How 3D printing works
The Additive Manufacturing Process
From a digital concept in CAD to physical layer-by-layer production, discover how we build precision components.
1. CAD Modeling
The journey begins with a 3D digital model created using tools like Fusion 360, SolidWorks, or Siemens NX, capturing precise geometric dimensions.
2. Slicing & G-Code
The CAD file is converted into horizontal layers via a slicer, translating geometry into precise machine instructions (G-code) for nozzle path and extrusion rates.
3. Layer Deposition
The printer melts and deposits engineering thermoplastics (like PETG, PLA) or cures resin layer by layer, building complex internal and external structures.
4. Post-Processing
Support structures are removed, and parts undergo finishing, sanding, or painting to achieve the desired mechanical strength and surface finish.
