1 Online Platforms

Online 3D printing platforms provide a convenient way to access a wide array of printing options without the need for your own equipment. You can upload your 3D model files, choose from various materials like plastics, resins, or metals, and select finishing options. These platforms typically offer user-friendly interfaces, instant quotes, and the ability to track your project's progress. They cater to both beginners and professionals by providing helpful resources and customer support to guide you through the printing process.

Online platforms are ok for non-confidential designs. If the designs are confidential, it's better to not make use of such platforms.

Online platforms are a great way to get your prototypes done. If not treated properly it can be junk in and junk out. That means if you are just looking for a 3D model, it works. But if you are looking for functional models or critical components it’s always better to have an application level discussion before you finalise the material or technology. 3D printing is successful if you do it by understanding the application.

2 Local Services

Local 3D printing services are ideal if you prefer a more hands-on approach or need face-to-face interaction to discuss your project's specifics. These services often allow for more personalized attention to detail and can provide expert advice on material selection and design optimization. Additionally, by choosing a local service, you can reduce shipping times and costs, and potentially visit the facility to see your prototype or model being printed, which can be invaluable for iterative design processes.

Local 3D printing services are essential for your initial prototype products as some details, textures treatment can not be judged by internet or platform. Personally if you local 3D printing services are ideal for price, we suggest this as #1 priority.

3 Specialty Printers

For projects that require specialized printing techniques or materials, such as high-strength engineering plastics, flexible materials, or full-color sandstone, specialty 3D printing services are the go-to choice. These services have advanced equipment and expertise to handle unique requirements that standard printers cannot fulfill. They can offer guidance on the best printing method for your project, whether it's Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), Stereolithography (SLA), or Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), ensuring that your prototype or model meets industry standards.

SLA is getting more and more popular as the price decreased. In China, there are more than 100 factories are mabufacturing SLA products while SLS manufacturers increased a lot. Moveover, the laser price decreased. Price is getting more and more competitive in this industry. But we are still looking for better material such as soft resin material for SLA.

4 Material Options

The material you choose for your 3D printed prototype or model can significantly impact its functionality and appearance. Top 3D printing services offer a diverse range of materials, including standard plastics like ABS and PLA, durable nylons, flexible TPU, and even metal composites. Understanding the properties of these materials is essential for selecting the right one for your project, whether you need heat resistance, structural integrity, or aesthetic appeal.

If we can have color options for the material range, the 3D printing services will improve a lot. For resin equipment, the strength is still not ideal. For cast resin and soft resin, we still did not have too many competitors in this industry.

5 Customization Potential

One of the most significant advantages of 3D printing is the ability to customize every aspect of your prototype or model. Top services will work with you to tailor your design to exact specifications, ensuring that each print is as close to your vision as possible. This includes customizing the size, shape, texture, and even the color of your model. With advanced software tools, you can iterate quickly and make adjustments on the fly, which is particularly beneficial for prototyping.
