FAQs
What are the guaranteed tolerances, thickness and size?
Our standard tolerances are +/- 0.2mm and 0.5 % of overall size. This is the same for both MJF and FDM.
If you need tighter tolerances, please speak to our technical team who will help you move forward.
What is the build volume of the HP MJF Process?
380mm x 284mm x 380mm, so if your part is on the larger side, contact our technical department and we will help you manage the printing process.
What is the build volume of the Stratasys F900?
914mm X 610mm X 914mm, which is pretty large, but if that is still too small, contact our technical department and we will help you manage the printing process.
What strength focused materials do you have?
FDM Nylon 12CF delivers the highest strength and stiffness to weight ratio of any Stratasys FDM materials. Its unique properties allow it to replace metal components like fixings, jigs production parts, and tooling.
We support other strength-based materials too, such as Antero 800 and Antero 840CNO3.
Which materials are the cheapest to run?
On our HP MJF, parts can be printed quickly and efficiently. We achieve this by using Nylon PA12. On our FDM machines, ABS is typically the cheapest, which also makes good for quickly iterating prototype parts.
Do you have materials for outdoor applications?
Yes, we’ve got materials like ASA, Ultems, and Nylon that perform well in outdoor applications.
What do you do if you don’t have a file?
If you don’t have a file and there is a part you want to replicate, no need to worry, we have scanning capabilities here at Fluxaxis.
Just get in contact and we’ll figure out the next steps.
What is the typical lead time?
5 – 7 Working days, if you do need something faster, please get in touch, we will always try to go that extra mile for our clients!
Which materials would be best used for tooling?
This does depend on the environment. For high temperatures we would suggest Ultems and for end of arm tooling, Nylon CF offers great strength.
Will you check the file before printing and inform the customer whether the file needs to alter?
Yes! We have the knowledge, experience and software to makes sure you get what you want. We will give you realistic outcomes and offer ideas if you are having design issues.
What type of files do you accept?
Preferably STL Files, but the native CAD file can work too. There is a long list of files which we also can use to generate an STL but generally we would like the original CAD to do this for you.
Do you have fire rated materials?
Yes, if you are concerned with this, please contact our team and we will advise you the best option. We have a few fire rated materials available.
