Frequently Asked Questions
What makes ARC Studio's 3D printing service suitable for medical and clinical applications?
Our medical-grade 3D printing is delivered using the Formlabs 4B+ SLA printer, which is designed specifically for clinical, dental, and wearable applications. It supports biocompatible, skin-safe, and sterilisation-ready resins, making it ideal for producing parts that may come into contact with patients or be used in real-world testing environments.
How detailed and accurate are the parts produced by your medical-grade printer?
We can print at resolutions as fine as 25 microns, offering exceptional surface finish and detail accuracy. This high fidelity is particularly useful when producing ergonomic devices, housing components that resemble injection moulded parts, or trial units intended for stakeholder demonstrations and user feedback.
Can I use medical-grade 3D prints for prototyping wearable or implantable devices?
Yes, our printing process is well-suited for early-stage wearable device development, including components that contact skin. While not intended for long-term implantables, the parts are ideal for iterative testing, ergonomic assessments, and stakeholder demonstrations — especially where realism and material safety are key.
Do you offer post-processing and finishing options for medical-grade 3D printed parts?
We do. Post-processing options include washing, curing, sanding, and coating to achieve the desired finish and functionality. Whether you need a smooth surface, colour matching, or a matte or gloss appearance, we can tailor the final result to suit clinical presentation, usability trials, or design validation.
