3D Printing Technologies

At ARC 3D, we are able to utilize a variety of successful 3D printing technologies that can be adapted for different projects that we undertake. Each of these has a specific function that helps us to achieve the exact end result that we need.

We work with:

SLA

SLA – Stereolithography

SLA is one of the most precise and well-established 3D printing technologies. It uses a UV laser to solidify liquid resin layer by layer, producing highly detailed parts with smooth, clean surfaces and excellent accuracy.
FDM

FDM – Fused Deposition Modeling

FDM is one of the most commonly used 3D printing methods. It builds parts by melting and depositing thermoplastic filament layer by layer, creating strong, durable components that are ideal for both prototypes and functional applications.
SLS

SLS – Selective Laser Sintering

SLS uses a powerful laser to fuse powdered material, typically nylon, into solid parts. Since it doesn’t require support structures, it allows highly complex shapes and even moving components to be printed in one piece.

Custom 3D Printing Solutions

At ARC 3D, all projects go through a systematic process for completion. After getting hold of a 3D model or project, our team checks its appropriateness for the printing phase. The file is then processed by using high-end software to ensure that the output contains the right amount of strength, details, and finish.

Printing is done through proper use of technology based on the project target. After the production process, the parts are subjected to cleaning, finishing, where applicable, followed by the conduct of thorough quality checks to evaluate accuracy. The produced output is therefore ready for use, presentation, or further processing.

Why Choose Arc 3D?

At ARC 3D, we provide a comprehensive and trustworthy 3D printing service with various technologies and materials for the UAE market. It is not only our business to print, but to guide clients toward the most suitable solution for their project.

Our team is actively collaborating with clients from the onset to completion, and this is accomplished while keeping everything transparent, communicating openly, and having realistic project timelines. Quality control is also carried out at each stage to ensure a final output that is not compromised on, and this is why a high number of clients have continued to work with ARC 3D for their projects.

FAQs: 3D Printing Services

What is additive manufacturing and how does 3D printing work?

Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, is a process where an object is created layer by layer from a digital design. Instead of cutting or shaping material, the printer builds the model gradually, allowing complex forms, fine details, and accurate dimensions. At ARC 3D, this method helps us turn digital concepts into precise physical models efficiently.
3D printing is widely used across architecture, real estate, product design, engineering, education, retail, and manufacturing. ARC 3D supports all these industries by producing architectural scale models, display models, prototypes, and functional components that help visualize, test, and present ideas more clearly.
The cost depends on factors such as the size of the model, level of detail, type of material used, finishing requirements, and the number of pieces needed. At ARC 3D, we always aim to provide the most practical and cost-effective solution based on your project goals.
Yes. Many functional parts can be 3D printed depending on the purpose and material. Arc3D produces parts for testing, fitting, demonstrations, and light-use applications, helping clients evaluate designs before moving to full production.
Yes. Rapid prototyping is one of ARC 3D’s key services. It allows designers, architects, and businesses to quickly turn ideas into physical models for review, testing, and client presentations, saving time and reducing design risks.
The time depends on the size, complexity, and finishing required. Simple models can be completed quickly, while larger or more detailed projects take longer. ARC 3D focuses on delivering each project efficiently without compromising accuracy or quality.
ARC 3D combines skilled design understanding, professional printing systems, and consistent quality control. We don’t just print, we make sure every model serves its purpose, whether it’s for presentation, testing, or real-world use.
ARC 3D combines advanced 3D printing technology with skilled design and production teams to deliver accurate, high-quality results. With a streamlined in-house process and strong focus on detail, we ensure every project is completed on time and to professional standards.
