SLS Nylon Material
Equivalent to nylon 12, this material offers the best benefits of all the rapid prototyping methods, as parts are durable, accurate, are fully testable and offer high quality components. The flexibility allowed by using nylon material for rapid prototyping methods makes it the best choice for those prototypes that you need to have more options for once they are complete. We don’t just provide you with the best quality in prototypes: We offer state-of-the-art solutions! Nylon results in the durable prototypes that let you drill, snap, tap or fit together for the ultimate assembly or trade show model.

- Can be tapped and drilled
- Easy to paint
Benefits
- Create plastic parts without tooling
- Snap-fit assemblies, fully testable parts
- Produce one piece, a short run or multiple versions
- Durable patterns for sand casting and silicone tooling

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.
How much does it cost to make a 3D printed part?
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.
Can I get a price without a CAD drawing?
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.
How do I get a 3D CAD drawing?
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.
