How We Print
(The Tools Behind Your Ideas)
At Tidewater 3D, we use a mixture of FDM and Resin 3D Printers to bring your ideas to life, whether you need durable mechanical parts or finely detailed miniatures.
FDM Printing
(Fused Deposition Modelling)
Great For: Larger prints, functional prototypes, enclosures, and replacement components.
- Prints in strong, affordable plastics like PLA, PETG, and ABS
- Ideal for cost-effective, fast turnaround jobs.
- Available in a wide range of colours and finishes.
Resin Printing
(SLA)
Great For: High-detail miniatures, organic shapes, and smooth-surfaced prototypes
- Ultra-fine detail and smooth finish
- Ideal for tabletop gaming, cosplay props, or intricate design elements
- Cured for a hard finish
Material We Use
We offer a curated range of FDM filaments and resin, because the right material makes all the difference.
- PLA: Affordable, rigid, great for general prints
- PETG: Flexible, stronger, suitable for mechanical parts
- ABS: Heat-resistant, best for rugged use
- Resin: Crisp detail for miniatures, durable for functional prototypes
Not sure which one your project will need? That’s fine, we’re here to guide and advise you on the best material choice.
