Or open the estimator →Plenty of places will take an STL. Fewer will determine the best way to make your part at the highest quality for your specific needs.
The mechanical engineer who reads your model is the one who prints it. No automated queue in between.
The estimate is instant, and prototypes are not scheduled behind a production backlog. Lead time is calculated from your geometry, not from a marketing number.
Parts are printed, finished and packed here, on equipment we own and maintain. Nothing goes out to a fulfilment network.
Start with one part. Order a repeat run next quarter from the same file and the same profile.

Drop in a STEP, STL, OBJ or 3MF file and choose material, quantity and how fast you need it. The geometry is read in your browser and never leaves your machine.
Priced from the part's own geometry, every line itemized, with a PDF you can put in front of purchasing the same afternoon.
An engineer reviews every estimate before production and may adjust price, material or lead time, or suggest a design change. You approve the final quote before anything is built.
Have a spec sheet, a tricky tolerance or a part that keeps failing in service? Send it, and we will tell you whether FDM is the right answer.

These are the materials the estimator will quote today, read from the configuration it prices from.
Anything else, ask. The answer comes from the shop.
As printed, walls and outer features typically hold ±0.1 mm and holes ±0.2 mm on small, well supported features. Accuracy falls off as a part gets larger and varies with material, so critical dimensions are reviewed per part. Tell us which ones matter and we will tell you what we can hold on yours, before you order. The tolerance guide.
A part larger than the 350 × 320 × 320 mm envelope is split along a joint line, printed as sections and bonded into one piece. The estimator tells you when that applies, and the joint line is confirmed during review.
No. We hold none of them, and we do not supply flight, medical or safety-critical hardware. Aerospace and automotive teams buy prototypes, fixtures and test hardware from shops like this one, and that is the work we do for them.
Printed from your CAD: functional and mechanical prototypes, fixtures and manufacturing aids, tooling, enclosures and housings, manifolds and ducting, robotics components, replacement parts for equipment out of production, test hardware, and repeat low-volume parts.
The estimator reads your CAD in your browser. Your file is not uploaded to price it; only its measurements are sent, and they are not stored. Once you submit, and while the job is open, we hold the exact CAD it was priced from so a repeat order builds the revision you approved. Files are deleted when the project is complete, as our privacy policy says.
One shop, in San Jose, with local pickup and delivery by arrangement across much of the South Bay. We serve San Jose, North San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Sunnyvale, Mountain View, Cupertino, Campbell, Fremont, Palo Alto, and ship anywhere in the United States. The towns are the market we serve, not offices we keep.
Larger-format capacity and further additive processes are planned. Nothing is offered on this site until the machine that does it is in the shop.
Describe the part below and it goes straight to an engineer.
We are glad to work under an NDA. If you need one signed before you send geometry, just ask.
