3D Printing Order Form
To place an order, there are a few detail you need to outline regarding the 3D printed part. The first being a 3D file of the object. We accept all major 3D file formats including the following:
IGES, STEP, SLDPRT, OBJ, STL, 3DM, IPT, SAT
If you don't have a 3D file of the part you would like to design, no problem! Our engineers can work with you to produce the design to your exact specifications!
You will also need to select the Material Properties of the part you would like to have printed. These include the part's base material, material type, and color. We have a wide variety of high performance materials to choose from.
No need to worry about the quality of the materials, our customers deserve the best so we always use top-shelf plastics for all or our orders; utilizing brands like Taulman, NinjaFlex, and HatchBox to name a few!
Infill Percentage provides the option to change the density of the inner portions of the printed part. This can directly effect the strength of the part, however this increase in strength is not always linearly proportional to the infill. For example, an increase from 20% to 50% yields roughly a 50% increase in strength but increasing the infill from 50% to 70% yields only a 10% improvement in the strength characteristics. For the average model, an infill of 20% is a good balance between strength and cost and is appropriate for most cases. However, this would not be suitable for load bearing objects, such as brackets, which may require an infill closer to 70%.
Layer height directly affects the exterior surface finish. A large layer height would produce more noticeable lines between each layer but produces a less expensive, faster printing part. The opposite would be true for the smaller layer height where the layer lines are much less noticeable.
PolyForm3D also offers advanced options for those who want to specify exact details of the print including Nozzle Diameter and Infill Type. We recommend leaving these values as the default unless you have a specialized object you are trying to produce.
Once you finish filling out the form, an engineer will contact you within 24 hours with pricing info and additional details regarding your print.
