How to Work with with us
1. Get a Quotation
You concentrate on your research, we do the rest.
Our goal is to keep the process of ordering 3D Printed parts as simple as possible.
We provide all the know-how for you.
There are basicly 4 scenarios for a quotation request
If you know what material and technology you want, simply send the the data via email or use one of the transfer options listet here.
Please include Number of copies, material and Printing technology.
If you are not sure what material or technology to use, send the data and quickly describe the intended use of the part.
We will choose the correct technology and material for you.
Please include any special requirement of the parts e. g. tolerance, surface quality, Biocompatible, heat resistance, mechanical strength or sterilizability if important.
You have the part in mind or an original part that needs to be reproduced but lack the skill to produce the 3D Model?
Simply send a sketch or explanation of the part and we will do the rest.
It’s of benefit to include some sketches or pictures. We will contact you in a timely matter to get all the information we need and generate the part for you.
We are also able to 3D Scan existing parts and reproduce them.
Send us an email where you quickly (in 2 or 3 sentences) describe your idea or concept.
We will get in touch with you and work with you on the solution.
If you have a problem or challenge in your research and do not know if it can be solved with 3D printing, simply send us an Inquiry.
Explain your problem / challenge and include any special requirements.
Best is to summarize the problem in a view short sentences and provide some pictures.
Also its helpful to describe the “perfect solution” for you.
Not how it should be solved but what a solution should archive.
2. We provide you with our know-how
We've got you covered.
No prior 3D printing knowledge is necessary; that's why we're here. We'll supply all the information you require and offer consultations on technology and materials. This consultation service is complimentary because it's a crucial aspect of delivering a comprehensive 3D printing service.
3. Billing
We provide flexible billing options tailored to your preferences and location.
If you're engaged in a research project with the Department of Biomedical Engineering, we'll furnish you with an internal revenue form. This form serves as an internal mechanism within the university's finance department. The project lead simply approves the price, and from there, the university's finance department handles the rest. There's no need for money transfers or bill payments; the expenses will be automatically deducted from your project's budget.
We issue you a detailed bill that includes VAT and lists all the services provided. You can then submit this bill to your project manager. Alternatively, if it's a private print, you can settle the bill yourself within 14 days.
