About Advanced 3D Prints

Terrapin Works' Advanced Fabrication Lab is home to flagship 3D printing services ranging from high-end consumer grade to industrial grade printers.  Advanced 3D Prints are offered on a variety of 3D printers with differing materials and fabrication technologies. Technologies available are: FDM, SLA, PolyJet, and Metal 3D printing. Resolutions of printers range from 127 microns to 16 microns.

Who are Advanced 3D Prints for?

We recommend Advanced 3D Prints to anyone who is already familiar with 3D printing and looking for print resolution that is higher than our Basic 3D Printing service,  a selection of engineering materials, or specific 3D printing methods.
