TBH, this could have been horrible to remove supports. But it was actually pretty easy, came off in one go!

Machine repair is just one of the many ways we make sure we are always up and running for your prints. Especially during busy season!

Back when we used glass build plates, Monday mornings or mornings after long holiday weekends looked like this. Shortly after, we switched to different, non-breakable, build plates.

Love coming into a massive failure. Good thing this was ahead of its due date. Sometimes, solid parts are too heavy for smaller support nibs.

Guess how large this molecule print was. And guess the steps needed to create this massive piece. (This was in 2018, when we also offered painting & finishing services)

When we hollow your parts, this is what the insides look like. We do what we can to preserve weight and material to save you cost! Can you guess how many hours Netfabb took to hollow this model?

Flexible Resin is like rubber. Slowly reforms back to its original shape + is a bit tougher on the flex.

It's like you can feel the paper stacks.

Aaaaaand this is why we love CJP (full color sandstone). The models are just so crisp and so colorful!!!

Did you know that Autodesk Netfabb can pack builds as close as 0.5mm? Yes, for FDM.

Infill is what preserves the structure and strength of PLA parts. Instead of printing this 100% solid, 3D printing saves material [and possible failure] while preserving structural integrity.

Not going to lie, we had to strap this part down in order to properly wash it's entire surface. This part was hollow and would float at the top of the Wash.

Hand and fingers for scale. Only SLA could produce these fine details.

For those who didn't know, SLA prints come out of the printer all gooey with extra resin. To get it to a state that's ready to be delivered to you, we must wash + cure it.
