Manufacturing Processes

Series production via 3D printing in Sofia. FDM, SLA, SLS and CNC technologies for plastic parts with industrial-grade quality and repeatability.

01 / Technology

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)

3D printing with thermoplastic filaments

Series production via FDM technology in Sofia. Ideal for functional prototypes and series production of plastic parts from 100 to 10,000 units.

Porsche Cayenne — set of jack-point covers in ABS-GF, produced with FDM technology
Porsche Cayenne · ABS-GF · Series production

Advantages

  • 10 industrial materials: PLA, PLA-CF, PETG, ABS, ABS-GF, TPU 95A, PA, PA6-CF, PC, ASA
  • Fast turnaround — from 24 hours for small batches
  • Cost-effective for medium and large runs
  • Tensile strength up to 105 MPa (PA6-CF) and heat resistance up to 215°C

Applications

  • Functional prototypes
  • End-use industrial parts
  • Electronics enclosures and housings
  • Spare parts and tooling

SLA (Stereolithography)

High-precision 3D printing with resins

SLA technology for plastic parts with exceptional precision down to 0.05 mm layer height. Perfect for medical, dental and engineering applications.

BASF Forward AM Ultracur3d® RG 3280 — high-precision SLA print with ceramic filler
BASF RG 3280 · Ceramic-filled · 0.05 mm layer

Advantages

  • Layer heights of 0.05 / 0.10 / 0.15 mm
  • Smooth surface with no visible layers
  • Transparent material options
  • Ideal for detailed and master models

Applications

  • Medical devices and models
  • Jewelry and decorative elements
  • Master models for silicone molds
  • High-detail prototypes

Resin types

6 types

Standard resin

All-purpose for prototypes and visual models with high detail and a smooth surface.

High-temperature resin

Withstands high temperatures without deformation — for engineering tests and casting molds.

Ceramic-filled resin

Ceramic-filled for higher stiffness, wear resistance and dimensional stability.

Flexible resin

Flexible and rubber-like — for seals and ergonomic prototypes.

Dental resin

Biocompatible resin for dental and medical applications with high precision.

Castable resin

Burns out cleanly — for metal casting in jewelry and engineering applications.

03 / Technology

SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)

Industrial 3D printing with polymer powders

SLS on a Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W: a laser sinters nylon or TPU powder layer by layer (110 µm) while the unsintered powder supports the part — no support structures needed. 165 × 165 × 300 mm build volume and 100% part density.

Nylon 12 (PA12) — SLS part sintered on a Formlabs Fuse 1+ 30W without support structures
Nylon 12 · SLS · 100% density

Advantages

  • 7 materials: Nylon 12, Nylon 12 Tough, Nylon 12 White, Nylon 12 GF, Nylon 11, Nylon 11 CF and TPU 90A
  • No support structures — complex geometry, internal channels and moving assemblies in one print
  • Isotropic mechanical properties and 100% density — PA12: 50 MPa tensile strength, HDT ~175 °C
  • Prices from €0.625/g (PA12) — cost-effective for batches because the build volume is packed with many parts at once

Applications

  • Functional end-use parts and batches of 10 to 1,000+ units
  • Clips, hinges, snap-fits and living hinges (Nylon 11)
  • Stiff housings and brackets with carbon/glass fibre (Nylon 11 CF, Nylon 12 GF)
  • Flexible seals, lattices and dampers (TPU 90A)

SLS polymer powders

7 materials

Nylon 12 (PA12)

Versatile and most popular: balance of strength, dimensional accuracy and fine detail. €0.625/g.

Nylon 12 Tough

Higher impact resistance and elongation for clips and parts exposed to impact. €0.700/g.

Nylon 12 White

White PA12 with a clean surface, ideal for dyeing and consumer products. €0.825/g.

Nylon 12 GF

Glass-filled — high stiffness and thermal stability for brackets and fixtures. €0.800/g.

Nylon 11

Bio-based and ductile with high elongation — for hinges, snap-fits and prosthetics. €0.750/g.

Nylon 11 CF

Carbon-fibre reinforced — light, stiff and heat-resistant metal replacement. €1.150/g.

TPU 90A

Shore 90A elastomer with high elongation and tear resistance. €1.050/g.
