Profesionalni 3D tisk za prototipe ali male serije – FDM, SLA, SLS
Each process has its own advantages and disadvantages. Below is a brief, practical overview of the three 3D printing methods we offer, their main characteristics, and when to choose each one depending on the purpose, size, precision, or appearance of the model. The overview serves as a guide for selecting the most suitable technology for a specific type of product or project. Each method provides a different balance between surface quality, mechanical properties, and production costs. With a thoughtful choice of process, it is possible to achieve an optimal balance between technical requirements, functionality, and the appearance of the final model. This ensures a process that best supports the goals and requirements of each individual production.

The right choice of material greatly affects the functionality, durability, and appearance of the product. Each project requires consideration of strength, elasticity, thermal resistance, or color – that’s why we provide guidance even before printing. We offer numerous types of materials, including technical polymers for mechanically stressed parts and aesthetically refined materials for presentation models. Different materials allow the product to be adapted to its purpose – from prototypes to final functional components. With the right combination of material and technology, it is possible to achieve an optimal balance between performance, appearance, and cost.
Biodegradable material from natural sources. Great for eco-friendly and aesthetic prototypes.
Chemically resistant and UV stable. Ideal for functional parts and housings (~70°C).
Heat and shock resistant. Excellent for robust technical parts and housings up to ~100°C.
UV and weather resistant. Ideal for exterior applications requiring durability.
Extremely tough and resistant material for stressed parts and gears.
Flexible, rubbery material with high elasticity. Ideal for protection, seals and flexible joints.
Extremely rigid and lightweight composite. Ideal for technical and structurally important parts.
Reinforced with fiberglass. Provides strength, rigidity and good vibration damping.
The final finishing defines the appearance and usability of the product. From matte textures to high gloss – the surface look can be precisely adjusted by choosing the right process. Surface finishing can enhance appearance, reduce friction, or increase wear resistance. Various methods are available, such as sanding, painting, or applying protective coatings. By selecting the appropriate finish, it is possible to achieve the desired look and feel of the product while also extending its lifespan.

CLEAR COATING
VAPOR SMOOTHING
Fills irregularities for subsequent surface smoothing.
Enhances strength, scratch resistance and water resistance
A smooth finish, ready for the next stage of processing.
We use quality acrylic paints and varnishes with matte or glossy look.
Improves appearance and increases UV and mechanical resistance.
Chemical surface smoothing for a smooth, shiny finish.
We offer multicolor FDM 3D printing. By combining multiple filaments, it is possible to create visually appealing prototypes, labeled functional parts, or aesthetic products without the need for post-painting. Multicolor printing enables clearer concept presentation, separation of individual components, and the inclusion of logos or markings directly into the model. The process is suitable for products where both functionality and distinctive appearance are important. With precise coordination of materials and colors, a high visual impact can be achieved while maintaining the mechanical reliability of the product.
When ordering, we offer the option to select the level of detail and infill for 3D printing according to the purpose and requirements of the model. The detail level is adjusted by modifying the layer height and other parameters such as extrusion line width, printing speed, and top surface smoothing. For higher infill levels, the thickness of the outer wall is also adjusted. In this way, the balance between surface quality, mechanical strength, and production time can be optimized. Smaller layers provide a smoother appearance and higher precision, while larger ones allow shorter printing time and lower material consumption. Adjustments are made according to the model’s functionality – from presentation prototypes to technically demanding parts.
Print detail (resolution)
HIGH DETAIL

LOW RESOLUTION
0.10 mm / 0.3 mm nozzle — for fine details and the smoothest surface.
0.15 mm / 0.4 mm nozzle — a balanced choice of quality and speed.
0.20 mm / 0.5 mm nozzle — good for larger and functional parts.
0.25 mm / 0.6 mm nozzle — the fastest printing, suitable for quick prototypes.
Infill
STANDARD (~30%)
LARGE VOLUME MODELS (<15%)
FUNCTIONAL PARTS (>60%)
TPU (FLEXIBILITY)
The best balance of weight, strength, and cost.
Minimal infill to reduce weight — ideal for large or architectural models.
For mechanically stressed parts — more infill provides greater strength and rigidity.
Less infill = a softer part. More infill = a harder and more stable product.
