Service 2.3 · Rapid Prototype & Production
3D Printing
Complete prototype in just 72 hours, enabling fast design iterations and reduce mold dependency. We offer flexible low-volume production of 3D printed components with properties equivalent to injection molded parts. Serving multiple industries including automotive, aerospace, and consumer electronics.
3D printing and CNC machining follow opposite principles. 3D printing adds material layer by layer, while CNC removes excess stock from a solid block. 3D printing is not only used for rapid prototype validation, mockups, demo parts and display samples. With advances in printing materials and technologies, it can also be applied to mass production. At Jiometry-X, access five core processes and more than seventy materials, from engineering-grade plastics such as PEEK and PA12 to high-performance metals including titanium and stainless steel.
Core processes
- SLA — ABS, black resin, PA12, clear resin.
- SLS — PA6, PA11, PA12, TPU, glass-filled PA.
- FDM — PLA, ABS, PC, PP, PEEK, carbon fibre.
- MJF — PA6, PA11, PA12, TPU, glass-filled PA.
- SLM — stainless steel, titanium, aluminium.
Advantages of 3D Printing
- Complex Structure Capability|Enables manufacturing of complex geometry parts and maximizes design freedom.
Accelerated Validation & R&D|Speed up R&D cycles via rapid prototyping, mockup and testing.
Superior Cost Efficiency|Eliminates costly mold investment for low-volume production, cutting development lead time and expenses.
Customized Manufacturing|Supports production of large-size parts, complex prototypes and medium-low volume components, with a broad selection of materials.
Industrial-Grade Materials|Application-specific materials are available to meet diverse functional requirements, balancing structural strength and surface finish.
Consistent Precision Control|Dimensional accuracy reaches ±0.2 mm (for L＜100 mm) or ±0.2% × L (for L≥100 mm). Actual accuracy may vary depending on part geometry and features.

Aspects to Consider Before 3D Printing
Although 3D printing has numerous advantages, key factors need consideration before 3D printing. Our engineering team has rich experience to deliver professional advice:
- Parts require post-processing including cleaning, sanding and curing.
Warpage for large parts.
Lower dimensional accuracy compared with CNC & injection molding.
Layer-wise fabrication leads to weak interlayer adhesion and reduced Z-axis strength.
Some materials have poorer heat resistance than standard engineering plastics, susceptible to deformation during painting
Relatively high surface roughness for SLS printing.
Limited color choices for certain materials.
