Technical Capabilities

Platinum 3D printing refers to high-precision, industrial-grade additive manufacturing processes that deliver superior surface finish, accuracy, and mechanical performance. Below are the technical specifications for four advanced 3D printing technologies—Stereolithography (SLA), Selective Laser Sintering (SLS), Multi Jet Fusion (MJF), and Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS)—with focus on key operational parameters and compatible engineering materials including Aluminum, Steel, ABS-like polymers, and Nylon.

Technology	Process Description	Layer Thickness Range	Typical Accuracy	Surface Finish (Ra)	Build Speed	Common Materials	Key Applications
SLA (Stereolithography)	Photopolymerization using UV laser on liquid resin	25 – 150 µm	±0.1 mm (first 100 mm), ±0.05 mm thereafter	0.8 – 1.6 µm	Moderate	Photopolymers (ABS-like, high-temp, castable, biocompatible)	Prototyping, dental, jewelry, master patterns
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering)	CO₂ laser fuses powdered polymer material	80 – 150 µm	±0.3 mm	8 – 14 µm (as-built)	Fast	Nylon (PA11, PA12), Glass-filled Nylon, TPU	Functional prototypes, end-use parts, complex geometries
MJF (Multi Jet Fusion)	Thermal inkjet array fuses powder layer with heating elements	80 – 120 µm	±0.3 mm	4 – 8 µm (as-built, smoother than SLS)	Very fast	Nylon (PA12), Glass-filled PA12, TPU	High-volume functional parts, jigs, fixtures, enclosures
DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering)	High-power laser sinters metal powder layer by layer	20 – 50 µm	±0.1 mm	10 – 20 µm (as-built), can be polished to <1 µm	Slow	Stainless Steel (17-4 PH, 316L), Aluminum (AlSi10Mg, AlSi7Mg), Titanium (Ti6Al4V), Inconel	Aerospace, medical implants, tooling, high-stress components

Notes:
SLA delivers the highest surface quality among polymer processes, ideal for visual prototypes but limited in mechanical robustness unless using engineering-grade resins.
SLS and MJF are powder-bed fusion techniques for polymers; MJF provides faster throughput and more uniform mechanical properties, while SLS offers broader material flexibility.
DMLS is a metal additive process capable of producing fully dense, complex metal components with material properties approaching those of wrought alloys.
ABS-like materials are typically replicated via high-temp or engineering photopolymers in SLA or through high-performance nylons in SLS/MJF.
Nylon (PA12) is widely used in SLS and MJF due to its strength, flexibility, and chemical resistance.
Aluminum and Steel are accessible only through metal processes like DMLS, enabling lightweight, high-strength components for critical applications.

From CAD to Part: The Process

Honyo Prototype Platinum 3D Printing Process Overview
Honyo’s Platinum 3D Printing service represents our premium additive manufacturing tier, optimized for high-complexity, mission-critical components requiring stringent quality control, accelerated timelines, and advanced material capabilities. The process eliminates traditional quoting bottlenecks through AI-driven automation while maintaining rigorous engineering oversight. Below is the end-to-end workflow.

CAD Upload and Validation
Clients initiate the process by uploading native CAD files (STEP, IGES, Parasolid) via our secure customer portal or API-integrated PLM systems. Our system performs immediate geometric validation, checking for watertightness, manifold errors, and minimum feature compliance per selected material (e.g., 0.4mm for metal DMLS, 0.2mm for high-res resin). Invalid files trigger automated correction suggestions; valid submissions proceed to AI quotation within 90 seconds.

AI-Powered Quotation Engine
Our proprietary AI engine analyzes the validated CAD to generate a binding quote in under 2 minutes. The algorithm evaluates 17 parameters: material density distribution, support structure volume, build orientation optimization, thermal distortion risk, and post-processing requirements. Quotes include granular cost breakdowns (material, machine time, finishing, QA) and predicted lead time. Historical data from 12,000+ builds ensures 95% cost accuracy, with manual engineering review only for geometries exceeding AI confidence thresholds (>98% of quotes require no human intervention).

Engineering-Led DFM Analysis
Approved quotes trigger a mandatory Design for Manufacturability review by our senior AM engineers. This phase focuses on failure prevention:
Structural integrity simulation under operational loads
Support structure minimization using generative algorithms
Critical feature tolerance validation (e.g., ±0.05mm for aerospace fittings)
Surface finish optimization based on functional requirements
Clients receive a DFM report within 48 hours detailing required modifications, with collaborative revision tools embedded in the portal. Zero-cost design iterations are permitted until final sign-off.

Certified Delivery and Traceability
Final parts ship with full material traceability (mill certificates), first-article inspection reports (FAIR), and batch-specific mechanical test data. Critical components include serialized QR codes linking to digital twins showing build parameters and inspection imagery. Standard delivery is 5–7 business days from DFM approval; expedited 72-hour service is available for qualified projects. All shipments include shock-monitoring packaging with real-time GPS tracking for high-value aerospace/medical deliveries.

This integrated workflow reduces traditional AM lead times by 40% while maintaining 99.2% first-pass yield rates across 1,200+ annual production runs. The Platinum tier’s value lies in merging AI efficiency with human engineering expertise for zero-compromise outcomes.
