3D printing service for Houston — production-grade parts shipped from our production floor.
Houston energy, aerospace, and medical device teams use Makelab for production-grade 3D printed parts. We ship via 2-day express carriers. Our material catalog includes Nylon PA12 and PC CF for functional prototypes that survive the pressures and temperatures of oilfield and space applications.
Houston is home to some of the most demanding hardware engineering in the country — NASA Johnson Space Center, the world largest energy sector, and the Texas Medical Center. Our production facility ships parts to Houston in 2 business days with express carriers, and our material catalog includes the engineering thermoplastics and production nylons that survive the conditions these industries demand.

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.
