Non-Metal 3D Printing
Polymer-based additive manufacturing for prototyping, tooling, jigs, fixtures, and end-use functional parts. CipherFAB's non-metal AM capability spans four core technologies, each suited to a different combination of material behaviour, surface finish, and production volume.
FFF / FDM (Fused Filament Fabrication)
Thermoplastic filament extrusion for functional prototypes and end-use parts in ABS, ASA, PETG, Nylon, and fibre-reinforced composites (carbon fibre / fibreglass).
SLA (Stereolithography)
UV laser-cured liquid photopolymer resin for high surface finish and dimensional accuracy — ideal for visual prototypes, master patterns, and fine-feature models.
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)
Laser-fused nylon powder (PA12 / PA11) with no support structures. Produces isotropic parts suited to complex interlocking geometries and functional assemblies.
Metal 3D Printing
Metal additive manufacturing for complex geometries, lightweight structures, and production-intent metal parts. CipherFAB's metal AM network covers bound-metal, powder-bed fusion, binder jetting, and directed-energy deposition process families.
ADAM (Atomic Diffusion Additive Manufacturing)
Bound-metal extrusion printing followed by sintering — a cost-effective route to stainless and other alloy parts without a full powder-bed system.
SLS — Metal Variant / Powder Sintering
Powder sintering routes for metal components where geometry complexity and material utilisation favour additive over machining from billet.
DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering)
Laser powder-bed fusion for dense, high-strength parts in aluminium, stainless, titanium, and nickel alloys with production-representative properties.
Surface Conditioning
Support Removal
Removal of build supports and residual powder from polymer and metal printed parts prior to finishing or inspection.
Learn MoreBead Blasting
Abrasive media blasting to even surface texture, remove sinter residue, and prepare parts for coating or dyeing.
Learn MoreTumbling / Vibratory Finishing
Mass finishing to deburr edges, blend layer lines, and improve tactile and cosmetic surface quality on printed parts.
Learn MoreCNC Finishing of Critical Features
Secondary CNC machining of datums, threads, and tight-tolerance features on additive blanks where print accuracy alone is not sufficient.
Finishing
Heat Treatment / Sintering
Thermal cycles for stress relief, densification, and property development on metal additive and bound-metal parts.
Learn MoreDyeing
Colour infusion for nylon and MJF parts to achieve consistent cosmetic finishes without thick coatings.
Learn MorePolishing
Mechanical or chemical polishing for smoother surfaces on polymer and metal printed components.
