Assembly

Customers can choose to have their 3D prints assembled if they want to create a more complex final product that consists of several parts. These parts can be printed separately and later assembled into a larger whole.

Mechanical fixings:

Customers can use mechanical fasteners such as screws, bolts, nuts and pins to join the parts of their 3D printed objects together.

Glue joints:

Glue can be used to firmly attach the parts together and create a seamless finish.

Click connections:

Snap connections are designed to fit parts together without glue or fasteners.

Snap-fit designs:

Snap-fit designs use specific shapes to hold parts in place without additional fasteners.

Complex objects:

Assembly allows customers to create more complex objects that are too large to 3D print all at once or that consist of multiple parts for better functionality.

Materials Combination:

Customers can combine different materials to add unique properties to their final product, for example, by combining flexible and rigid parts.

Functional and moving parts:

Assembly allows customers to add moving parts to their 3D printed objects, creating functional prototypes or mechanical devices.

Repair and Adjustment:

Assembly allows customers to replace or change parts if something goes wrong during the 3D printing process, giving them more flexibility in the production process.

Precision and alignment:

Properly assembling parts can require precision and accuracy, especially when dealing with complex designs with tight tolerances.

Assembly time:

Assembly may require additional time, especially if the item consists of many parts, which can increase delivery time for customers.
