Custom FDM, SLS, and SLA 3D printing for prototypes, functional components, jigs and fixtures, visual models, and end-use parts. 3DRM Tech helps engineers, product teams, manufacturers, startups, and robotics companies move from CAD to finished parts from our Montreal facility.
3DRM Tech provides professional 3D printing services in Montreal using FDM, SLS, and SLA. Each process solves a different manufacturing problem: FDM is practical and cost-effective for strong engineering parts, SLS creates durable nylon components with complex geometry, and SLA delivers high detail with smooth resin surfaces.
Send us a production-ready file or start earlier in the process. If your part still needs to be modeled, our CAD design service can turn a sketch, reference, scan, or specification into a print-ready 3D model. For urgent development work, our rapid prototyping service combines fast iteration with the right printing process for the application.
Choosing the right additive manufacturing process affects cost, strength, surface finish, geometry, and lead time. We select the process around the part, not the other way around.
A versatile thermoplastic 3D printing process for strong, practical, and cost-effective engineering components. FDM is well suited to functional prototypes, brackets, housings, fixtures, and many end-use applications.
Functional prototypes, structural brackets, enclosures, jigs, fixtures and practical end-use parts.
SLS fuses nylon powder into durable parts without conventional support structures. It is a strong option for complex geometry, thin walls, snap-fit features, living hinges, and shapes that are difficult to produce efficiently with FDM.
Complex mechanical components, durable nylon parts, snap-fit assemblies and flexible geometries.
SLA is a resin-based 3D printing process chosen when visual quality, fine features, dimensional detail, and smooth surfaces matter. It is especially useful for presentation models, detailed enclosures, master patterns, and parts that will be finished or painted.
Visual prototypes, detailed models, master patterns, smooth surfaces and fine-feature components.
This quick comparison helps narrow down the right process. Final recommendations depend on geometry, strength, finish, operating environment, quantity, and budget.
| Requirement | FDM | SLS | SLA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary strength | Cost-effective functional parts | Durable complex nylon geometry | Fine detail and smooth surface finish |
| Common applications | Brackets, fixtures, enclosures, engineering prototypes | Mechanical parts, snap fits, complex assemblies | Visual models, master patterns, detailed enclosures |
| Typical material family | Thermoplastic filament | Nylon powder | Photopolymer resin |
| Surface appearance | Visible layer texture | Uniform powder-based surface | Smoothest, highest visual detail |
| Geometry | Strong general-purpose option | Excellent for complex shapes without conventional supports | Excellent for small features and detailed surfaces |
Still unsure? Send your CAD file and the part requirements. 3DRM Tech reviews the application and recommends the most practical 3D printing process rather than expecting you to choose the technology first.
Get Process Advice →Material selection can be just as important as the printing process. Tell us about mechanical load, flexibility, temperature, outdoor exposure, appearance, and how many parts you need. We will narrow down the practical options.
Discuss Material Options →Common engineering and prototyping materials offered for FDM printing.
Durable powder-based nylon printing for complex mechanical geometry, functional components, snap fits, and production-oriented parts.
Resin printing for detailed prototypes, fine features, smooth visual surfaces, master patterns, and models that require finishing or painting.
Professional 3D printing is useful well beyond visual models. We support product development and industrial applications where speed, customization, and complex geometry can reduce development time or simplify manufacturing.
Test fit, form, assembly, ergonomics, and basic function before committing to production tooling.
Custom manufacturing aids, positioning fixtures, assembly tools, and shop-floor components.
Custom housings, mounts, covers, brackets, and hardware interfaces built around your application.
Low-volume functional components when additive manufacturing is more practical than conventional tooling.
SLS is especially useful for complex geometry, thin features, snap fits, and parts difficult to support with FDM.
SLA printing provides the fine detail and smooth finish needed for visual prototypes and presentation pieces.
Detailed printed masters for downstream finishing, molding, casting, or other production workflows.
Once a design is validated, repeat FDM or SLS runs can support low-volume production and ongoing reorders.
Our additive manufacturing capabilities support organizations that need prototypes, custom components, tooling, replacement parts, or low-volume production.
A simple workflow keeps technical decisions clear and gives you one point of contact from file review through manufacturing.
Upload a CAD model, sketch, reference, scan, or project description. If no CAD exists yet, we can help create it.
We review geometry, material needs, finish, quantity, and use case, then recommend FDM, SLS, SLA, or another manufacturing route.
Your part is manufactured using the selected process and checked against the project requirements before release.
Receive your parts and keep the project moving. Validated designs can transition into repeat or low-volume production runs.
The right result starts before the machine runs. Our value is in helping select the right process, identifying manufacturability issues, and keeping the path from prototype to repeat production connected.
Talk About Your Part →We offer FDM, SLS, and SLA 3D printing. These processes cover cost-effective thermoplastic parts, durable complex nylon components, and high-detail resin models.
FDM is a practical choice for strong, cost-effective functional parts. SLS is excellent for durable nylon parts and complex geometry without conventional supports. SLA is preferred for fine detail and smooth visual surfaces.
Current FDM material options include PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, Nylon, and TPU. Material selection should be based on the part’s mechanical, environmental, finish, and flexibility requirements.
Yes. Our CAD design service can turn a sketch, specification, photo, scan, or physical reference into a print-ready model.
Most FDM and SLA parts typically ship within 3–5 business days. SLS runs are quoted individually, and rush options may be available depending on the project.
3DRM Tech aims to recommend the process and provide a clear quote within 24 hours after receiving enough information about the part and application.
There is no minimum part quantity. We can manufacture a single prototype or repeat batches. Please note that 3DRM Tech currently has a $500 minimum overall project value.
Yes. FDM and SLS can be used for functional end-use components when the application and material are suitable. Validated parts can also move into our low-volume production service.
3DRM Tech is located at 1640 St Clare Rd, Mount Royal, Quebec H3R 2P1. Contact the team before visiting to confirm project and pickup arrangements.
Send the best CAD or 3D file you currently have along with quantity, intended use, material needs, finish expectations, and any critical dimensions. If your file is not production-ready, we can advise on the next step.
Send the file, quantity, and what the part needs to do. We will recommend the most suitable manufacturing process and provide a clear quote. Projects are subject to a $500 minimum project value.
