Frequently asked questions about ...
- 3D Printing

SLS - Selective Laser Sintering
- Which type of Nylon is processed with SLS?
- With SLS, why can dimensional deviation occur on larger components?
- What is the standard colour ex-machine and are colours possible?
- Is this material suitable for food products or medical applications?
- Can the prototype be post-processed?
- How can I glue SLS components?
- Are SLS components impermeable to water?
- Why are we sometimes able to despatch Laser Sinter components within 1 day?
-
FDM - Fused Deposit Modelling
- Why Polycarbonate and not ABS on our machine?
- Why is FDM sometimes more expensive and sometimes cheaper than SLS?
- With solid components, how can I make an internal honeycomb in my 3D CAD model?
- With what can I mutually glue Polycarbonate prototypes?
- Why are FDM components available faster than SLS or SLA techniques?
- Is this material suitable for food products or medical applications?
- Are FDM components watertight?
-
SLA – Stereolithography
- Why is the delivery time of SLA technique slightly longer than the other techniques?
- Are SLA components impermeable to water?
- What is the natural colour of a SLA component?
- What are the basic limitations of applied ABS-like material compared to real ABS?
- What can I glue SLA components with?
- Can an SLA component be returned in order to be used as a master model?
- How can ageing/yellowing of the material be prevented?
-
CNC milling
- How is it possible to mill components that are completely unmillable?
- Are assembled milled components really functional?
- In what way is CNC milling suitable for prototypes?
- Why don’t we mill we none steel or SST?
- What does the surface of a milled component look like?
- Why is another CAD format than STL asked for with the milling technique?
- Digital Manufacturing
-
VAC / Vacuum casting from silicone moulds
- What is the service life of a silicone mould?
- Can I reorder components after I have received an initial supply of components?
- Why are components from a silicone mould coated to colour as standard?
- Can I order components in bulk, so without colour coating afterwards?
- Why is a mould always offered along with the production series and not separately?
-
3D Scanning
- How can I increase an existing product or copies in number?
- How can I have large components scanned?
- Is scanning on location an option?
- Why does RapidPrototyping.NL work together with Geopoints; why don’t you scan yourselves?
- Can I receive the (digitally) scanned model supplied together with the prototype?
- Who invoices the 3D scan work carried out?
-
3D CAD / STL-file
- How do I export a good STL file in SolidWorks?
- How do I export a good STL file in Autodesk Inventor?
- How do I export a good STL file in Pro-Engineer?
- How do I export a good STL file in Alibre Design?
- How do I export a good STL file in SolidEdge?
- How do I export a good STL file in Rhino?
- How do I export a good STL file in 3D Studio Max?
- What are affordable 3D CAD programs for starting with 3D drawing?
- What are alternative file formats if STL is unsuccessful or doesn’t work?
- I don’t have any design knowledge or CAD skills, what now?
- Functionality prototypes
-
Quotation
- Why can’t a price be specified by description, sketch or 2D drawing?
- I want to add more project information than the Prototyping CALCULATOR allows me, how?
- Has the prototyping CALCULATOR properly calculated my project?
- How soon can I get answers to quotation requests?
- Why is the stated delivery time somewhat variable (described as "approximately")?
- Finish prototypes
- Scale model
-
Delivery time and shipment
- Can I come and collect my prototype?
- Why is the stated delivery time somewhat variable (described as "approximately")?
- Why is the Delivery time of mat sprayed components faster than high gloss coated members?
- Why do I sometimes receive various packages delivered on one and the same day?
- Can a prototype to another address than the invoice?
- Method of working and confidentiality
-
PrototypingCALCULATOR
- I don’t have an STL file, how can I still obtain a quote for my project?
- I want to add more project information than the Prototyping CALCULATOR allows me, how?
- My component does not fit in the construction volume of any technique. How to proceed?
- I get an error message and eventually no quote. How to proceed?
- In the offer, the image of a component is empty. Has the upload gone well?
- I think the generated quotation is much too expensive / cheap, how can I complain about this?
