Core Capabilities
| Capability | What It Solves | Best Fit |
|---|---|---|
| FDM 3D Printing | Fast functional plastic parts | Brackets, covers, holders, prototypes |
| 3D Scanning | Capture broken parts without CAD | Obsolete parts, fit checks, reverse engineering |
| Reverse Engineering | Turn scan/photo/part into usable model | Critical replacement parts and redesigns |
| Fixture Design | Improve assembly, drilling, sorting, holding | Manufacturing, warehouse, contractors |
| Low-Volume Production | Make small batches without tooling | 10–500 parts depending on size and material |
| Metal / SLS Partners | Offer advanced manufacturing without owning every machine | Jobs that need nylon SLS, aluminum, steel, or titanium |
Materials We Start With
- PLA / PLA Pro for visual prototypes and low-stress parts
- PETG for durable general-use parts
- ASA / ABS for heat and outdoor use
- TPU for flexible grips, feet, pads, and protective parts
- Nylon / PA for engineering applications
- Carbon fiber nylon for stronger industrial parts
Trust & Limits
- NDA available for sensitive files and parts
- Written scope before engineering begins
- Payment collected before engineering or printing begins
- Photos and customer approval milestones available
- Not for life-safety or regulated parts unless separately engineered and certified
- No certification claims unless formally documented
Carbon Fiber & High-Strength Composite Parts
Composite parts add a premium offering for industrial brackets, fixtures, sensor mounts, robot tooling, automotive parts, drone parts, and durable replacement components. These jobs should be quoted after review of geometry, material, strength, heat, printer compatibility, and risk.
