3D printing to fill supply chain gaps — no retooling, no long lead times.
Supply chains break. Molds wear out, overseas shipments get delayed, suppliers go silent. Our 3D printing service fills those gaps with production-grade parts delivered in days — domestically, on demand, without retooling. Keep your assembly line running while you solve the upstream problem.
Challenges we solve
What supply chain supplementation teams need from a 3D printing service
Getting parts before the supply gap causes production shutdowns
We deliver in 3–7 business days. For critical shortages, expedited 1–3 day turnaround is available. Your line keeps running while your primary supply chain catches up.
Matching existing part specifications
Supply chain supplementation parts must be drop-in replacements. We work from your existing CAD files and match material properties as closely as possible to your production specification.
Scaling to cover the demand gap
Whether you need 50 parts or 5,000 to cover the gap, our production capacity handles the volume. We produce up to 5,000+ parts per week across MJF, FDM, and SLA.
Avoiding long-term commitments
Supply supplementation is temporary by nature. No contracts, no MOQs, no minimum run commitments. Order what you need, when you need it. Stop when your primary supply recovers.

Materials
Materials for supply chain supplementation
MJF Nylon PA12 is the closest 3D printing equivalent to injection-molded nylon — suitable as a direct substitute for many applications. PETG substitutes for injection-molded PETG with similar chemical resistance. ASA matches outdoor-grade injection-molded plastics. PC CF provides the highest stiffness for structural components.
Nylon PA12
MJF · Shore D 73
Strong, lightweight, chemical resistant. The standard for functional end-use parts. Excellent fatigue resistance and consistent mechanical properties.
PETG
FDM · Shore D 74
Tough, chemical resistant, food-safe options. Good balance of strength and flexibility.
ASA
FDM · Shore D 78
UV and weather resistant. Ideal for outdoor applications and functional parts exposed to sunlight.
Nylon PA11
MJF · Shore D 80
Bio-based nylon with higher elongation and impact resistance. Ideal for parts requiring ductility and flexibility.

QA
Dimensional verification against your specification. Inspection data available.
Ship
Domestic shipping from Brooklyn, NY. No customs, no freight forwarding delays.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can 3D printed parts directly replace injection-molded parts?
In many applications, yes. MJF Nylon PA12 delivers tensile properties within 10–15% of injection-molded PA6. We evaluate your specific part and application to confirm suitability.
How fast can you ramp up production?
We can typically begin production within 1–2 business days of file approval. Our fleet produces 5,000+ parts per week.
Is there a minimum commitment?
No. Order once, order weekly, or stop at any time. No contracts, no minimums, no penalties.
