3D Printing Services
3D printing, once seen merely as a tool for prototyping, has ushered in a groundbreaking era of manufacturing. This cutting-edge technology significantly shortens product development cycles and seamlessly brings innovative ideas to life.
3D Printing Services, also known as additive manufacturing, revolutionizes the way we create objects. It transforms a 3D CAD model into a tangible item by systematically adding material layer by layer. This method eliminates the need for traditional tools like cutting instruments or molds, as the object is directly printed onto a print bed.
Utilizing a computer-generated 3D model, the technique dissects the object into numerous cross-sections. These sections are then meticulously constructed on the print bed, layer after layer until the object is fully formed. Additive manufacturing has become indispensable for rapid prototyping, manufacturing, and tooling, making it possible to create a master model through 3D printing services.
This technology is extensively applied in crafting physical prototypes, models, patterns, tooling components, and production parts from a diverse range of materials, including polymers, composites, metals, biomaterials, and ceramics.
Leveraging 3D Printing Services, companies can accelerate the product design process, streamline operations, and use additive manufacturing for product visualization. This ensures every aspect of the design is refined and perfected before market launch.
RA Global specializes in providing 3D Printing and Rapid Prototyping services, transforming your visions into tangible realities. We cater to businesses and individuals alike, harnessing the power of 3D printing for creating show or concept models, production parts, spare parts, and facilitating rapid prototyping, manufacturing, and tooling.

Additive Manufacturing - 3D Printing Processes
Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)
Fused Deposition Modeling is also known as FDM or Fused filament fabrication. FDM is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material. The filament is fed from a large spool through a moving, heated printer extruder head, and is deposited on the bed layer by layer as per the part geometry. This is the most widely used 3D printing system in the world.
FDM 3D Printing Services provides unmatched reliability, repeatability, and a wide range of material options. Ranging from inexpensive prototyping materials like ABS and PLA to engineering and high-performance 3D printing materials like Polycarbonate, Nylon, Carbon Fiber, and ULTEM. FDM is the most versatile and commonly requested service at RA Global.
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is an additive manufacturing technique that uses a laser as the power source to sinter fine powdered thermoplastic material (typically Nylon or Polyamide), aiming the laser automatically at points in space defined by a 3D model, binding the material together to create a solid structure.
When the model is finished, it is removed from the part bed and polished on the visible surfaces before being finished. This guarantees a single robust component that can withstand all necessary tests. Thin-walled ducts, impellers, enclosures, and housings, as well as live hinges, which were previously impractical to produce, may now be made with relative simplicity thanks to SLS 3D Printing Services.
Stereolithography (SLA)
Stereolithography (SLA) is an additive manufacturing technique that may be used to produce parts with a smooth finish and high levels of detail. Typically, 3D printers that use this method use a liquid resin that becomes solid when exposed to light from a UV laser.
The laser is controlled using motors and mirrors to trace out the cross-sections of objects in layers. These layers stack on top of one another to create the desired object. SLA 3D Printing Services is used to create prototypes that need to be highly precise since it adds layers one at a time by tracing a UV laser beam on the surface of the liquid photo-curable resin.
Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)
Direct Metal Laser Sintering is perfect for metal parts with complex geometries, organic shapes, and hollow designs in prototyping. Compared to an identical part created using conventional manufacturing technology, it maximizes performance and minimizes weight. In succeeding layers of DMLS, metal particles are fused together by the heat from a laser.
Based on the information the CAD model provides, the laser is directed along the scanning bed. The model is finished, taken from the part bed, and any extra powder is brushed off. It is then heated to remove any remaining tension. By removing the supports and sanding the surfaces, it is completed. DMLS is also commonly known as Metal 3D Printing.

Since a 'prototype' is never just a prototype
Every stage of the product development process requires the use of prototypes. You need prototypes that adhere to your specifications if you wish to undertake form, fit, and function testing or use a model that is accurate to your design as verification.
Engineers and designers can quickly and frequently revise their concepts thanks to rapid prototyping. 3D Printed prototypes are useful for both visual and functional testing because of the variety of accessible technologies and materials, including plastics and metals.
