3D PRINTING

micro-Heat offers 3D printing for quick prototyping. 3D printing is also great for machine fixturing and casting operations.

3D PRINTING ON YOUR SCHEDULE

micro-Heat’s engineers can design and create precise, custom 3D printed prototypes and functional parts, according to your timetable.

Multiple printers and materials are available to provide the performance you need. Whether the part is for quick fit-testing or a durable end product, 3D printing may work for you.

Great strength 72 MPa
Service temperature up to 121°C

3D PRINTER IN ACTION

Building our first multi-color 3DBenchy on the Bambu Lab Printer.

This printer is equipped with sixteen filament spools for color and material options. It’s not as fast as the time lapse video, but we were amazed how fast this machine could run.
