Applications

Hansford3D offers a wide range of applications for businesses and individuals. Some common applications include prototyping, product design, custom parts manufacturing, architectural models, jewelry design, art and sculpture. Hansford3D uses 3D printing technology to create precise, durable, and visually stunning objects. We also offer design and consulting services to help you optimize your designs for 3D printing and bring your ideas to life. We also offer metal casting and shaping services. Whatever your 3D printing needs may be, Hansford3D is committed to delivering high-quality prints and exceptional customer service.  Learn more below.

CAD Modeling (Computer-Aided Design)

The process of creating precise 2D drawings and 3D digital models of parts or products using specialized software. These models define dimensions, geometry, and features, and are commonly used for prototyping, engineering, and manufacturing.

FDM Printing (Fused Deposition Modeling)

A 3D printing method that builds parts layer by layer by melting thermoplastic filament and extruding it through a nozzle. The material is laid down along a programmed path and cools to solidify, forming the
finished object.


SLA Printing (Stereolithography)

a precise 3D printing technology that uses a UV laser to cure liquid photopolymer resin into solid, highly detailed, and isotropic arts layer-by-layer.

Materials

Hansford3D practice and work with a few of a materials for easy access and simple pricing. However we are not afraid to try newer or advance materials to get the job done. With FDM printers we have varity of filament and in SLA a set of resin material.

FDM Printing Materials

  • PLA

    Polylactic Acid is one of the most common 3D printing plastics because it’s easy to print, affordable, and great for clean-looking parts. It’s also made from renewable plant-based materials (like corn starch or sugarcane), which is why it’s often called a more eco-friendly option than many other plastics.

  • PETG

    Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol‑modified is a popular 3D printing plastic because it’s strong, durable, and reliable while still being pretty easy to print. A lot of people choose PETG when they want something tougher than PLA, but without the printing headaches that can come with ABS.

  • TPU

    TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a flexible, rubber-like 3D printing material that’s great when you need a part to bend, stretch, or absorb impact without cracking. It’s commonly used for functional parts where flexibility is the whole point.

SLA Printing Materials

  • SLA Standard Resin

    SLA standard resin is a liquid 3D printing material used in resin (SLA) printers. It cures quickly under UV light, which is why it’s great for making very detailed parts with a smooth, clean surface.

  • Abs-like Resin

    ABS-like resin is a resin 3D printing material designed to mimic the feel and performance of ABS plastic. It’s a great choice when you want the high detail and smooth surface of SLA printing, but with better toughness than standard resin.
