3D Printing
“3D Creative” provides a wide range of the highest quality 3D printing services. We offer 3D printing services employing SLS (Selective Laser Sintering), BJ (Binder Jetting), MJF (Multijet Fusion), FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling), and SLA (Stereolithography) technologies to our customers.
Our 3D printer farm is made up of over 90 reliable highest quality devices
Advantages of 3D printing
- Extremely short preparation time and production time – the opportunity to have a real product on the same day it was created
- Molds and other expensive tools are unnecessary – the cost of 3D printing is much lower than producing single products in traditional ways
- Printed products can be used as prototypes before starting mass production of parts, thus accelerating the process of product development and improvement which in turn prevents costly errors
- Possibility to produce products with complex shapes that would take long or be impossible to produce by traditional methods
- A wide range of 3D printing materials allows adapting printed products for almost every field
- The speed and availability of 3D printing allow printing products on-demand – as much as you need at that moment
- Environmentally friendly technology with almost zero waste

Application of our 3D printing services
3D printing from plastic and sand is used in a wide range of fields: automotive and aviation industries, dentistry, reverse engineering, production of metal molds, architecture, design, sculpting, and restoration, as well as, for the needs of private clients. 3D printing technologies have become accessible to everyone and are applied to implement unique and exclusive projects daily.
In addition to 3D printing, we offer a full range of other services provided by the highest competence specialists in their field, meeting the needs of the most demanding customers. We consult on 3D printing and 3D scanning issues, create computer 3D models according to the provided drawings, photos, or sketches, and perform reverse engineering. We also provide 3D scanning services and deliver finishing of printed products, perform surface preparation, monochrome, artistic and pressure painting.
Technologies we use
SLS technology
With SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) 3D printing technology we print products from PA (polyamide) plastic powder. During the printing process a laser is used to melt the plastic powder.
Materials, their properties and technical specifications
| Material | Polyamide (PA) |
|---|---|
| Printing layer thickness | 60-150 µm |
| Power source used to bind material | Laser |
| The main areas of application | Architectural models; prototypes; finished products; mechanical parts of complex geometry |
| Advantages | High precision and detail; sharp angles and edges; strength; impact resistance |
| Dimensions | 340 x 340 x 620 (mm) |
| Accuracy | 50 µm |
Binder Jetting technology
We print products from quartz sand and PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) plastic powder. During 3D printing, the powder is bonded with a special binder to form a solid product.
Materials, their properties and technical specifications
| Material | PMMA plastic | Quartz sand |
|---|---|---|
| Printing layer thickness | 80-200 µm; standard 150 µm | 200-300 µm; standard 200 µm |
| Adhesive distribution resolution | Up to 600 dpi | Up to 200 dpi |
| Binder (glue) | Polypor B; Polypor C | Furan; Phenolic |

| Accuracy | 80 µm | 100 µm |
Multijet Fusion technology
When printing products with Multijet Fusion technology, a binder is sprayed on the thin-layer polymer powder in the required places, which is hardened by IR rays. Polyamide powder is used for printing.
Materials, their properties and technical specifications
| Material | Polyamide (PA) |
|---|---|

FDM technology
With FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printing technology we print products from various polymers: ABS, PLA, ASA, ESD, PETG, HIPS, NYLON, TPU, WoodFill, PA CF and others. During production, the object is printed in layers by melting the filament fed to the heated print head.
