3D Printing (FDM / SLA)

Rapid prototypes, fixtures, and fit checks. Choose FDM for durability, SLA for detail.

Example Work

FDM printed fixture
SLA printed prototype
3D printed casting pattern

Representative examples. Actual parts vary based on customer specifications.

FDM Printing

1–7 business days

Best for:

  • Fixtures and brackets
  • Enclosures
  • Functional prototypes
  • Durable parts

Material options vary. PLA, PETG, ABS, and specialty filaments available.

SLA Printing

2–10 business days

Best for:

  • High-detail parts
  • Small features
  • Cosmetic prototypes
  • Molds and patterns

Post-processing affects lead time. Standard and engineering resins available.

Creating pattern masters for casting? We use 3D printed plugs for sand casting. See our Sand Casting pathway for expedited turnaround on simple geometries.

What We Need From You

  • STL or STEP files (STEP preferred for scaling verification)
  • Target dimensions and critical features
  • Intended use (functional, cosmetic, pattern master)
  • Any tolerance requirements
  • Quantity and timeline
