Why Product Designers Choose Thinglab
We don’t just sell printers; we customise additive workflows that solve real-world design constraints.

Complexity Without Cost

Internal lattices, organic curves, and integrated assemblies. 3D printing removes the “Design for Manufacture” (DFM) barriers of traditional tooling.

Hyper-Rapid Iteration

With the high speed SLA and FFF printers, prototypes are ready by morning. Test on Tuesday, refine on Wednesday, and ship a finalised design by Friday.

Production-Grade Materials

Move beyond “look-alikes.” Our resins and filaments are engineered to match the mechanical properties of injection-molded plastics.

    Product design ddditive FAQs

    Common questions from product designers transitioning to industrial 3D printing.

    While traditional FDM is anisotropic (weaker in the Z-axis), our SLA (Form 4) and SLS (Fuse 1+) technologies produce isotropic parts that very closely match the mechanical properties of injection-molded plastics like ABS or Nylon. In functional testing, our engineering resins often exceed the performance of entry-level molded plastics.

    Using a printer like the Formlabs Form 4, most handheld product designs can be printed in under 2 hours, including post-processing. You can have a “production-look” visual prototype in your hands by lunchtime.

    Yes. Many of our customers, use 3D printing to manufacture end-use consumer products. For batches of 50–1,000 units, additive manufacturing is often more cost-effective than investing in an injection molding tooling and with a much shorter leadtime.

    Absolutely. We provide flexible and customised training to suit your needs and applications. We don’t just set up the hardware; we teach your designers how to optimise their workflow for the specific additive processes.
