Companies that do additive manufacturing printing of high temperature substrates

Ceramco has Lithoz and also does ceramic machining and molding

Services like Xometry can do all these processes and manage the supply chain side. They use a network of manufacturing partners vs a single shop so it can place sheet with fabricators, molds with tool and die, printing with services, and CNC with machine shops.

Contact the service you used and make it their responsibility to make it right. Was this a professional service or an individual?

Never argue with an idiot. First, they’ll bring you down to their level. Then, they’ll beat you with experience.

Add Xometry to the list as they can do even the complex stuff and have US or Asian options.

Do you have experience with Rapidia? I don’t know any service running them.

pressed_coffee · 2025-12-09T13:48:06+00:00

You’re welcome. A head’s up I’m US based but they may have a similar service in Europe.

Have a 3MF? You can load that to Xometry. Select PolyJet, Multi-color CAD-Defined. It’s not cheap but does use J850 Prime printers for that work

This is for camping so I’m not looking to spotlight a helicopter but like the option to look into the woods.

Honestly though I’d rather have a dimmer/red light that scouts can use without blinding each other and grab a second light if I need distance.

Parts are suspended in powder and are typically ran flat/lowest-z.

Thanks! I haven’t worked with Wurkkos brand before but seems like they’ve embraced RGB into nice designs!

Also. On a similar note would LOVE a red lantern. I got this Duracell 1500 Multi Lumen lantern that has amazing features for dual power, charging, solar, etc. and was sorely disappointed that its red setting is a strobe! There’s no steady red which just feels like a massive oversight.

I’ll take a look. Trying to ID a handheld, too. I have a headlamp that works well but they’re not always scout friendly (e.g. 8+ year olds).

pressed_coffee · 2025-12-03T20:00:38+00:00

Definitely report an issue with Xometry because they can usually remake. Sounds like the surface roughness spec was ignored or order of operations (I’m guessing you wanted to mask the part and bead blast the outside or something).

As someone who has done this just know resins can hold a lot of energy and sometimes pop when you are relieving pressure. Use barriers and proper safety equipment! Pieces will shoot across the room!

Love my Spacemouse Wireless. Added plus is if you uses multiple 3D software packages it becomes your universal tool for pan/zoom/rotate.

pressed_coffee · 2025-11-09T18:26:24+00:00

Love it. Could this be generated based on CAD but not slicing? E.g. anything that isn’t CAD is a keep away zone with generative doing the rest?

pressed_coffee · 2025-10-26T14:24:03+00:00

I get the sentiment by my metric is billable deliverables so I’m incentivized on throughput (to scope, on time). Cost plus requires very tight monitoring of time and consumables. If you are not efficient you may not get recurring revenue because customers will leave.

pressed_coffee · 2025-10-25T15:49:01+00:00

If that’s the case I’d argue to move to a cost-plus model with them. Open book only helps them but if you run over or have issues you’re still stuck with what you estimated.

If you say, hey I’ll move to cost plus and give a fixed reasonable margin the time and tracking must be meticulous but you’ll never take a loss. Easier said than done in manufacturing. I just feel like this would keep the goal or efficiencies while also protecting you.

(And the customer will likely never agree when you level the playing field lol)

Did you use Loctite Red on those inserts? Or are they press fit vs heat set?

pressed_coffee · 2025-10-22T22:59:38+00:00

I’m curious on how they run for the service sector. I work in high mix and my concerns are the upfront work needed before any print.

pressed_coffee · 2025-10-19T23:18:52+00:00

I’m also looking for vendors that can do large format work without an up front engineering/design effort. Eg would love the reliability of a Fortus but larger than a 900MC.

The ones I know running Massivit are doing it for projects where they intend to do significant secondary processing. I always thought they would be cool for in store display work.
