Additive manufacturing
From One Prototype to Repeatable Production
Zyntrica Robotics provides additive-manufacturing support for concept models, functional components, product enclosures, fixtures, customised parts, educational models, and short production runs.
Capabilities
What the print farm supports
Single parts, functional components and short repeat runs, reviewed before production begins.
FDM 3D Printing
Thermoplastic printing for prototypes, enclosures, jigs and functional components.
Resin 3D Printing
For fine features, smooth surfaces and detail-critical models.
Prototype Enclosures
Housings built around your board outline, connectors, fasteners and mounting points.
Functional Parts
Load-bearing, sliding or moving parts reviewed for material, wall thickness and orientation.
Custom Components
Replacement parts, adapters, jigs, fixtures and one-off custom geometry.
Batch and Repeat Orders
Short runs reproduced from validated files and print profiles for consistency.
Design-for-Additive-Manufacturing Review
Geometry reviewed for printability, wall thickness, overhangs and feature size before production.
Orientation and Support Planning
Print orientation and support strategy chosen for strength, accuracy and finish on visible faces.
Tolerance and Fit Review
Clearances for holes, threads, press fits and mating parts reviewed against the intended assembly.
Surface Finishing and Post-Processing
Support removal, sanding and finishing options discussed and confirmed in the quotation.
Assembly Support
Inserts, fasteners and multi-part assembly handled where agreed as part of the job.
Packaging and Dispatch Coordination
Protective packing and dispatch arranged as stated in the accepted quotation.

Workflow
How print orders work
Eight steps from your first file to dispatch.
01
Upload files or submit requirements
Send geometry or a written description of the part and its application.
02
Geometry and printability review
Files are checked for manifold geometry, wall thickness, feature size and printable detail.
03
Material, orientation, finish, quantity and tolerance discussion
Choices are agreed against how the part will actually be used.
04
Quotation and approval
A written quotation is issued covering scope, quantity, finish and delivery terms.
05
Test print where required
A sample is produced first when fit, tolerance or geometry risk justifies it.
06
Production
Parts are produced using the approved file, material and profile.
07
Quality inspection
Parts are checked against the agreed criteria before they leave.
08
Packaging and dispatch
Parts are packed and handed over or dispatched as agreed.
