See your design sooner. Make your next iteration count.
Choose an additive manufacturing route around appearance, assembly or functional requirements. Complex forms and internal features can be printed, with secondary machining for critical interfaces.
3D printing capabilities
Appearance models
Concept and presentation models where shape, proportion and surface appearance matter most.
Functional & fit-check prototypes
Prototypes for assembly, fit and early functional checks, with material chosen for the intended use.
Complex geometry
Internal channels, organic forms and consolidated parts that are hard to machine can be printed in one piece.
Finishing & secondary machining
Support removal, sanding, painting and machining of critical features where tighter control is needed.

3D printing design tips
- 01
Choose the goal first
Say whether the part is for appearance, fit or functional testing; the process and material follow from that.
- 02
Check thin walls and fine details
Very thin walls and small features may not print or survive post-processing. Flag them so they can be reviewed.
- 03
Think about orientation and supports
Build orientation affects strength, surface quality and where supports leave marks. Mark the cosmetic faces.
- 04
Plan fits and post-machining
Printed parts can need clearance adjustments. Identify holes and mating faces that may need secondary machining.

Quality and confidentiality
Drawing review first
Critical dimensions, datums and finish requirements are confirmed before production.

Inspection scope, measurement method and any report are agreed with you before work begins.
Learn moreYour design stays yours
An NDA can be agreed before you share complete files. Drawings are used only for your project.

When should I choose 3D printing instead of CNC?
3D printing suits complex geometry, quick design checks and appearance models. CNC is usually the better fit for functional parts in production-like materials. See our comparison article for more detail.
What do you need for a quotation?
Send your 3D model (STEP is preferred; X_T, IGES and STL are also accepted) and 2D drawing, with material, quantity, critical dimensions, tolerances, finish and target lead time. We reply to quote requests within 24 hours. You can also contact us before every detail is finalized.
Can I start with one prototype?
Yes. The minimum order is 1 piece, and the same part can move on to low-volume production later. Cost and lead time depend on the part and project requirements.
What tolerances can you achieve?
Capability depends on material, dimensions, geometry, process and inspection conditions. Identify the critical-to-function features on your drawing so they can be reviewed.
How long does it take?
Prototypes take about 5 days; small-batch lead times are confirmed per project.
Can you print metal parts?
Yes. Metal parts are printed by SLM.
Can we agree on an NDA first?
Yes. A customer NDA can be submitted for review before the full design package is shared. Raise special information-handling requirements at the start.
