Output

OutputOutputOutput
Functional prototypes

Parts built to engineering tolerances, inspected, and shipped ready for testing. Not rough drafts — production-quality output from day one.

End-use parts

Production-grade thermoplastics and resins that go directly into assemblies, enclosures, and customer-facing products.

Form and fit models

Validate geometry, clearances, and assembly interfaces before committing to tooling or final production runs.

Rapid iteration

No tooling, no minimums. Revise your design overnight and have updated parts in hand by end of week.

FDM thermoplastics

PLA, PETG, TPU, ASA, and PC CF — the workhorse materials for brackets, housings, jigs, and functional prototypes. Fastest turnaround, lowest cost per part.

SLA resins

Standard, Durable, Tough 2K, and Tough 1500 deliver smooth surfaces and fine detail. Ideal for visual models, snap-fit assemblies, and client presentations.

Specialty SLA

High Temp for thermal applications, Flexible and Elastic for gaskets and wearables, Castable for investment casting patterns. Each matched to a specific engineering need.

MJF production nylon

Nylon PA12 and PA11 — isotropic, chemical-resistant, and built for volume. The go-to materials when parts need to perform in the field.
