Frequently Asked Questions

1. What materials are best for 3D printed phone cases?

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is the most popular material for 3D printed phone cases due to its flexibility, durability, and shock absorption properties. TPU 95A offers an excellent balance between flexibility and structural integrity.

2. How long does it take to 3D print a phone case?

Printing time varies based on the complexity of the design and printer capabilities. Simple cases might take 2-3 hours on a consumer-grade printer, while commercial machines can produce cases in under an hour.

3. Are 3D printed phone cases durable?

When printed with quality materials (like TPU) and proper settings, 3D printed cases can be just as durable as mass-produced options. The key factors are material selection, print quality, and wall thickness (recommended minimum of 1.5mm).

Widermatrix has been so great to work with especially Taylor. Taylor sends pictures and testimonials and data to help the decision process. Once decided the process is smooth and Taylor sends updates with pictures and videos of YOUR phone case vending machine along the way. The claims are real, this automated phone case dispenser is half paid back on my initial invest just after 2 months!
