Guide
Your Complete 3D Printing Guide
This 3D printing guide covers everything needed to successfully order manufacturing-ready parts from Dwart Industries — from selecting the right material and print settings to designing your file correctly for FDM or SLA manufacturing. Whether you're a first-time user or an experienced engineer, use the three guides below before uploading your model. Learn more about how 3D printing technology works or explore FDM manufacturing in detail.
3 Guides — Design, Settings & Materials
Three reference guides covering every critical decision in the additive manufacturing process. Read these before uploading your first file to avoid common failures and get the best result from every part.
Design Guide
Design for Manufacturing — DFM Rules for FDM & SLA
Check your 3D model geometry against these rules before uploading. Covers minimum wall thickness, overhang angles, bridge spans, hole diameters, text size, thread specifications, moving-part clearances, and dimensional tolerances — with separate specifications for FDM and SLA manufacturing.
Settings Guide
Print Settings — Layer Height & Infill for FDM & SLA
Choose the right layer height (0.05 mm to 0.24 mm for FDM, 0.05 mm to 0.2 mm for SLA) and infill density for your application. Includes visual layer comparisons at every height and infill level, with use-case recommendations so you can configure your order with confidence.
Material Guide
Material Guide — 13 FDM & SLA Manufacturing Materials
Compare all 13 production-ready materials by tensile strength, heat deflection temperature, density, and application. Covers 10 FDM thermoplastics — from PLA and PETG to PA6-CF carbon fibre nylon at 164°C HDT — and 3 SLA photopolymers including Clear Resin for optical applications.
How to Place a 3D Manufacturing Order
From file upload to delivery in four steps — no manual quotation, no waiting. Watch the ordering walkthrough or follow the steps alongside.
Upload Your 3D Model
Upload STL, OBJ, STP, STEP, IGS, or IGES files through our secure platform. All files are handled with full confidentiality.
Configure Material & Settings
Select from 18 production-ready materials, choose layer height, infill density, and colour. Use the Print Settings Assistant on the product page for guided recommendations.

Get your price and delivery estimate immediately — no manual quotes, no emails. Minimum order value ₹499. Free shipping on orders above ₹999.
We Manufacture & Ship
Every part is quality-inspected before dispatch. Real-time tracking via Bluedart or Delhivery. Parts delivered across India in 2–6 business days.
FDM vs SLA — Choose Your Manufacturing Technology
Both technologies are available at Dwart Industries. FDM is best for functional engineering parts; SLA is best for fine-detail, smooth-surface applications.
FDM · Fused Deposition Modeling
FDM — Plastic Additive Manufacturing
Best for functional engineering parts, structural components, large volumes, and cost-effective manufacturing. 10 thermoplastics including high-temperature and flexible materials.
SLA · Stereolithography
SLA — Resin Additive Manufacturing
Best for ultra-fine detail, near-invisible layer lines, and smooth surfaces. Ideal for display prototypes, precision enclosures, and optical parts requiring transparent Clear Resin.
Engineering Support at Every Stage
Our team reviews every order before manufacturing begins. If there's a printability issue, we'll contact you before starting.
File Analysis
Engineers review every STL for non-manifold geometry, wall thickness issues, and scale problems before manufacturing.
Clear Production Timeline
Accurate production time estimates at checkout based on your part's geometry, material, and current production queue.
Quality Inspection
Every manufactured part is visually inspected before dispatch. Parts that don't meet spec are reprinted at no extra charge.
