3D Print Service

3D Printing @ TORUS

What we do :

We can help you turn your designs into reality and produce solutions to your problems in a very short space of time.

The results are endless..

Conventional tooling and moulding can be expensive, especially when all you require is a prototype or a quick test part to see if it works.

Here at Torus we have made it simple for you and for us.

You can either send over you're parts for quotation or we can help you with your designs and ideas. For a piece of mind we will be happy to sign Non Disclosure Agreements on your design projects.

How 3D Printing works @ Torus:

3 Easy Steps:

Send over your design data (Stl, Iges, Step)
We supply a quote
Once you're happy, We print and ship to you!

This service is available to everybody, we supply to businesses, individuals, Schools and Colleges anyone who can benefit from 3D printing.

What Print materials we can offer:

PLA, ABS, CPE, CPE+, PC, Nylon, TPU 95A

PLA

Fast, safe and reliable printing

The PLA we use is made from organic and renewable sources. It’s safe, easy to print with and it serves a wide range of applications. It is the preferred choice for primary and secondary schools because it’s safe and easy to print with.

Good tensile strength
Good surface quality
Easy to work with at high print speeds
User-friendly for both home and office environments
Allows the creation of high-resolution parts
Ideal for models and prototypes that require aesthetic detail
A wide range of colour options available- Please state preference

ABS

Tough and durable

ABS is used to print functional prototypes in automotive companies due to its high strength and durability.

Excellent mechanical properties
Excellent interlayer adhesion, especially when using the front door add-on
Withstands temperatures up to 85 ºC
Great for exceptionally strong prototypes or end-use parts
Allows to achieve nicer aesthetics compared to other ABS filaments
Formulated for an easy 3D printing experience with minimal warping and good bed adhesion
A wide range of colour options available- Please state preference

CPE

Chemical resistant and tough

Product designers use CPE to make extremely tough and dimensionally stable functional prototypes.

Excellent chemical resistance
Excellent toughness and dimensional stability
Good interlayer adhesion, especially when using the front door add-on
Low levels of ultrafine particles (UFPs) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
Ideal for short run manufacturing and functional prototypes
Transparent option available

Strong, tough, and heat resistant

PC is a top choice material for engineers and manufacturers who require parts that need to retain its strength, toughness and shape while operating in high-temperature environments. The PC option we use is a perfect filament for printing moulds, tools, functional prototypes and parts for short-run manufacturing.

High toughness, especially for the non-transparent filament options
Resists temperatures and retains form up to 110 ºC
Flame retardant characteristics
Dimensionally stable
Strong interlayer bonding capabilities, especially when using the front door add-on
Good bed adhesion, especially when using the stickers supplied in the Advanced 3D Printing Kit
Allows printing of translucent parts for lighting applications with a transparent filament option

Nylon

Abrasion-resistant and durable

From toys to aerospace components, Nylon is embraced by engineers and manufacturers worldwide for an array of applications that require impact and abrasion resistance.
