3D printing service. Upload a file, get parts in days.
Makelab is an online 3D printing service for custom parts — instant quotes, 23 materials across 5 technologies, and a 1-part minimum. Every order is made in our own Brooklyn, NY facility and shipped nationwide with 97% on-time delivery.
Made in-house
A 3D printing service, not a marketplace
One facility, one team
Marketplaces broker your files out to a network of anonymous shops. We build every part ourselves in Brooklyn, NY — the engineer who reviews your file works twenty feet from the machine that prints it.
Accountable quality
Same machines, same operators, same three-point QA on every order. When quality is one team’s responsibility, 97% on-time delivery is a statistic — not a coin flip between vendors.
Made in the USA
Your IP stays in one building in New York. No files forwarded overseas, no mystery subcontractors, and NYC teams can visit the floor where their parts are made.
How it works
How our online 3D print service works
Upload & quote online
Upload your STL, STEP, OBJ, or 3MF. Get instant online pricing or talk to an engineer.
File review
An engineer checks geometry, wall thickness, and orientation before every build.
Production
Parts produced in-house on FDM, SLA, Industrial SLA, MJF, or FGF with locked process parameters.
QA inspection
Three-point inspection: pre-build, in-process, and final before packing.
Ship or pick up
Tracked shipping nationwide. NYC: same-day pickup available. National: 1–5 business days.
Services
One service, four ways to use it
Parts & Prototyping
1–50 parts per order. 23 materials. FDM, SLA, MJF. From 1 business day.
Production Runs
50–5,000+ parts. Batch QA. 97% on-time. MJF Nylon, FDM.
XL 3D Printing
Single pieces up to 2400mm. Industrial SLA, FGF. Seamless assembly.
Design Engineering
DfAM optimization, scan-to-CAD, lattice lightweighting.
Custom work
Custom 3D printing services
Most of what we print never existed before — custom fixtures, replacement parts, product prototypes, one-off builds. Custom is not a premium tier here; it is the default.
One-off custom parts
A single replacement part, a custom fixture, a discontinued component — 1-part minimum, no tooling, no setup fees. If you have a CAD file, we can make it.
Custom materials and finishes
23 materials from flexible TPU to glass-filled nylon, plus sanding, priming, painting, dyeing, and vapor smoothing through our post-processing line.
Design help when you need it
No CAD file yet? Our design engineering team handles scan-to-CAD, DfAM optimization, and drawing-to-model conversion before your parts hit a printer.
Custom production programs
Recurring orders, kitting, custom packaging, and blanket POs for teams that need parts on a schedule — with batch QA on every run.

Materials
23 materials in stock
PLA
FDM · Shore D 81
General purpose, biodegradable. Rigid, good surface finish. Not heat or UV resistant.
PETG
FDM · Shore D 74
Tough, chemical resistant, food-safe options. Good balance of strength and flexibility.
Standard Resin
SLA · Shore D 78
Smooth surface, fine detail. Good for visual prototypes and concept models.
Tough 2K
SLA · Shore D 76
ABS-like toughness with SLA detail. Functional prototypes that need impact resistance.
Nylon PA12
MJF · Shore D 73
Strong, lightweight, chemical resistant. The standard for functional end-use parts. Excellent fatigue resistance and consistent mechanical properties.
Nylon PA11
MJF · Shore D 80
Bio-based nylon with higher elongation and impact resistance. Ideal for parts requiring ductility and flexibility.

FAQ
3D printing service FAQs
How much does your 3D printing service cost?
Pricing is per part — no tooling costs, no setup fees, and a 1-part minimum. FDM is the most affordable option, SLA and MJF are mid-range, and Industrial SLA is priced for large presentation-grade parts. Upload your file for an instant online quote, or see our pricing guide for a technology-by-technology breakdown.
How fast can I get 3D printed parts?
Our fastest turnaround is 1 business day on FDM. Typical orders ship in 2–5 business days depending on technology, material, and quantity. NYC-area customers can pick up finished parts at our Brooklyn facility, and we hit a 97% on-time delivery rate across all orders.
Can I order custom 3D printed parts online?
Yes. Upload your STL, STEP, OBJ, or 3MF file to our online quoting tool and you get pricing in minutes. Every order is then reviewed by an engineer for manufacturability before it enters production — you get the speed of an online 3D print service with a human checking every file.
Do you handle low-volume and one-off orders?
Yes — the minimum order is a single part. Because 3D printing needs no tooling, one-offs, short runs, and bridge production all run on the same machines with the same quality process.
What materials can you print?
We stock 23 materials across five technologies: FDM thermoplastics (PLA, PETG, TPU, ASA, PC CF), SLA resins (Standard, Tough, Durable, Flexible, High Temp, and more), MJF nylons (PA12, PA11, glass-filled), and large-format Industrial SLA and FGF materials.
Where are my parts actually made?
Every part is produced in our own facility in Brooklyn, NY — we are a manufacturer, not a marketplace. Your files are never brokered out to third-party print shops, and the team that quotes your order is the same team that builds and inspects it.
What file formats do you accept?
STL, STEP, OBJ, and 3MF for instant quotes. Have a different format, a 2D drawing, or no file at all? Our design engineering team can convert or model it for you.
Do you ship nationwide?
Yes — we ship tracked to all 50 states, typically arriving 1–5 business days after production. NYC-area customers can choose same-day pickup or courier delivery from our Brooklyn facility.
