With total control over the layer heights, we can adjust these to balance print speed with visual quality. For example, this allows us to generate a number of prototype variations quickly, followed by a higher quality \u201cfinal\u201d prototype. We can also incrementally adjust the level of internal \u201cfill\u201d either to create solid parts, or ones with a lightweight internal honeycomb matrix \u2013 which results in components with a lower weight but comparable stiffness to a solid part.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module plain text -->\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .tb-column-inner -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .module_column -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .subrow_inner -->\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .themify_builder_sub_row -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .tb-column-inner -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .module_column -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .row_inner -->\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .module_row -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<!-- module_row -->\n\t\t<div  data-css_id=\"0xdb834\" data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_row themify_builder_row split-block container fullwidth tb_0xdb834 tf_w tf_clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row_inner col_align_middle tb_col_count_2 tf_box tf_rel\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col2-1 tb_j97h842 split-left first\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .module_column -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<div  data-lazy=\"1\" class=\"module_column tb-column col2-1 tb_uo55842 split-right last\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tb-column-inner tf_box tf_w\">\n\t\t\t\t<!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_shzq842 split-right-title  \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p><span style=\"color: var(--red);\">Working for you<\/span><\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module text -->\n<div  class=\"module module-text tb_vr84842 split-right-text  \" data-lazy=\"1\">\n        <div  class=\"tb_text_wrap\">\n    <p>Cheshire Seals &amp; Components can either work with your existing 3D files (a wide range of formats can be accepted) or alternatively we can create the 3D geometry on your behalf, using your supplied drawings or sketches.<\/p><p>Please contact us for a competitive quote for your next project, and to hear about the range of materials we can offer \u2013 including ABS, Nylon, PLA, Polycarbonate, Polypropylene, along with many more.<\/p>    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module text --><!-- module buttons -->\n<div  class=\"module module-buttons tb_oo5y843 buttons-horizontal solid fifty-text-button\" data-lazy=\"1\">\n\t\t<div class=\"module-buttons-item tf_inline_b\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/contact-us\/\" class=\"ui builder_button tb_default_color\" >\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"tf_inline_b tf_vmiddle\">Contact Us<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<em class=\"tf_inline_b tf_vmiddle\"><svg  class=\"tf_fa tf-ti-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use href=\"#tf-ti-angle-right\"><\/use><\/svg><\/em>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<!-- \/module buttons -->\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .tb-column-inner -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .module_column -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- .row_inner -->\n\t\t<\/div><!-- .module_row -->\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3D Printing Following a successful introductory programme, we are now able to offer our customers a 3D component printing service, using our professional-quality in-house dual-extrusion fused filament fabrication (FFF) printer.
