3D printing service for Seattle — aerospace, robotics, and hardware teams.
Seattle's aerospace, robotics, and hardware ecosystem demands production-grade parts on tight timelines. Makelab serves Seattle-area teams with express shipping — 2 business days via express carrier. We work with aerospace companies, drone manufacturers, robotics startups, and consumer hardware teams across the Puget Sound region. Our material catalog includes PC CF for aerospace-grade stiffness, MJF Nylon for production parts, and 19 other materials for every stage of development.
Seattle's aerospace corridor, autonomous vehicle companies, and hardware startup ecosystem create demand for 3D printing services that go beyond basic FDM prototyping. Makelab serves Puget Sound teams with express shipping from our production floor — 2 business days door to door. Boeing suppliers and aerospace startups use our PC CF (8.0 GPa, the stiffest material in our catalog) and MJF Nylon PA12 for production-grade tooling and structural components. Drone manufacturers in the region use us for lightweight brackets and custom sensor housings. Consumer hardware companies in Seattle and Bellevue iterate on product designs with our SLA and FDM platforms.

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.

Why us
Why Seattle teams choose a Brooklyn-based service
Seattle aerospace teams need materials that local FDM shops do not stock — PC CF for structural stiffness, Nylon PA12 for production-grade fatigue resistance, and High Temp resin for heat validation. We carry all of these and 18 other materials. 2-day express shipping from our production floor is fast enough for sprint-cadence development.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you serve Boeing suppliers in the Seattle area?
Yes. We produce tooling, fixtures, and prototype parts for aerospace companies in the Puget Sound region. NDA as standard practice. Batch tracking and documentation available.
What materials are best for aerospace applications?
PC CF (8.0 GPa, 140°C HDT) for structural applications. MJF Nylon PA12 (1.8 GPa, 175°C HDT) for production-grade components. High Temp resin (238°C HDT) for heat validation parts.
How does 2-day shipping affect sprint cadence?
Order Monday, receive Wednesday. For weekly sprints, this means parts arrive mid-week for Thursday or Friday review. For biweekly sprints, 2-day shipping has zero impact on cadence.
Do you work with outdoor recreation companies?
Yes. ASA is UV-stable and weather-resistant — ideal for outdoor products exposed to Seattle weather and Pacific Northwest conditions.
