3D Printing Services (SLA, SLS, FDM)
At Axion, we use additive manufacturing to accelerate your product development cycle. Whether you need a visual model for a stakeholder meeting or a functional part for field testing, we match the right technology to your specific application.
Technologies
We offer the three industry-standard additive processes to cover the full spectrum of prototyping needs:
SLA (Stereolithography)
High Detail & Superior Surface Finish. SLA uses a UV laser to cure liquid resin layer by layer. It produces parts with the smoothest surface finish and highest resolution of any 3D printing technology.
Best for: Visual prototypes, master patterns for vacuum casting, snap-fit assemblies, and complex geometries requiring tight tolerances.
Materials: Standard Resin (White/Grey/Clear), High-Temp, and Tough Engineering Resins.
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
Functional Parts with Design Freedom. SLS fuses nylon powder using a high-power laser. Because the unsintered powder supports the part during printing, no support structures are needed, allowing for incredibly complex, interlocking, or hollow designs.
Best for: Functional end-use parts, living hinges, and batch production of small components.
Materials: Nylon PA12, Glass-Filled Nylon (for added stiffness).
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling)
Robust Thermoplastics & Tooling. FDM extrudes durable production-grade thermoplastics. It is the most cost-effective method for larger, robust parts that need to withstand mechanical stress.
Best for: Jigs and fixtures, large-scale prototypes, and functional testing.
Materials: ABS, ASA, PC (Polycarbonate), Ultem 9085 (Aerospace grade).
Why Choose Axion for 3D Printing?
Agility: rapid turnaround times (often 24-48 hours) to keep your project moving.
Engineering Review: We don't just hit "print." Our team reviews your CAD files for wall thickness and orientation issues to ensure a successful build.
Post-Processing: From support removal and sanding to painting and inserts, we deliver parts ready for use.
