3D Printing
3D printing that moves from concept to physical part with the right production path.
Combines large-volume and high-definition 3D printing in one commercial offer so the client thinks about the outcome, not the underlying technology.
Process specifications

- High-definition resin volume: 22.3 x 12.6 x 23.5 cm with 16.8 x 24.8 um XY resolution.
- Larger-volume resin output: 33 x 18.5 x 40 cm with 43 um XY resolution.
- Engineering-material route for PETG, ABS, ASA-CF, and flexible materials depending on end use.

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.
