3D Printing Laboratory Services

3D Printing

Dive into the 3D Printing Technology and Materials Industry, a transformative sector that spans from creating intricate prototypes to manufacturing complex parts across automotive, aerospace, healthcare, and consumer goods. This industry leverages additive manufacturing techniques to build objects layer by layer, offering unparalleled customization, efficiency, and innovation.

3D Printing Testing and Research Services

Contract Laboratory can help you with all your 3D Printing testing, analysis, scientific research and development, inspection, certification, engineering, failure investigation, and product development needs including:

  • Mechanical testing for tensile compression and flexural strength
  • Thermal testing including heat deflection temperature (HDT) and glass transition temperature (Tg)
  • Chemical resistance testing to assess material degradation when exposed to various chemicals
  • Accuracy and precision tests for dimensional fidelity of printed objects
  • Surface roughness measurements to evaluate the finish quality of printed parts
  • Fatigue testing for assessing the durability of parts under cyclic loads

Type of 3D Printing Products

Contract Laboratory can assist your company, academic institution, government agency or organization in outsourcing contract laboratories to perform testing, analysis, and product development for many 3D Printing finished products, processes, systems, in-process materials, raw materials and components such as:

  • Fused deposition modeling (FDM) printers for thermoplastic materials
  • Stereolithography (SLA) printers for high-precision resin parts
  • Selective laser sintering (SLS) printers for durable nylon products
  • Metal 3D printers using direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) or selective laser melting (SLM)
  • Multi-material 3D printers capable of printing with different materials simultaneously
  • Bioprinters for creating tissue and organ prototypes for medical research
  • Consumer-grade 3D printers for hobbyists and education
  • Industrial-grade 3D printers for manufacturing applications
  • 3D printing materials
  • including PLA
  • ABS
  • PETG
  • TPU
  • resins
  • metal powders
  • and composite materials

3D Printing Test Methods and Standards

Contract Laboratory can help with testing, analysis, assays, evaluations, examinations, inspections and certifications to different 3D Printing test methods, standards, procedures or specifications.

  • ASTM E2544-11a - Standard Terminology for Three-Dimensional (3D) Imaging Systems
  • ASTM E2938-15 - Standard Test Method for Evaluating the Relative-Range Measurement Performance of 3D Imaging Systems in the Medium Range
  • UL 2904 - Standard Method for Testing and Assessing Particle and Chemical Emissions from 3D Printers

3D Printing Certifications, Licenses, and Accreditations:

Depending on your 3D Printing products, you may need third-party 3D Printing laboratories or research facilities with specific certifications, licenses or accreditations.

  • ISO 9001 certification for quality management systems in the production and testing of 3D printed products
  • ISO/ASTM 52900 for standard terminology in additive manufacturing general principles and terminology
  • ASTM F2924 for standard specification for additive manufacturing titanium-6 aluminum-4 vanadium with powder bed fusion
  • ISO 13485 for quality management systems specifically for the design and manufacture of medical devices
  • including those produced by 3D printing
  • CE marking for 3D printed products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA) ensuring compliance with health safety and environmental protection standards
