How It Works
-
Start by filling out our [Quote Request Form]. Be as detailed as possible—include quantity, overall dimensions, how the part will be used (e.g., load-bearing, decorative, outdoor exposure), and any deadlines. You can upload CAD files (STL, STEP, etc.) or simply describe your idea. Photos, sketches, and reference images are also helpful.
If you already have a finished design and just need it printed, select “3D Printing” as your requested service.
If you need help developing or refining a design, be sure to select both “Engineering” and “3D Printing” so we can help guide the project from concept to finished part.

Once we review your request, we’ll confirm your project requirements and determine next steps.
If you provided your own CAD file, we’ll verify that it’s ready for printing and finalize details like material, color, and any critical tolerances before production.
If you need design assistance, we’ll reach out to discuss the scope and begin the design process. You’ll receive digital previews for review, with up to two free rounds of revisions included.
Nothing moves to print until you approve the final design.
-
Once your design is approved, we’ll produce your part using the selected material. Whether it’s a single item or a small batch, we’ll print your parts and get them to you.
You can pick up your finished parts locally in West Fargo, ND, or have them shipped anywhere in the U.S.
What We Can Print
-
We regularly print functional parts and mechanical prototypes for engineers, inventors, and businesses looking to move quickly from idea to physical object. Whether you need a bracket, jig, housing, or proof-of-concept model, we support applications ranging from basic geometry checks to fully functional testing components.
If you already have a CAD model, we can print it as-is using a material that aligns with your use case—whether that’s durability, heat resistance, or budget. If you’re still in the development phase, we can help you design one from scratch and guide you through iterative revisions until it’s ready. Ideal for early-stage product development, testing, and validation.
Every project benefits from our real-world engineering experience—this isn’t just 3D printing, it’s part of a complete product development workflow.

Need a part that’s no longer made or hard to find? We can recreate simple mechanical components based on provided measurements, drawings, or CAD files. Whether it’s a missing knob, a custom spacer, or a mounting bracket, we’ll help confirm if a printable solution makes sense. Perfect for garage fixes, equipment repairs, or restoring older items.
Note: Complex shapes or tight-tolerance fits may require additional engineering input.

3D Printing FAQs
-
For in-house production, our maximum build volume is approximately 10” x 10” x 10”.
Oversized Projects: We specialize in engineering larger assemblies by splitting designs into multiple components. We utilize integrated alignment features (pins/tabs), high-strength bonding, or mechanical fasteners to ensure the final assembly maintains structural integrity.
-
Strength is a function of both material selection and part geometry. Because we approach 3D printing from an engineering perspective, we optimize the "internal architecture" of your part.
Standard Utility: Materials like PLA and PETG are excellent for form-fit testing, rapid prototyping, and light-duty functional components.
Engineering-Grade Materials: For more demanding applications, we utilize Carbon Fiber-reinforced filaments and high-performance polymers that offer increased rigidity, better heat resistance, and improved durability.
Mechanical Optimization: We don’t just "hit print." We adjust wall thickness, infill density, and build orientation to ensure the part performs as intended under its specific load requirements.
-
No. While we can print directly from your STL or STEP files, we also offer professional design and drafting services to help you move from an idea to a physical part.
If you have a sketch: We can translate your hand drawings, dimensions, and functional requirements into a precision 3D model using industrial CAD tools.
If you have a simple mechanical part: For straightforward items like brackets, spacers, or gears, we can manually measure your original component and model a replacement from scratch.
If you have a concept: We offer full design consulting to develop your idea into a functional, manufacturable assembly.
Note: We do not currently offer 3D scanning for complex organic surfaces (such as figurines or high-detail automotive body panels).
-
We select materials based on your part’s end-use environment, balancing mechanical strength, thermal resistance, and detail.
Standard Utility (PLA): The go-to for rapid prototyping, concept models, and high-detail items where thermal resistance isn't a primary concern.
Durable & Outdoor (PETG/ASA): These offer improved impact resistance and UV/weather stability. They are ideal for "garage-ready" parts, outdoor enclosures, or components exposed to mild heat.
Engineering-Grade (Carbon Fiber/Reinforced): For high-performance mechanical parts, we utilize carbon fiber-reinforced filaments that offer superior stiffness and a professional matte finish.
Specialty Sourcing: If your project requires a specific engineering filament (such as Nylon or specialty polymers), we can source it to meet your exact specifications.
Not sure which to choose? We can recommend the optimal material based on your project's mechanical requirements. Request a Quote to get started.
-
Yes. We utilize advanced multi-material systems that allow us to fuse multiple colors into a single, cohesive part during the printing process. This is a permanent, wear-resistant solution that eliminates the need for secondary painting or labeling.
Integrated Features: We can embed high-contrast text, markers, or contrasting geometry directly into the surface of a part.
Flexible File Prep: While multi-body assemblies are welcome, we can also "paint" color boundaries onto standard STL files during the slicing process to achieve the look you need.
Structural Integrity: To ensure optimal layer adhesion, multi-color builds are typically restricted to the same material base (e.g., all PLA or all PETG) so the different colors bond at a molecular level.
-
Because every project has unique geometric complexities and material requirements, we provide custom quotes for every job. Our pricing is determined by four primary factors:
Material Selection: Costs vary based on the polymer used, from standard prototyping materials (PLA/PETG) to engineering-grade filaments like Carbon Fiber-reinforced blends.
Total Print Time: This is the duration the machine is running, which is influenced by the part’s volume, the required layer resolution (detail), and the internal "architecture" (infill density).
Design & Modeling: If you do not have a 3D-ready file, we provide professional CAD services to model your part from a sketch, dimensions, or a simple physical component.
Technical Preparation: This includes the engineering time required to optimize build orientation, manage support structures for complex geometries, and "paint" color boundaries for multi-material prints.
We don’t just "hit print." We engineer the build to ensure the highest structural integrity and surface finish. To receive an accurate, all-in price for your project, please visit our Request a Quote page.
