The Catalog serves as a platform for customers to curate a collection of 3D printable parts, enabling straightforward ordering through predefined configurations such as material, post-processing method, part requirements, and printing service.

What is Defined in the Catalog?

Each item in the Catalog is cataloged with the following parameters:

• 3D file

• AM Material

• Post-processing Methods (optional)

• Printing Service

• Part Requirements (optional)

• Attachments (optional)

For the full list plus explanations see Ordering from the Catalog | Full List of Properties of Catalog Parts.

This feature is invaluable for companies frequently ordering identical sets of new or spare parts with consistent configurations (reordering from stock). Additionally, it is ideal for businesses aiming to facilitate 3D printing access to employees unfamiliar with the technology. The parts are pre-qualified and configured with material and post-processing, eliminating the need for additional 3D printing-specific knowledge.
