To maintain quality parts – all SLA and ProJet parts should be kept free from exposure to UV light and sources of heat. Any claim of nonconformance will be judged using a “Fit for purpose” methodology – no liability will be accepted for out-of-spec tolerances on noncritical areas not affecting the overall design intent. Non-conforming parts must be returned before replacements are supplied.

Formero will not be liable in respect to the misuse of parts. Formero should be notified of the intended use of all parts, as inappropriate use may expose operators to serious risk. Formero reserves the right to modify pricing without notifying the customer.

In no event shall the liability and/or obligations of Formero arising out of the purchase of products by you or others exceed the purchase price of the products.

3D Printing/Additive Manufacturing Services

CAD: Customers to provide acceptable 3D CAD in (IGES, STEP, PARASOLID or native SOLIDWORKS) along with 2D drawings.

SLA/DLP: Features less than 0.5mm thick are not guaranteed – all care is taken to ensure feature detail; ultimate responsibility lies with the customer however to ensure that all features are 0.5mm or greater. A general wall thickness of 1.0mm is recommended. Expected tolerances are +/- 0.10 mm per 100mm.

SLS: Features less than 0.8mm thick are not guaranteed – all care is taken to ensure feature detail; ultimate responsibility lies with the customer however to ensure that all features are 0.8mm or greater. A general wall thickness of 1.0mm is also recommended. Expected tolerances are +/- 0.25 mm per 100mm.

ColorJet prints: Should be treated as visualisation models only. Coloured STL files to be supplied in VRML format. Texture images to be supplied separately in JPG, BMP or PNG formats. Features less than 1.5mm thick are not guaranteed – all care is taken to ensure feature detail; ultimate responsibility lies with the customer. All freestanding and general wall thickness of 2.5mm is also recommended.

Multi Jet Fusion: Unless critical dimensions are specified, only bounding box dimensions of parts will be measured. The tolerance of multi jet fusion 3D printing is as printed +/- 0.3 mm/100mm and +/- 3% above 100mm. Features less than 0.5mm thick are not guaranteed – all care is taken to ensure feature detail; ultimate responsibility lies with the customer. A general wall thickness of 1.0mm is also recommended.

Painting colours to be approved by customer via brush sample, but additional purchase of paints will incur an additional fee.

Cast Urethanes: Customers to provide high resolution 3D STL files. Other 3D formats can be acceptable. Unless otherwise communicated in writing, all Master Models are required to be approved and returned to Formero by the customer before Silicone Tooling commences. Silicone Tools always remain the property of Formero. Expected tool life is 10-20 parts depending on the complexity of parts and the material chosen for casting. All Silicone tools are stored for a minimum of 3 months – after such time they may be recycled or destroyed. Standard PU colours are black and white. Colour cost will apply if nonstandard colours are chosen.

CNC Machined Parts & Presentation Models: Customers to provide acceptable 3D CAD in (IGES, STEP, PARASOLID or native SOLIDWORKS). Critical tolerances and surface finish requirements must be specified with 2D technical drawings. General expected tolerances are +/- 0.1mm – in some cases +/- 0.05mm can be achieved. (Only if specified with detailed 2D drawings). Due to the nature of some materials, and combined with certain designs; CNC machined parts may show some distortion or bending. On larger CNC machined parts, gluing of join lines may be visible.

Injection Moulding (Prototype & Production Parts): Customers to provide acceptable 3D CAD in (IGES, STEP, PARASOLID or native SOLIDWORKS) along with 2D drawings. Prototype Tooling and/or Inserts always remain the property of Formero. Tooling and/or Inserts are guaranteed for quoted number shots. Tooling and/or Inserts are stored for a minimum of 9 months – after such time they may be recycled, destroyed or incur a storage fee. Critical tolerances and surface finish requirements must be specified with 2D technical drawings. General expected tolerances are +/- 0.1mm per 100mm.

Critical dimensions: Unless critical dimensions are specified, only bounding box dimensions of parts will be measured.
