FFF 3D Printer Service
We utilize our FFF 3D printer service that is capable of adding internal fiber reinforcement to the parts during the printing process. Adding fiber reinforcement will dramatically increase the strength of the parts and depending on the design of the part, can even make them stronger than standard aluminum.
FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D printers use a nozzle to extrude molten plastic onto the 3D printer’s platform. The computer with the coordinates coming from the software controls the nozzle. The quality of plastic is very important as well. 3D printers use thermoplastic to build the objects.

Material
Our current material options for our FFF 3D printing service include:
- ABS
- HIPS
- PLA
- ULTRAT
- PET-G
Post-Processing
Once the object is completely printed, it must go through a post-processing. The process can vary depending on the project. FFF 3D printers require support structures to facilitate 3D printing’s more complex geometries and their removal represents the last step in post-processing. Depending on the extruder type, the object will either have soluble or insoluble support.
FFF 3D Printer Support Removal
Insoluble Support
The main material of the 3D object is also in the insoluble supports. FFF 3D printers with a single extruder are the only ones that can use this support. The printer prints the supports from the same filament. Depending on the position of the supports, removing these can be difficult.
Soluble Support
HIPS and PVA most commonly make up soluble supports. ABS uses HIPS, while PLA works with PVA. HIPS dissolves in D-limonene, while PVA dissolves in water. Soluble supports are easily removed by simply soaking the object in water or other liquids. This makes the post-processing very easy.

Information
At PartsBadger, not all of the services we offer relate to a order. We know there is a lot of information out there and a lot of it is helpful. It is part of our mission to make sure the most helpful information is available to our customers. This is why we have compiled the key information about the CNC process, materials, and finishes.
Not sure what material you need? Or maybe you’re not sure what part category your project would fall into? We want to offer the information that will make your project right. So if you do run in to a issue or a question feel free to contact us.
Precision, Quality and Affordability at any volume
In addition to Urethane Casting, our Modern CNC machines can handle small radius cuts and maintain a high quality level whether you want one piece or one hundred. Chamfered edges, multi radius curves, and tapped holes are a few things that make machining a part more workable for any projects. We take pride in making quality, custom, low cost, cast and machined parts.
