3D Printing Designed for Customized Parts Processing

IDMockup custom 3D printing services are designed to meet a wide range of customer needs, from rapid prototyping to large-scale part production. We deliver 3D printed components and samples quickly and accurately. Our core 3D printing technology is Stereolithography (SLA), which ensures the highest quality results, minimizes tolerances, and optimizes surface finishes to meet customer specifications.

Key Features of Our Process

Plastic Materials

We primarily use “ABS-like” materials (yellow resin), which offer excellent hardness, toughness, impact resistance, and heat resistance. These are ideal for structural components and sample testing in industries such as home appliances, electronics, automotive, and medical devices.

Metal Printing Available

We can switch materials to print metal parts.

Maximum Build Size

600 x 600 x 400 mm, utilizing industrial-grade machines rather than desktop 3D printers.

Advantages of Our Method

High Customization and Rapid Prototyping

3D printing allows for quick product validation, testing, and provides rapid manufacturing solutions for customer products.

Production of Complex Shapes

3D printing can create intricate structures that traditional manufacturing methods cannot, such as undercuts.

Material Waste Reduction

As a layer-by-layer additive manufacturing process, 3D printing minimizes material waste, unlike CNC processes that generate excess material.

Lower Mold Costs

3D printing reduces mold development time and costs, speeding up product validation and facilitating rapid market entry for new products, including small-batch production.

If customers do not have 3D files (such as .stl, .stp, .step, .igs), we can also assist with 3D scanning of physical samples and combine 3D printing with silicone molding techniques to reverse engineer and recreate identical physical samples.

Advantages and Disadvantages	• Best details & surface in the industry • Can be used for transparent, precision medical, microfluidics • Slower printing speed, but the highest precision	• High density, strong mechanics, no support → Insert/free hollow • No support, excellent toughness , can be directly used as buckle, hinge and functional parts •High batch stacking efficiency	• One layer solidified at a time → Faster than SLA • Product production efficiency is high and cheaper, but still rougher than SLA, toughness and brittleness are still not as good as SLA	• Cheap to install, consumables are widely available but need to be replaced frequently • DIY & teaching mainstay

Scope of Services

Mockup Sample Prototyping

We create realistic product models or prototypes based on customer-provided requirements and drawings. These models accurately replicate the intended design, allowing for detailed evaluation and testing before moving to mass production.

Mass Manufacturing

Enables small-scale mass production of the same parts

On-demand Manufacturing

We provide just-in-time production based on customer needs, minimizing storage and inventory costs. This approach ensures efficient production while reducing overhead related to warehousing and excess stock.
