Powder-based 3D printing is an additive manufacturing method that uses raw material in powder form. This is in contrast to the filament materials used in other, more common 3D printing techniques. The powder material, in this case, can be either metal or plastic.
Compared to other 3D printing methods for plastics, a powder-based method is easily one of the most versatile. There is a wide variety of plastic materials that can be made into powder including silicates or polystyrene, which are generally not available in filament form. Since plastic does not require a lot of energy to melt, the 3D printing technology for plastic powder does not need as much diversity.
Metal powders are metals that are reduced to fine particles and are the preliminary base materials for most 3D printing processes that produce metallic parts. 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), is the manufacturing of parts and products in a layer-by-layer fashion. Both the characteristics of the metal powder and the type of the 3D printing process determine the properties of the end product
THINKFAB is a sister brand of THINK3D, one of India’s largest integrated digital manufacturing service providers. At THINK3D we provide 3D Printing, 3D Scanning, 3D Designing, CNC Machining, Vacuum Casting, Injection Molding services all under one roof. With our deep expertise in both traditional and additive manufacturing technologies, we can thoroughly the customer requirement and accordingly recommend the best hardware to suit the requirement. Most expensive or most visible mayn’t be the best one for the customer. This is where we come into picture. We know manufacturing technologies in & out and can provide honest feedback to our customers.
Think3D has been a great partner for us in supplying COVID-19 test cartridges on-time despite the pandemic challenges. When we came up with a new requirement needing a workforce of more than 25 people, think3D took up the challenge and arranged the workforce within 2 days. I highly recommend think3D for any manufacturing needs.

We found issue with one part at the time of assembly and needed a quick replacement. think3D team has quickly responded to our request, redesigned the part and printed it using metal 3D Printing and delivered in 3 days time. The part came out really well and the design was better than that of the actual one.
