Our FDM manufacturing standards

We manufacture your parts according to strict manufacturing standards. A verification of these requirements is included in our inspection report that is shipped with every order.

A dimensional accuracy of ± 0.5% with a lower limit of ± 0.5 mm (± 0.020")
Consistent surface finish with no bumps or delamination. Marks left by retraction and layer changing are acceptable.
All support material is removed such that the supported surface has a consistent finish.
All parts are printed with 3 outline / perimeter shells or a wall thickness of 1.2 mm.
