Case Applications of 3D Printing

FAQ About 3D Printing

1. What 3D printing processes do you offer?

TENGHUI offers SLA, SLS, HP Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), metal 3D printing, and ceramic 3D printing through our manufacturing capabilities and qualified production partners. Our engineers recommend a suitable process based on your material, geometry, functional requirements, quantity, and budget.

2. Which 3D printing process is best for my project?

SLA is suitable for detailed appearance models and prototypes requiring smooth surfaces. SLS and MJF are commonly used for functional nylon parts and low-volume production. Metal 3D printing supports complex metal components, while ceramic printing serves applications requiring specific thermal, wear, or electrical properties.

The final recommendation depends on your design and intended operating conditions.

3. What materials are available?

Available options include photopolymer resins, PA11 and PA12 nylon, selected reinforced polymers, TPU, stainless steel, aluminum alloys, titanium alloys, and technical ceramics.

Material availability depends on the printing process. Please specify your requirements for strength, flexibility, temperature resistance, chemical exposure, or appearance so we can recommend an appropriate grade.

4. What tolerances can you achieve?

Achievable tolerances depend on the process, material, part size, build orientation, geometry, and post-processing. Layer thickness describes the printing increment and should not be treated as the finished part’s dimensional tolerance.

Please identify critical dimensions and inspection requirements on your 2D drawing. We will confirm achievable tolerances during quotation and may recommend secondary machining for precision interfaces.

5. What is the maximum part size and minimum wall thickness?

Build size and minimum wall thickness vary by process, material, and equipment. Thin walls, unsupported features, large flat surfaces, and enclosed cavities require additional review.

Send your CAD model for a project-specific assessment. We will confirm build feasibility, wall thickness, support requirements, and whether splitting the part is advisable.

6. Can 3D printed parts include threads or threaded inserts?

Yes. Depending on the material and application, we can evaluate printed threads, tapped holes, captive nuts, or threaded inserts.

Heat-set inserts may be suitable for compatible thermoplastics such as selected SLS or MJF nylons. SLA resins are thermosets and generally require alternative methods, such as bonded or suitable press-in inserts. Functional connections should be reviewed for assembly torque and retention requirements.

7. What post-processing options are available?

Depending on the material and process, options may include support removal, cleaning, curing, sanding, bead blasting, painting, dyeing, polishing, CNC machining, and heat treatment.

Metal-specific treatments, such as anodizing or hot isostatic pressing (HIP), are evaluated according to the alloy and application. Finishing can affect dimensions, so critical surfaces and final tolerances should be specified before quotation.

8. What is the typical lead time?

Lead time depends on the selected process, material availability, part size, quantity, post-processing, and inspection requirements.

We confirm a project-specific production schedule with your quotation. Please provide your required delivery date and destination so production time and shipping time can be evaluated separately.

9. Can printed parts be used for functional or end-use applications?

Yes, when the selected material, manufacturing process, and part design meet the application’s requirements. Performance may vary with build orientation, environmental exposure, post-processing, and loading conditions.

Medical, food-contact, pressure-containing, or other demanding applications require specific material documentation, testing, and validation. These requirements should be defined before production.

10. What files and information do you need for a quotation?

Please provide a STEP/STP or STL model, together with a dimensioned PDF drawing where tolerances or inspection requirements apply.

Include the material or required properties, quantity, units, surface finish, intended use, critical dimensions, and target delivery date. For STL files, specify the model units and provide a sufficiently detailed, watertight mesh.
