3d Printing

We’re now offering 3D printing as a cost-effective approach for creating small functional parts, mock-ups, templates, tooling, jigs, and scale models. Our prints can range from highly detailed to more utilitarian, depending on your specific needs. Certain materials can even closely mimic metals, making them ideal for both decorative and practical applications.

While 3D printing is widely accessible, we stand apart because we design and build every day, ensuring we fully understand the needs of builders and designers. We don’t just print parts—we refine them. From smoothing surfaces to applying custom patinas, our post-processing expertise goes well beyond what a typical 3D print farm can offer.

Our material selection is extensive, covering everything from faux wood and faux metal to high-temperature and flexible options. Whatever your requirements, we likely have the perfect fit for your next project.
