3D Printed Part/s,  Samples, Colours , Part Scale and Hole Sizes 

1. Production of multiple parts (5 or more, dependant on size) are subject to a sample being approved.Production of large printed parts, where printed in sections, dovetail jointed or similar and then epoxy bonded together are also subject to an sample being approved.

2. The sample will show the finished 3D part which has been created from the CAD file/s from the customer. It is important that you review the sample for accuracy, overall size (scale), hole sizes , fit , form and function & colour. 

3. It is the responsibility of each customer prior to approving the sample for actual production to make sure they are happy to proceed.

4. If a sample is to be sent out it will be listed in the quotation.

5. Torus Engineering Solutions Ltd will agree the colours to be used in the 3D printing process with the customer before final manufacture.

6. Once approval has been given, final manufacture of the parts can be undertaken.

7. Please note with regards to the amount of infill requested in parts.

• 0% is generally equivalent to no infill and 100% is equivalent to a solid print.

  Infill density can also effect a print’s strength, bouyancy, and material used.

• A higher infill density makes for a heavier, more solid print. In contrast, a lower infill density would provide a simpler, more lightweight result. Common infill densities are between 20% and 25%. This offers a nice balance between durability and material consumption.

• If structure isn’t a concern but cost is, the best infill range is between 10% and 15%.

• If structure is a concern, and filament usage isn’t (cost), the best range is somewhere between 30% and 50%.

• Lastly, if you’re going for strength, as with a functional part, feel free to go right up to 100%.

   

Order Placement 

1. Orders can be placed by email to info@torus-engineering-solutions.co.uk. If an order is placed over the telephone, it must be confirmed by a confirmation email.
