Model Format: The model format is the CAD format of the part you send to Prism Engineering for 3D Printing. The desired format is native SolidWorks however essentially any solid format may be accepted. Formats are listed in the pull-down menu in order of preference. NOTE - If you provide an STL file, the resolution of the file when it was created by your system will dictate the facet size of your model. If you are unsure as to what type of file you should provide, or how to export the file, please contact Prism Engineering's 3D Printing Service Bureau department at 215-784-0800 or tjuliano@prismeng.com. Please keep in mind that the default tolerance for the STL file provided by your solids modeling system may not be adequate to produce your desired results.

Model Interior Style: We can produce parts in three "styles"; Solid, Solid - Double-wide and Sparse. Solid will reproduce your exact model in ABS plastic, providing mass every place your solid model has mass. Solid Double-wide will produce a solid interior and also provide maximum width rasters for faster, strong parts. A Sparse model will be hollow inside, except perhaps for necessary supporting ribs to maintain the model's look and feel. This type of model will be least expensive due to even shorter build times and less material required. The model itself, however, will not have the strength it would have as a solid or even semi-hollow part. This type of model is ideal for castings because less material will burn off faster than solid parts.

Desired Finish: You have three choices for your desired finish; Elite, Standard and Draft.

Slices produced by the 3D Printer are as follows:

The Elite finish slices are .007" high.
The Standard finish slices are .010" high.
In Draft mode finish slices are .013" high.

Depending upon the finish selected, build time will be vary accordingly. As a rule of thumb the Elite finish will take approximately twice the build time as a the draft finish. At this time there are no color choices available for the Elite finish. If parts have walls, less then .040" in thickness, then the Elite Finish must be selected.

Method of providing file to Prism Engineering: E-mail is the most desired method. Otherwise, files may arrive on CD. Your file should be sent at the approximate time when you submit this form so our technical staff can prepare to enter your model into our work queue and provide you with accurate feedback as to when your part would be completed.

Specify "show" side: If a specific side of your model will be the most critical side, in terms of appearance, please make that information known in this text box so our 3D Printing team can work to produce the best possible results for your needs. Leave this section blank if there isn't a "show" side.

Date Required: This is the date you need to have the completed part(s) back at your facility.

Quantity Required: This is the quantity of this part number that you want printed. If you omit this field, one is assumed.
