Frequently Asked Questions
How can I choose the best 3D printing process for my project?
Selecting the right 3D printing process depends on your project’s requirements, such as material, part complexity, mechanical properties, and desired surface finish. Explore our 3D Printing Decision Guide to help you compare technologies to ensure the ideal match for your application.
Can SYR support both prototyping and mass production with 3D printing?
Yes, SYR specializes in both rapid prototyping and scalable mass production. For mass production, 3D printing is used to create complex geometries, reduce tooling costs, and enable efficient on-demand manufacturing. Suitable technologies include Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) and Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) for high-volume plastic parts.
How can I get a quick estimate for 3D printing costs at SYR?
We offer flexible quoting options for different project volumes. Use our AI-Powered Instant Quoting Engine for immediate estimates on prototypes and small-to-mid-sized batches. For larger volumes, including over 1,000 pieces, we provide manual quotes within 24–48 hours.
Do you assist with optimising part designs or selecting materials for 3D printing?
Yes, we offer support at multiple stages to ensure the best outcome for your project: Automated DFM feedback: Our instant quoting engine provides automated Design for Manufacturability (DFM) feedback, highlighting potential issues with your design and selected 3D printing process. Preliminary Manufacturability Check: Before production begins, we conduct a detailed review of your design. If any changes are necessary, we’ll reach out to collaborate on adjustments. Expert Guidance for corporate customers: Our 3D printing experts are available to help optimise your design and guide material selection based on your project’s specific needs.
Can you print multi-colour objects?
Yes, SYR can produce multi-colour objects using technologies like PolyJet and Multi Jet Fusion (MJF). Additionally, we offer post-processing options (painting and dyeing) to achieve custom colours and refine the finish of your 3D printed parts. Upload colour-supported file formats like OBJ or 3MF to get started.
What materials are available for 3D printing?
We offer 60+ plastics, elastomers, and metals for instant quoting , each with unique properties such as strength, heat resistance, flame retardancy, flexibility, and more. If you need a custom material, we can provide a quote within 24–48 hours . In most cases, if the material is supported by one of the 3D printing technologies we offer, we can produce it through our manufacturing network.
Which post-processing options do you offer for 3D printed parts?
SYR offers instant quotes for post-processing options such as bead blasting, media tumbling, vapor smoothing, dyeing in various colours, and spray painting with custom RAL colour options. These enhancements improve the appearance and functionality of your 3D-printed parts. For any custom post-processing needs, we can provide a quote within 24–48 hours upon request.
What is the maximum size of an object I can print?
The maximum size of a 3D-printed object depends on the technology used. For example, with Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), we can print parts up to 900x900x600 mm, while Stereolithography (SLA) supports maximum dimensions of 736x533x635 mm.
How do you ensure the quality of 3D printed parts?
We maintain the standards of quality through a network of vetted manufacturing partners, and rigorous inspections. Upon request, we can provide detailed inspection reports, including analyses from in-house and external labs. For more information about our quality assurance processes, visit our Quality Assurance page.
Can you 3D print in metal?
Yes, SYR offers metal 3D printing using Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) technology. We provide a variety of metals, including aluminium, stainless steel, tool steel, titanium, and inconel, suitable for creating prototypes and end-use parts.
Can you print transparent or translucent parts?
Yes, transparent and translucent parts can be printed using SLA (Stereolithography) technology with desktop and industrial transparent ABS-like materials, Flexible 80A Resin, and Silica Glass. These materials provide options for high resolution, smooth surfaces, stiffness, flexibility, and chemical resistance, catering to diverse applications.
Other Clients Reviews
“SYR is not just a supplier; it’s a true solution partner. In such specialized projects, challenges and delays are inevitable. However, we never faced any issues while working with SYR.”
“We were surprised by the quality, texture, and dimensional accuracy. It took us a while to get there, but thanks to good communication with the manufacturers via SYR, we were able to achieve decent results.”
“Working with SYR opened up new possibilities—I could 3D print the deployable arms in aluminium, using generative design software to create strong yet lightweight components. This approach allowed me to think beyond plastic prototypes and consider more robust materials for real-world applications.”
“What SYR offers is the ease of evaluating the designs, getting feedback and prices on the fly. I was personally very happy with the communication with Georgy, the support and the whole customer experience with SYR.”
“We needed a manufacturing process that was relatively cheap for very low-volume production runs, used a material that was light, and had a lead time of weeks rather than months. The decision process quickly led us to 3D printing using plastics and CNC machining for aluminium.”
“It’s not the first time that I ordered from SYR and I am always happy with your services. You can get parts quite fast at reasonable costs. That’s what I needed with this project. I think I got my parts within about a week and in the meantime I got everything else ready, like renders and marketing materials to prepare for the launch.”
“Collaborating with SYR has put us in a strong position to make progress, particularly with mass production. Being able to outsource has significantly reduced our workload and we can still easily maintain quality and meet deadlines.”
