The process of 3D printing will usually start by gathering all the information on the desired object being created. After gathering that information, the creation process of getting said object in hand can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 7 days or more. There are many different factors in the 3D printing process that will dictate the length it takes to create a part. A few of these factors include the complexity and overall size of the part as well as the process you choose to use when creating the object. Hard coat, paint, and graphic finishes will add to the lead time.
