Common Questions
Get answers to common questions about our industrial additive manufacturing services.
We accept STEP, IGES, STL, and OBJ files for 3D printing. For best results, deliver watertight STL files with proper mesh density. Nelotiv team can also convert 2D drawings or sketches into 3D models if needed. Maximum file size is 50MB per upload.
SLA (Stereolithography) uses UV laser to cure resin for high-detail prototypes with smooth surfaces. SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) fuses nylon powder for strong functional parts without support structures. SLM (Selective Laser Melting) melts metal powder for fully dense metal parts suitable for end-use applications.
SLA achieves layer thickness of 25-100μm with ±0.15mm tolerance for finest detail. SLM metal printing combines 20-100μm layers with ±0.2mm tolerance for functional parts. SLS nylon delivers 100μm layers with ±0.3mm tolerance. Resolution varies by technology, material, and part geometry.
Yes, post-processing enhances final part quality. SLA parts require support removal and UV post-curing. SLS parts need powder removal and optional smoothing or dyeing. SLM parts require stress relief heat treatment and surface treatment. We support comprehensive post-processing services including polishing, painting, and coating.
We have no minimum order quantity. Whether you need a single prototype or hundreds of production parts, we accommodate your needs. This flexibility makes 3D printing a practical choice for iterative design validation and bridge and low-volume manufacturing runs without tooling investment.
Absolutely. This is one of additive manufacturing's greatest advantages over traditional methods. SLM and SLS can produce parts with complex internal cooling channels, hollow structures, and lattice infills that reduce weight while maintaining strength — geometries impossible with computer-controlled machining.
