Technical process details
Combines volume-oriented output with enclosed printing for engineering materials and a high-definition route for parts where finish matters more.
Can cover everything from functional prototypes and repeatable parts to large-format components and fine-detail masters.
Flexible and technical materials are selected according to temperature, mechanical load, finish expectations, and delivery speed.
Typical outcomes
- Functional prototypes
- Visual parts
- Short runs
- Masters and presentation models
What you can request
- Prototypes, functional parts, non-commercial replacements, brackets, housings, and workshop tools.
- Awards, recognition pieces, architectural models, drone, robotics, machinery, or electronics parts.
- Miniatures, display pieces, masters, molds, and fine-detail resin components.
What we need to quote
- STL, STEP, 3MF, or OBJ file if available; otherwise photos, sketch, or physical reference part.
- Critical dimensions, quantity, color, end use, and expected strength or finish level.
- Tell us whether cost, speed, visual detail, mechanical strength, or temperature resistance matters most.
Important limitations
- FDM parts can show layer lines and direction-dependent strength.
- Resins achieve higher detail but are usually more delicate than FDM for heavy mechanical use.
- Tolerances, color, and strength depend on material, geometry, orientation, and post-processing.
FDM
The FDM route is built for functional parts, rapid validation, short runs, and large-format components where scale, part cost, and production speed matter more.
- Large-format capacity up to 80 x 80 x 100 cm.
- Enclosed path for engineering materials such as PETG, ABS, ASA-CF, and TPU depending on the application.
- Good scalability for multiple parts at once and batch-oriented delivery.
Resin
The resin route is used when surface detail, fine visual reading, and presentation quality matter more than part cost or maximum size.
- 22.3 x 12.6 x 23.5 cm high-definition volume for smaller, detail-heavy parts.
- 33 x 18.5 x 40 cm volume for taller parts or small batches with better finish quality.
- XY resolutions down to 16.8 x 24.8 um for masters, miniatures, and presentation-grade parts.
Eco 3D
3D printing can make parts with less waste when planned well.
For prototypes, replacement parts, and short runs, additive manufacturing helps make only what is needed, validate before scaling, and reduce scrap compared with processes that remove material.
Additive manufacturing
Material where the part needs it
3D printing builds in layers, making it useful for testing form, assembly, and function before investing in molds, inventory, or volume production.
- Reduces discarded parts by validating before producing at quantity.
- Supports on-demand fabrication to avoid unused inventory.
- Helps repair or extend product life with replacement parts.
Local
Production closer to use
Fabricating in Leon for local or national projects can reduce transport, packaging, and waiting time compared with long supply chains.
Iteration
Better design before scaling
Testing a physical part early helps correct dimensions, assembly, and end use before producing larger batches.
Materials
Selection by real use
PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA-CF, or resins are selected around service life, performance, finish, and working conditions.

What this can achieve
When FDM is the better route
FDM is the stronger path when you need bigger parts, functional prototypes, small batches, or a more efficient cost-to-volume ratio. It is also the right choice for fixtures, props, architecture, mechanical validation, and components where extreme detail is not the top priority.
When resin is the better route
Resin is the better fit when the part needs to look cleaner, hold finer detail, or work as a presentation master. It is especially useful for miniatures, small parts, jewelry, display objects, and visual prototypes where visible layer texture needs to be minimized.
What people usually underestimate
3D printing is not only for 'mockups'. It can produce functional validation parts, spare parts, light tooling, commercial presentation components, molds, props, architectural pieces, and small runs for selling or market testing.

Answers before starting your project
Find answers about quotes, files, manufacturing and courses. You can search or choose a topic.
Quotes, payments and delivery
Which file formats do you accept: STL, 3MF, STEP, DXF or SVG?
For 3D printing we review STL, STEP, 3MF and OBJ files. For laser work you can share DXF, SVG, PDF, AI or a reference image; for CNC, DXF, STEP, SVG or a dimensioned drawing. The format and any necessary adjustments are reviewed for the process: an image or reference does not automatically replace a manufacturing-ready file.
3D printing, materials and finishes
What is the difference between FDM and resin printing, and which should I choose?
FDM builds parts from filament and suits functional prototypes, larger parts and short runs where scale and cost matter. Resin suits small parts, miniatures, masters and work requiring fine detail or a more uniform surface. The final choice depends on the intended use, material, size and finish.
Which material do you recommend for parts exposed to loads, heat or outdoor use?
Material selection depends on actual use: temperature, loads, outdoor exposure, required rigidity or flexibility and the expected finish. Share these conditions when requesting a quote so we can review a suitable material and process. Required strength or special performance must be defined and approved in writing; color alone is not enough to select a material.
Where can I check available materials and colors?
On the 3D Printing page, each technology’s information shows its in-stock materials and colors: filaments under FDM and resins under SLA/MSLA. Stock refreshes automatically while the page is visible, and you can also use Refresh. Confirm the required quantity and finish when requesting your quote.
View materials and colorsCan I request a material or color you do not currently stock?
Yes. Within the FDM or resin printer information on the 3D Printing page, open Request or recommend a material or Request or suggest a color. You can suggest materials we do not yet offer. Requests help prioritize purchases; submitting one does not create an order or confirm that the material is already available.
View materials and colorsWhat is the maximum size you can manufacture? Can large parts be split and assembled?
We can print up to 80 × 80 × 100 cm with FDM and up to 33 × 18.5 × 40 cm with resin. For larger parts, we can split the design into sections and assemble them. Splitting and assembly are reviewed against the project’s intended use and requirements.
What accuracy and tolerances can I expect?
Tolerances are defined for each project and depend on the process settings. In FDM 3D printing, they can vary with layer height and nozzle size, among other factors. Share your part’s critical dimensions and fit requirements so tolerances can be reviewed before manufacturing is confirmed.
Is post-processing included in the quote?
The cost of post-processing is included in the job quote. Review the quoted scope to see which post-processing is covered for your parts.
Do you offer sanding and painting?
Yes, we offer sanding and painting as post-processing options. Specify the finish you need when requesting your project so it can be covered in the scope. The cost of post-processing is included in the job quote.
Design, scanning and files
Can you reproduce a replacement from a broken part?
We can review a physical part, photographs and measurements to assess reproduction through scanning, CAD design or reverse engineering before manufacturing. A broken part may require reconstructing geometry and confirming dimensions and operating conditions; feasibility and scope are reviewed before quoting.
Electronics and programming
Can you combine mechanical parts, electronics and programming in one project?
Yes. Nectar combines mechanical design, manufacturing, electronics and software for integrated projects. We can review sensors, motor control, physical interfaces, IoT and housings or mounts made by 3D printing, laser or CNC. Design, manufacturing, programming, testing and adjustments are defined in the quote scope.
