Quick answer
3DadditHub runs five industrial 3D printing technologies: FDM for engineering thermoplastics, SLA for fine-detail resin parts, SLS and MJF for support-free nylon parts and short runs, and metal printing (SLM/DMLS) for aluminium, stainless steel and titanium. Upload a file and you get a process and material recommendation with a technical quote within 24-48 hours.
Our processes
Five technologies, one technical contact
Each process has a dedicated page with materials, tolerances, lead times, prices and FAQs.
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)
Engineering thermoplastics such as ABS, PC, PA-CF and ULTEM at the lowest cost per part. Jigs, fixtures, brackets and functional prototypes.
- ±0.2 mm
- 3-5 days
- Up to 500 mm
SLA (Stereolithography)
Photopolymer resins with smooth surfaces and fine detail. Visual prototypes, masters for casting, transparent and biocompatible parts.
- ±0.1 mm
- 0.05 mm layers
- Smooth finish
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
Nylon PA12 and PA11 powder, no supports and isotropic strength. Functional parts, snap-fits and short runs of 10 to 1,000 units.
- PA12 / PA11
- No supports
- Short runs
MJF (Multi Jet Fusion)
HP Multi Jet Fusion in PA12 and PA12 GB. Repeatable series production with fine detail and consistent mechanical properties.
- HP PA12
- Series production
- Fine detail
Metal printing (SLM / DMLS)
Aluminium AlSi10Mg, stainless 316L, titanium Ti6Al4V and Inconel 718. Load-bearing brackets, manifolds, heat exchangers and tooling inserts.
- Al / 316L / Ti
- Inconel 718
- 5-10 days
How to choose
Which technology fits your part?
- Real engineering plastics (ABS, PC, PA-CF, ULTEM) at the lowest cost per part: FDM.
- Smooth surfaces, fine features or transparent parts: SLA.
- Strong nylon parts without supports, 10 to 1,000 units: SLS or MJF.
- Parts that carry load, heat or pressure in aluminium, steel or titanium: metal printing.
- Complex assemblies and living hinges printed in one go: SLS, MJF.
