FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How fast can I get parts to Portland?
Express shipping reaches Portland in 3 business days. Overnight available for urgent orders.
Do you work with athletic and footwear brands?
Yes. We produce footwear component prototypes, gear prototypes, and fit samples in MJF Nylon PA11 (bio-based) and Flexible/Elastic SLA resins.
What materials work best for outdoor gear prototypes?
For outdoor and athletic applications, we recommend Nylon PA11 (impact-resistant, bio-based), ASA (UV-stable), and Flexible resin for soft-touch components.
Can you handle high-volume production runs?
Yes. Our MJF production floor handles hundreds to thousands of identical nylon parts.
