Materials
23 materials available for Berkeley teams
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.

How it works
From file to Berkeley delivery
Upload & quote
Upload your STL, STEP, OBJ, or 3MF. Get instant pricing or talk to an engineer.
File review
We check geometry, wall thickness, and orientation before every build.
Production
Parts produced on FDM, SLA, or MJF with locked process parameters.
QA inspection
Three-point inspection: pre-build, in-process, and final before packing.
Ship
Tracked shipping. NYC: same-day. National: 1-5 business days.
Shipping
Shipping to Berkeley, CA
Express shipping to Berkeley in 2 business days. Also covers Emeryville, Albany, El Cerrito.
Every order ships from our production facility in Brooklyn, NY. Same-day pickup for local teams, tracked ground and express shipping nationwide. Enter your zip code to see all delivery options and transit times.

Why us
Why Berkeley teams choose a Brooklyn-based service
Berkeley research teams choose Makelab because campus 3D print labs and local FDM shops cannot match SLA at plus or minus 0.2mm, MJF production nylon, and 23 materials.
