3D Printing Process
From a 3D model to a finished part in your hands — here is how IndiPCB turns your STL into a printed enclosure, jig or prototype using FDM 3D printing. Need a circuit board instead? See our PCB manufacturing process.
FDM 3D Printing
- 1
Upload & model review
Upload your STL, OBJ or 3MF model. We review it for printability — watertight geometry, minimum wall thickness and feature size — and flag anything that needs a tweak before printing.
- 2
Material & colour selection
Choose your material (PLA, PETG, ABS and more) and colour to suit your part — strength, temperature resistance, finish and budget.
- 3
Slicing & print preparation
The model is oriented for strength and surface quality, then sliced — setting layer height, infill density, wall count and support structures for a reliable print.
- 4
FDM printing
Your part is printed layer by layer on a calibrated FDM machine, with the molten filament deposited precisely to build up the geometry.
- 5
Support removal
Support structures and rafts are carefully removed, leaving the part clean and ready for finishing.
- 6
Post-processing (optional)
Optional finishing — sanding, trimming or smoothing — for a cleaner surface where your application needs it.
- 7
Quality inspection
The print is checked against your model for dimensional accuracy, layer adhesion and surface quality.
- 8
Packaging & dispatch
The finished part is securely packed and shipped to your door, anywhere in India and worldwide.
Not every step applies to every part — simple models skip post-processing. Have a question about materials or finishes? Read the production & assembly FAQ or get in touch.
