3D Printing SLS
Technology

Over the years we’ve built a strong reputation for not only supplying Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) 3d printed parts quickly, but also functional short-run production-quality nylon, durable rubber-like components and coloured pieces.

What do I need to make a 3D printed part?

In order to quote or make a 3D printed part, you need to have a 3D CAD file drawing created. We do not offer drawing or scanning services. If you don’t have a CAD drawing of your part you should find a mechanical engineer/design to draw your part. See what is 3d printing.

We’ve built parts for as low as $3 per piece and up, when building multiples. However, each case is unique and dependent on several factors such as: size, area, volume, material used, time to build, commitment to area taken up, labor and what else we can build with it. Our minimum charge is $100.
We don’t like to ballpark pricing unless it’s coming from an existing customer. A guess can sometimes be made, however, you will need a CAD file to move forward and it’s very likely the cost of hiring someone to do the drawing may very well be more than your prototype. Asking how much something the size of a mug or computer mouse will cost rarely offers any value. Start by looking at the cost to get your CAD drawing first to see if that’s cost prohibitive for you.
Hire a mechanical engineer or mechanical designer as they can create 3D CAD drawings. In addition, their education and experience will be valuable later should you manufacture your parts.

We sure can. Whether is a scaled down model for a trade show or for a sales meeting, our 3d printed models can’t be beat! There are some very important things you should quick read first though to better understand what you need to know about 3d printing and your scaled down model.

It seems that this time of year we find to be ‘scaled down model’ time of year likely because there’s a lot of trade shows that are coming up or fall sales sales meetings being scheduled in advance.
In the ever-evolving world of 3D printing, some innovations stand the test of time and serve as a testament to the technology’s transformative potential. One such innovation is a remarkable set of 3D printed gears, which this year celebrates its 20th anniversary.
In an episode of The Big Bang Theory (S10, E09), ‘The Hawking Excitation’ Howard unveils a miniature remote control toy of Stephen Hawking. Despite initial objections from his wife and friends, Stephen Hawking, guest starring on the show, expressed his delight at the idea of a mini RC toy of himself.
