The time range for 3D printing a metal artwork is very wide, ranging from 2.5 hours to several days or more. The specific time consumption mainly depends on the size and complexity of the handicraft structure, as well as whether manual processing is required in the future.
Volume is the key factor: a delicate and small metal pony craft may only take 2.5-5 hours, while a larger metal engine model takes several days.
Complexity is also another key factor: for models like articulated dragon models or building models that require assembly, the structure itself increases the difficulty and time of printing. After printing is completed, post-processing tasks such as polishing and electroplating may also require an additional day or more to complete the entire support.
How to obtain accurate time?
The most accurate way is to directly contact the 3D printing service provider for evaluation.
