example of tough SLA resin print - cog

Did you know that we have commercially available SLA printing in-house?  It’s worth mentioning as I have noticed one prominent 3D printing company in New Zealand stating on their web site they have “the only commercially available SLA machines”…  this is not true, we are SLA printing almost everyday right here in Tauranga NZ with […]

FDM 3D printing – Real life cost and material advantages
