Protostudios provides a wide range of advanced 3D printing technologies. Whether you require high-strength, final-use nylon/carbon fiber components, stainless-steel assemblies, or full-color multi-material, multi-textural demonstration models, we have the machines and expertise to provide high quality 3D printed components.

3D Printing Technologies

Polyjet Printing Example from Stratasys

Polyjet

Full-color, multi-texture demonstration models.

Thousands of colors and dozens of textures in a single print: This is the state-of-the-art in 3D printing technology. From a fully functional mechanical prototype to an incredibly accurate model of the human heart, this printer can provide you with a demonstrable prototype complete with colors, rubber and transparent materials and variable textures.

 

FDM Printing Example from Markforged

Fused Deposition Modeling

End-use, high-strength components.

FDM is the most well known form of 3D printing. It works by melting a plastic roll of filament and extruding the material onto a substrate one layer at a time. This produces strong and versatile parts. There are hundreds of printable filaments with a myriad of properties. Impact resistant ABS, UV resistant ASA and extremely strong carbon fiber are a few materials available.

SLA Printing Example from Formlabs

Stereolithography

High-resolution small parts and models.

Stereolithography printing is an additive manufacturing process that uses an ultraviolet light source on a vat of photosensitive resin. This process produces very accurate and high resolution parts. SLA is often used for micro-scale components, jewelry and metal casting.

 

 

 

Metal Printing Example from Desktop Studio

Metal Printing

Laser-based technology that uses powdered metals.

In Metal 3D Printing, similar to Laser Sintering, a high-powered laser selectively binds together particles on the powder bed while the machine distributes even layers of metallic powder. Support structures are automatically generated and built simultaneously in the same material, and are later manually removed.
