Everything you need to know about professional 3D printing services: technologies, materials, costs and how to prepare your files.
FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling): extrusion of plastic filament layer by layer. Ideal for functional prototypes, large parts and low-cost production. Available materials: PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU and many others.
SLA (Stereolithography): curing of liquid resin using a UV laser. Produces smooth surfaces, very fine details and tight tolerances. Perfect for jewellery, architectural models, optical components and silicone moulds.
At Makehasdai we use both technologies and guide you in choosing the best option for your specific project.
The cost depends on: technology chosen, material, part volume, surface finish and quantity. Indicative pricing:
• FDM: from €5–15 for small parts in PLA/PETG • SLA / resin: from €15–40 for parts with fine details • SLS (nylon): from €30–80 for functional and robust parts

The most commonly used materials in professional 3D printing services are:
• PLA – easy to print, ideal for aesthetic prototypes • PETG – moisture resistant, suitable for food-safe applications • ABS – high impact and temperature resistance • TPU – flexible, perfect for seals, cases and grips • Nylon (SLS) – high mechanical strength for functional components • Resins (SLA) – extreme detail and smooth surfaces • Carbon fibre – lightness and rigidity for advanced applications
The Makehasdai team selects the optimal material for each application, both aesthetic and functional.
Makehasdai offers professional 3D printing services with shipping throughout Italy. You can send your 3D model (STL, STEP, OBJ) directly online and receive the prototype at home or at your company in 2–5 working days.
We work with startups, SMEs, design studios and freelancers looking for professional quality without having to buy or manage their own machinery.
The recommended format is STL or STEP. Before sending your file, check that the model is:
• Watertight (no holes or open geometry) • With minimum wall thicknesses respected (≥1 mm for FDM, ≥0.5 mm for SLA) • Saved in the correct units (millimetres) • Free of duplicate surfaces or inverted normals
Don't have a 3D file yet? Our modelling team can create the model starting from a technical drawing, a photo or even just a product description.
3D printing is the better choice when:
• You need 1–50 parts (small batch or prototype) • The product has complex geometries difficult to mill or injection mould • You want to iterate the design quickly without tooling costs • Time-to-market is a priority over unit cost
For production runs of hundreds of parts or more, injection moulding becomes more competitive. Makehasdai helps you choose the most suitable technology for the phase of your project.
