FAQs
-
We have tested a wide variety of fabrics, and 3D printing works with almost any type as long as it has a flat surface and sufficient water intake capacity. Successfully tested materials include cotton, linen, polyester, silk, wool felt, and more—offering endless possibilities for you to explore!
-
Size Limitation: The effective printing area is 460 mm x 360 mm x 50 mm.
Fabric Limitation: While most fabrics with a flat surface and water intake capacity are compatible, certain materials may require additional testing to ensure they meet adhesion standards.
-
3D File Design: 3-5 working days per design.
Initial Fabric 3D Printing Sample: 3-5 working days.
Production Time: Depends on the quantity of your order.
-
We have no limitations on minimum order quantity (MOQ). However, the cost per unit for smaller orders will be higher. Discounts are applied based on the quantity of your order, with larger orders benefiting from lower rates.

Our 3D-printed textile has successfully passed laundering and color durability tests, meeting the ISO 105-B02 and ISO 105-C06 standards. The results are as follows:
Washing Durability (ISO 105 C06 A2S):
At 40°C: Rated 5 across all materials (100% Cotton, 100% Polyester, 50/50 Cotton Polyester, Linen).
At 60°C: Rated 5 across all materials (100% Cotton, 100% Polyester, 50/50 Cotton Polyester, Linen).
Light Fastness (Xenon Test - ISO 105-B02):
Rated 7-8 for all materials, ensuring excellent color retention under light exposure.
This confirms our textile's high durability and suitability for various fabric compositions.

Our Stratasys J850 Full-Color PolyJet 3D printer can produce up to 3,000 colors. You can also provide us with a Pantone color card, and we will match the exact color you need for your design.
-
We use a range of advanced materials tailored for specific applications, including:
VeroVivid: A rigid photopolymer available in nearly 2,000 Pantone colors.
VeroUltraClear: A transparent material ideal for creating realistic prototypes.
Agilus30 Colors: A flexible, rubber-like material perfect for multi-color 3D printing.
VeroUltra: A material with excellent opacity and color uniformity.
Digital ABS Plus: Designed to simulate standard ABS plastics, offering strength and durability.
DraftGrey: A cost-effective material suited for concept modeling.
-
Yes, we provide an eco-friendly solution with VeroEco Flex, a semi-flexible material specifically designed for direct-to-textile 3D printing. This material is durable, flexible, and available in vivid colors. It is also more sustainable, helping to reduce environmental impact while delivering exceptional performance and quality.
-
File Preparation:
All 3D files must be aligned to a flat surface and include a UV map.
The 3D file should be UV unwrapped, and the color information needs to be exported as a texture map.
Precision and Unit Size:
Our printing precision allows for details as small as 0.2 mm. However, we recommend that each unit size be at least 2 mm x 2 mm to ensure strong adhesion to the base fabric.
Size Limitation:
The maximum print size for each fabric piece is 460 mm x 360 mm x 50 mm.
For more details and examples of compatible 3D files, please contac us via email.
-
To produce a multi-material print (color and clear), you need to create separate layers in your 3D file. This allows the software to assign different materials to each layer—one for color and another for transparency. Make sure each material is properly defined and separated to ensure a seamless multi-material print.

Our starting price is £100 per piece for fabric sizes up to 460 mm x 360 mm x 50 mm. The final cost may vary depending on your design. We calculate pricing based on the weight of the material used, with denser and thicker designs resulting in a higher cost. The more complex and material-heavy your design, the more expensive it will be. Please contact us for a detailed quote based on your specific requirements.
