Looking for more than a desktop 3D printer can provide? Need an alternative to your in-house capabilities? Our industrial 3D printing service ensures accuracy and repeatability so you get highly precise parts—every time. At Protolabs, additive manufacturing is designed for functional prototypes, complex designs, and production components in as fast as 1 day.
3D Printing Processes
Metal 3D Printing
Direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) uses a fibre laser system that draws onto a surface of atomizsd metal powder, welding the powder into fully dense metal parts.
Stereolithography (SLA)
Stereolithography (SLA) uses an ultraviolet laser that draws on the surface of liquid thermoset resin to create thousands of thin layers until final parts are formed.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Selective laser sintering (SLS) uses a CO2 laser that fuses nylon-based powder, layer by layer until final thermoplastic parts are created.
PolyJet & 3D Printed Silicone
PolyJet uses a jetting process where small droplets of liquid photopolymer are sprayed from multiple jets onto a build platform and cured in layers that form elastomeric parts.
Multi Jet Fusion (MJF)
Multi Jet Fusion selectively applies fusing and detailing agents across a bed of nylon powder, which are fused in thousands of layers by heating elements into a solid functional component.
Custom Finishing for 3D Printed Parts
Looking to boost the strength, clarity, or appearance of your 3D-printed parts? Choose from microfluidic and micro-resolution materials, secondary machining, and custom finishes like painting.
"Great service at a fair price and the quality of my parts is fantastic. Keep up the great work.”
