FAQ

Sketchat is a 3D platform that provides different 3D services & products. Moreover, Sketchat offers a variety of 3D items in the Gallery

A real object is produced using the additive manufacturing technique of three-dimensional (3D) printing from a digital design. The process involves applying thin layers of various materials, which are subsequently fused together.

From initial sketching to the final 3D printed product, Sketchat enables you to choose advanced 3D printing materials and technology and experience feedback for 3D printing. This ensures quality for functionality and high-performance products for various applications and use cases.

You can upload your 3D models here. You’ll also get an instant quote.

You can create it by yourself using specialized software like Blender or AutoCAD. Or you can make a 3D design request on Sketchat, which can be found here.

The Platform currently supports the 3 most common 3D printing file formats: STL, OBJ, and 3MF files.

Support refers to the additional structures that are printed alongside the object being printed in order to provide stability and prevent deformities during the printing process. These support structures are temporary and designed to be easily removable once the printing is complete successfully.

We do, indeed. You can select the available materials and colors once your 3D model has been uploaded.

Yes. To complete an order, you need to enter a valid phone number, email address and delivery address.

Order processing times will vary depending on whether a 3D model is submitted or purchased. Your order will be delivered within 5 business days if you purchase products from Gallery. Processing time for customised 3D print & design, including model review & print preparation, can range from 1-2 weeks. The majority of shipments will also require an additional 1-5 business days to deliver.

Creating a 3D model involves using specialized software like Blender or AutoCAD. Start by sketching your idea, then use the software tools to shape and refine your model. Save the file in a compatible format for a 3D printer.

Creating stunning 3D art involves using specialized software such as Blender or Maya to model, texture, and render three-dimensional objects. Start by sketching your ideas, then use the software tools to bring your vision to life. Experiment with lighting, materials, and perspectives to add depth and realism to your art.

Infill refers to the internal structure or pattern that fills the empty space inside a 3D printed object. Common infill patterns include grids, honeycombs, and triangles. Adjusting infill density impacts the strength and weight of the final print.

Popular software choices for 3D printing include CAD programs like Autodesk Fusion 360 and TinkerCAD or professional options like SolidWorks. Slicers such as Cura or PrusaSlicer are also crucial for converting 3D models into printable instructions.

A raft is a horizontal latticework of filament added to the bottom of a 3D print. It helps improve adhesion to the build plate, especially for prints with small surface areas. Rafts are easily removable and reduce the chances of warping during the printing process.

Slicing is the process of converting a 3D model into layers that the 3D printer can understand. Slicing software, like Ultimaker Cura or PrusaSlicer, generates the instructions (G-code) necessary for the printer to build the object layer by layer.

Resin 3D printing, also known as stereolithography (SLA) or digital light processing (DLP), uses a liquid resin that solidifies when exposed to light. This method produces highly detailed and smooth prints, making it suitable for intricate designs, miniatures, and jewelry.
