Surface finishes / quality levels (EC, BC, FC): For which technologies do these apply?
- EC (Economic): SLS/MJF – standard matte finish.
- BC (Business): SLA with manual polishing (±0.1mm).
- FC (First Class): SLM with mirror electroplating.
Do you support functional prototyping or end-use parts?
Yes! We specialize in production-grade 3D printing:
- Functional prototypes: SLS nylon or FDM composites.
- End-use parts: SLM titanium (aerospace) or MJF PA12 (automotive).
What is the lead time for urgent orders?
Standard lead times are 8-14 business days, but expedited services deliver SLA/SLS parts in 7 business days. Global express shipping options (e.g., DHL/UPS) ensure fast delivery.
How to protect my intellectual property?
We sign NDAs and use encrypted file transfers. All data is deleted post-production unless requested.
What does surface finishing mean?
OLA Surface finishing enhances aesthetics and functionality. Options include:
- Mechanical: Sanding, polishing.
- Chemical: Vapor smoothing, electroplating.
- Coatings: Paint, conductive layers.
Are we limited in the size of components when measuring with the new computed tomography?
Our industrial CT scanners accommodate parts up to 1.2 meters in diameter, ideal for large aerospace components. For micro-scale details (e.g., lattice structures), we achieve 5μm resolution with high-precision scanners.
What industries do you serve?
We serve aerospace, automotive, healthcare, and consumer goods. Specialized in medical implants, lightweight aerospace brackets, and custom automotive tooling.
What are the maximum/minimum part sizes?
- Max: FGF (2m length), SLM (300x300x300mm).
- Min: SLA (0.2mm wall thickness).
How does OLA ensure the quality of your products?
Every OLA part undergoes 3-step OLA Q-Check™:
1- 3D scanning for dimensional accuracy (±0.05mm),
2- Material testing (tensile/impact),
3- Visual inspection. Our AS9100D-certified metal SLM parts and FDA-compliant resins include full traceability reports.
Can you print multi-material or color parts?
Yes! MJF supports grayscale/color parts, and multi-material FDM combines plastics/rubbers.
