote" or giving our office a call on 02086925208.
