Q.What is customized 3D printing?
Customized 3D printing (additive manufacturing) is the process of fabricating physical three-dimensional objects layer-by-layer directly from digital 3D CAD files (.STL, .3MF, .OBJ, .STEP). Unlike mass manufacturing which requires expensive molds, custom 3D printing allows individual parts, custom dimensions, personalized textures, and one-off prototypes to be made cost-effectively without minimum order quantities.
Q.How do I order a custom 3D print from FDM Tech Lab?
Ordering is seamless: (1) Upload your 3D design file (.stl, .3mf, or .obj) on our 3D Cost Slicer or send it via WhatsApp/Email, (2) Select your preferred material (PLA+, PETG, ABS, TPU) and infill density, (3) Receive an instant volumetric quote, (4) Confirm your order via secure Razorpay checkout, and (5) Receive your high-quality 3D printed parts delivered to your doorstep.
Q.Can I send my own 3D design / STL file?
Yes! We accept STL, 3MF, OBJ, and STEP files created in Blender, Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Tinkercad, Rhino, or downloaded from Thingiverse and Printables. If you only have a 2D sketch or idea, our CAD team can also model it for you.
Q.What materials and colors are available for 3D printing?
We stock industrial-grade filaments including PLA+ (crisp finish, display models), Tough PETG (waterproof, weather-resistant, mechanical parts), High-Temp ABS (automotive & enclosure heat resistance), and Flexible TPU 95A (dampers, gaskets, grips). Colors include Matte Stealth Black, Signal Orange, Silk Sapphire Blue, Crimson Red, Forest Green, Cyber Yellow, and Pure White.
Q.How much does custom 3D printing cost in India?
Our pricing is transparent and calculated strictly on volumetric material usage and print time starting at just ₹129 for personalized items and ₹4.5/gram for custom engineering parts. We offer bulk quantity discounts for batches of 10+ to 500+ units with zero setup or tooling fees.
Q.What is the turnaround time for a 3D printed order?
Standard custom print orders are manufactured and dispatched within 24 to 48 hours. Nationwide courier delivery is available across all Indian states, with fast ~1-day shipping in Pune after dispatch.
Q.What print resolutions and tolerances do you achieve?
We offer layer resolutions from ultra-fine 0.08mm for delicate visual art up to 0.28mm for structural rugged components. Our calibrated industrial printers maintain standard dimensional accuracy within ±0.15mm.
Q.Do you print functional prototypes and electronics enclosures?
Yes. Rapid prototyping for engineering teams, robotics clubs, and IoT startups is our specialty. We produce snap-fit enclosures, ESP32/Arduino/Raspberry Pi cases, drone frames, motor mounts, and heat-set brass threaded inserts.
