What is a 3D printing service – 3D Demand

What is a 3D printing service?

3D printing service is booming in the Netherlands, offering a revolutionary way of manufacturing for businesses and individuals. The process involves designing a product on a computer and then producing a physical object by building it up layer by layer using special 3D printers. Thanks to improvements in technology and decreases in costs, 3D printing has become increasingly accessible and provides an excellent solution for rapid prototyping, low-volume production and manufacturing of unique products. Many companies and institutions in the Netherlands are turning to 3D printing services, as it offers new opportunities to design and produce products in a more efficient and flexible manner.

What does a 3D printing service cost?

Our 3D printing service starts from 1.00 and costs about 4.00 per printing hour. This price is calculated while uploading your product in our configurator and you can view it immediately. Before you decide to start 3D printing yourself, it is important to consider the cost of purchasing a 3D printer and the filaments needed. In addition, it is also good to consider whether you are familiar with the required post-processing and have the necessary experience and knowledge in the field of 3D printing. If not, it is a smart choice to use our 3D printing service in the Netherlands. This will save you a lot of worry and effort.

How do I create a 3D model?

A 3D printer is controlled by CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and uses computer-controlled technology. The process of 3D printing begins with creating a 3D design using specially designed software. The CAD model of the object to be printed is then converted into an STL (Surface Tessellation Language) file. This file is read by most 3D printers and divides the 3D object into a polygonal structure. The computer then instructs the 3D printer on what actions to perform to produce the desired 3D print.
