3D Printing Visual Part and Feature Size Guide

PartSnap’s 3D Printer has a build size of approximately 12in x 8in x 6in, about the footprint of a sheet of letter or A4 sized paper.  It is well suited for a wide range of part sizes, industries and applications. Below is a gallery of some parts created with Objet 3D printing showcasing the diversity […]

Kinematic 3D Models

PartSnap’s 3D printer can manufacture kinematic 3d models (plastic models with moving parts) in a single print session.  During printing, moving parts are separated from each other with a small gap which is filled with support material.  After printing, the support material is washed away and the kinematic parts are freed to move relative to […]

Artistic Creations – High Resolution 3D Printing

  Above is a view of several items after printing.  You can see that they have varying amounts of support material based on their geometry.  The object at the top (shown below after cleaning) is an example of the high-resolution detail possible using our 3D Printing technology.  This sculptural model was created by George Hart who generously […]

Medical Prototypes from 3D Imaging

At PartSnap we can accept DICOM data from CT Scans, Ultrasounds and MRI’s to produce accurate medical prototypes and models used by doctors, dentists and surgeons to aid with: Visualization Surgical Rehearsals Education Note: print material is neither bio-compatible nor FDA approved.

Scanned, Prototyped and CNC Machined

A client needed to replicate a part no longer in production. The part was first scanned. A model of the part was prototyped using our Objet 3D Printer. The printed prototype allowed our client to verify form, fit and function of the threads. Finally, the CAD model was CNC machined by a 3rd-party partner vendor. PartSnap […]
