About 3D fab
3D fab is a 3D printing lab from Ticino, run by two engineering students, Joe Küng (computer science) and Matteo Caletti (electrical engineering). The company manufactures custom prototypes, custom-made spare parts and small series of 10 to 500 pieces using the FDM process, from digital file to finished component. The offering includes CAD design and consulting, so parts can also be reproduced without a 3D file based on photos, measurements or sketches. Printing is done in nine plastic variants, including PLA, ASA, PETG, PC, the carbon-fibre-reinforced materials PA12-CF and PET-CF as well as flexible TPU 95A HF, with layer heights from 0.12 to 0.28 mm and nozzles of 0.40 and 0.60 mm. An automatic online calculator based on real slicing data provides instant price and delivery time for STL and 3MF files. Customers are companies, freelancers and makers; production and support take place in Switzerland with locations in Biasca and Biel/Bienne.

Materials & Printing Processes
PLA Basic
Standard material with high printability (index 96), tensile strength 35 MPa and low price per kg.
PLA Matte
Matte PLA variant for components with a matte surface.
PLA Tough+
Tougher PLA variant for parts subject to higher mechanical stress.
ASA
Weather-resistant material with an HDT of 95 °C, the most warp-prone material in the range.
PETG
Tough standard material for functional components.
PC (Polycarbonate)
Rigid, thermally resilient material for technical applications.
PA12-CF
Carbon-fibre-reinforced nylon for rigid, lightweight functional components.
PET-CF
Carbon-fibre-reinforced PET with a tensile strength of 74 MPa and HDT of 205 °C for the highest thermal requirements.
TPU 95A HF
Flexible elastomer for damping and elastic components.
