You know that friend you can always count on? That’s us.
From custom 3D drawings to precision scanning and printing, Pamton 3D makes life easier with our reliable, full-service capabilities.
Our Process
1) It all starts with a brilliant idea.
2) That idea and a basic sketch go to an engineer, who draws it into an STL file.
3) Next, the STL file is sent to your friends at Pamton 3D. If you don’t have an STL file, you can send the idea to us and we can help you put it in 3D.
4) We make a prototype and send it to you for changes or approval.
5) Once approved, we put the project into production and keep you updated on the progress.
6) The items are shipped, and a beautiful working relationship begins.
Ceramic Printing
(SLA - Stereolithography Apparatus)
SLA is a form of 3D printing technology used for creating models, prototypes, patterns, and production parts in a layer by layer fashion using photochemical processes by which light causes chemical monomers to link together to form polymers.
MATERIALS USED
Resins
Porcelite
A photo-curing porcelain ceramic composite resin for SLA/DLP or other 3D printers with a UV light source.
Ferrolite
A photo-curing iron composite resin for use either in green composite state where it is magnetic receptive or sintered to pure iron.
Vitrolite
A photo-curable glass ceramic resin. Low kiln fire for high strength, high density and low porosity. Glassy white surface.
Genesis™ Development Resin Base
For experimental use in developing photo curable resins. Does not 3D print as is but provides a starting point for photopolymer resin research and development incorporating solid powders.
Castalite
A photo-curing ceramic composite resin for SLA/DLP or other 3D printers with a UV light source, formulated for metal casting
Flexalite
A clear flexible polymer resin. The degree of flexibility/rigidity is directly related to the thickness of the design.
Filament Printing
(FDM - Fused Deposition Modeling)
FDM works on an "additive" principle by laying down material in layers; a plastic filament or metal wire is unwound from a coil and supplies material to produce a part. Thus, FDM is also known as a solid-based AM technology
MATERIALS USED
Plastics
Polycarbonate*
This heavy-duty thermoplastic filament is one of the most common 3D printing materials used in the industry. It is recommended for high-strength applications.
PLA
This premium bioplastic product is made from renewable natural resources and is biodegradable. This blend is made with a high-heat, high-impact grade of PLA developed for applications typically used with materials like ABS, while retaining biodegradability.
ABS
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene filament is one of the most common 3D printing materials used in the industry. It is recommended for high-strength applications.
PETG
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol modified filament provides the resilience of ABS with some features of PLA material, allowing for a better 3D print.

Fibers
Nylon Fiber
Carbon Fiber
Elastomerics
Ninja Flex
Dupond
Rubber-like, for a range of applications requiring non-slip or soft surfaces
Additionals
Ceramic
Wax
Metal
PolyJet Printing
PolyJet is a powerful 3D printing technology that produces smooth, accurate parts, as well as prototypes and tooling. With microscopic layer resolution and accuracy down to 0.1 mm, it can produce thin walls and complex geometries using the widest range of materials available with any technology.
SPECS

294 x 192 x 148.6 mm (11.57 x 7.55 x 5.85 in.)
Layer Thickness
16 microns (Accuracy - mm (0.0039 in.) varies depending on geometry, size, orientation, material and post-processing method
Build Resolution
X-axis: 600 dpi; Y-axis: 600 dpi; Z-axis: 1600 dpi
MATERIALS USED
Transparent
(VeroClear) for clear and tinted products with great dimensional stability and surface smoothness
What We Offer
Prototyping
This technology is a cost-effective means for functional prototypes in small business since it's capable of fabricating robust parts accurately and quickly.
Whether you have an invention or just a hobby, we can help! Our prototyping program can assist you in developing your product for the real-world market. We can replicate scale models of nearly anything. Design the project and we will build it.
Lost Wax Technique for Casting
Also called investment casting, this is the process by which a duplicate metal sculpture is cast from an original sculpture. Intricate works can be achieved by this method.
Custom 3D Drawings
We can help you craft the file necessary in order to print your vision
The “tooling” that our process requires is a three-dimensional computer model. This could be a solid model from a CAD package such as Solidworks© or it could be a CT or laser scan of a physical part. If you need assistance in creating any of these models, Pamton has both engineers and designers on staff that can assist you.
Precision 3D Scanning
Pamton 3D offers full-color, high-resolution 3D scanning services that capture the exact contours and dimensions of an object to create a digital model. By reproducing the real-world object, you can modify its design, compare the scan to the original CAD, design form-fitting aftermarket parts, or recreate discontinued parts. You can 3D print and machine your model or convert to parametric CAD with our reverse engineering services.
