Functional prototypes
Check a design in your hands, in an assembly, or in a test rig. Critical dimensions and surfaces guide how an accepted model is reviewed.

Our process covers personal projects, prototypes, fixtures, and short runs made from customer-supplied models. New orders and new customers are temporarily paused.
New project intake is on hold; this page describes our printing capabilities.
Applications
What are you working on?
The right process starts with the job the part needs to do. These are some of the ways people use the parts we print.
Jigs, fixtures & tooling
Assembly aids, alignment blocks, drill guides, and soft jaws from your model files. Practical parts sized to the work happening at your bench.
Personal projects
Hobby builds, custom organizers, display pieces, and useful parts for home, made from designs customers own or have permission to print.
Short production runs
Small batches where dedicated tooling would be hard to justify. We agree on the material and finish, and can start with a first article before committing to the full run.
Replacement parts & housings
Clips, knobs, brackets, electronics cases, and covers. An accepted project needs an authorized model and the features that must fit together.
Display & presentation
Product cradles, branded stands, and signage components. We discuss visible surfaces and available filament colors before the print run.
The details
A little preparation makes a better part.
We print existing models and can make modest changes for printability. File preparation, orientation, supports, and finishing are considered as part of your quote.
Printing capabilities
Accepted file formats, model adjustments, typical tolerances, finishing options, and the steps from quote to delivery.

Compare PLA, PETG, ASA, ABS, polycarbonate, and the rest of our filament range against the way your part will be used.
Compare materials →A quote needs an existing 3D model. Original CAD design and reverse-engineering are outside our current service. You must own the model or have permission for commissioned printing; see our model-rights requirements.
