Some of our capabilities:
- Printing of parts up to 12.5 inches wide and up to 24 colors in one model (5 and under is the most common)
- Ability to print with most of the filaments available on the market today with PLA, SILK PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PCCF, and Nylon being the most common. We also can print with carbon or glass fiber reinforced filaments. We can help you select what you need.
- We have the capacity to run large orders with more equipment being added each quarter. We actually enjoy running more than one of the same part. It makes the setup and/or design work worth the trouble!
- We specialize in functional parts but can also make creative or artistic pieces.
- If you have a file you want us to print that works as well. In that case we charge for setup, machine time, and filament cost only. We can print a file if you provide it it doesn't violate any of our policies. Nothing unsafe, for illegal use, and no firearm components for example.
