3D printing
Printed here, not brokered
The printers are in the same building as the people who drew the part. When a fit is wrong, the fix is an afternoon rather than a return shipment.
Materials we run
PLA
Standard prototyping material
PETG
Better impact and heat resistance
CF Nylon
Carbon fiber reinforced, stiffest option
Infill and color are set per part. If you need something we do not stock, ask in the inquiry: sometimes the answer is yes and sometimes it is a recommendation to machine it instead.
How it works
From a file, or from nothing
You have a model
Send STEP or STL with the inquiry. We will come back with material and orientation recommendations, and flag anything that will not survive the process.
You have a part but no model
We can measure and model it, which puts the job through our mechanical line first. That is one conversation and one proposal, not two vendors.
You need more than one
Short runs are normal here. Tell us the quantity in the inquiry, because it changes the orientation and the infill we would recommend.
What a printed part is not
Read this before you specify one
Printed parts are anisotropic. They are weaker along the layer lines, and how much weaker depends on the material, the orientation and the infill. We choose those to suit the load when you tell us what the load is.
Everything we print is for prototyping, experimental and non-critical use. It is not certified for safety-critical applications, and we will say so again if an inquiry describes one. Where a part has to be certified, the honest answer is a different process, and often a different supplier.
Send the file
Tell us the material if you know it, the quantity, and what the part has to survive.
