At Craftcloud®, among the different 3D printing materials, you can find Standard, Tough, and Durable Resins, which offer a variety of advantages depending on your project’s goals. Which one is most suitable for your 3D printed part? Stereolithography (SLA), Digital Light Processing (DLP), and Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) are resin-based 3D printing technologies that are…
When it comes to both metal 3D printing and CNC machining, 316L Stainless Steel and AlSi10Mg Aluminum are among the most popular and sought after options. Why is this and which one would be most suitable for your project? Metal 3D printing and CNC machining are, in a nutshell, opposite ways of manufacturing: Where the…
Investment or lost-wax casting is a manufacturing process that is used to produce highly detailed metal parts, from jewelry to aerospace components. While castable resin, castable wax, and castable wax resin are all designed for it, choosing the wrong one can lead to a failed project. When it comes to investment or lost-wax casting, in…
From the different materials offered by Craftcloud® for both 3D printing and CNC machining services, PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) and ULTEM™ (Polyetherimide, or PEI) are among the top choices when high-performance polymers are needed. Which one can best address your project’s goals? High-performance polymers generally refer to plastics that need to maintain their chemical properties when exposed…
FDM 3D printing offers many advantages – a wide material range, affordable pricing, fast prototyping – but it’s also important to have realistic expectations of what can be achieved with the technology. With Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printing, a thermoplastic (e.g. PLA, PETG, ABS) is melted in a nozzle and laid down in a…
Among the 3D printing services offered at Craftcloud®, Stereolithography (SLA) is a great choice if you are looking to bring to reality high-detail models, jewelry, architectural models, dental appliances, functional engineering assemblies, and more. This additive manufacturing technology also boasts a significant and varied amount of finishes, which may be an additional value or a…

For additive manufacturing technologies like FDM, SLA, and MSLA, you’ll find a wide range of materials available to suit different use cases and budgets. After you upload…
At Craftcloud®, you can order manufactured parts as a guest or as a registered user. While being a guest can have its advantages, so can creating an account. Read about why you should consider registering at Craftcloud®. There are a variety of advantages related to creating a Craftcloud® account, especially if you’re a professional aiming…
At Craftcloud®, you can bring your project to life by choosing between different manufacturing services, including 3D printing. Among the different technologies available, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) stands out because of its wide material range, accessible pricing, and (arguably) quick processing times. But FDM is also known for producing parts that show the layer lines…
ScoutDI shares a bit about how Craftcloud® played a part in the Scout 137’s structure. Could you tell us a little bit about ScoutDI? ScoutDI is a Norwegian technology company that develops drone-based systems for fully digitalized inspections of industrial confined spaces. Built around a tethered drone with scanning 3D LiDAR at its core, our…
