SKED 3D
3D Printing
The SKED team primarily offers a 3D printing services. We have extensive
expertise in Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printing and resin 3D printing.
These methods of 3D printing are a good choice for the production of plastic
parts in varying dimensions and complexities.
The FFF 3D printing method involves melting a filament through a nozzle. The material is precisely deposited at a specific location through a program executed by the machine. After several layers are deposited, the result is a 3D object. To simplify, we can imagine a paper printer where ink is layered to create a depth effect. Generally, the layers have a thickness of 0.2mm, equivalent to 2 to 4 standard sheets of paper. This method is useful for creating complex parts, batch productions, prototypes and more. A wide range of materials and colors are available for FFF printing.
Although resin 3D printing achieves much higher precision than FFF printing, the process is more complex. The average layer thickness is 0.05mm, which is equivalent to 1 to 2 human hairs. Parts are created from a resin vat, where a LCD screen flashes to polymerize the resin at precise locations. Thanks to the high precision of this manufacturing method, it is possible to create molds, realistic figurines, and other items requiring fine details. However, resin printing requires more preparation and post-printing steps, such as alcohol cleaning and UV curing to stabilize the part and make it manipulable by hand.

Computer Assisted Drawing (CAD)
CAD allows us to start with an idea or sketch and end with a 3D files that can
be machined, edit or else. The goal is to obtain a 3D model that can be
exported to manufacture a part or to create a file composed of assembled
components. CAD also includes creating 2D plans where the critical dimensions
and tolerances of the product are noted to ensure a functional assembly. CAD
also enables quick modifications to the model for iterations or improvements.
In the design phase, it is possible to create anything from a simple bolt to a
structure comparable to an Olympic stadium. This tool is behind the vast
majority of objects we interact with daily.
CAD is important in every product development process. The SKED team has expertise in this field and can assist you in various phases of your project, whether it’s the initial design, refinement, or else.
