What's Possible
What's not?
From home-wares, toys, and containers, to light duty mechanical parts and electronic housings, the limits of additive manufacturing are nearly unlimited.
electronics housings | sensors | lighting | brackets | gaming accessories | fidget toys | soap trays | travel containers | home organization | coffee tools | planters | speaker stands | stationary | kitchen accessories | racks and shelves | aquarium accessories
Unlimited options can be terrifying though, so here's a breakdown.
It's printable if it's:
Rigid
We can't print fabrics, yet. (chainmail excluded)
Flat sided
At least one flat surface, or it'll roll around during printing.
3D Model-able
Even better if you provide us with one. 2D is possible too, boring, but possible.
Obeys physics
We can only defy gravity a bit. Large overhangs require extra support material.
5 soda cans large
We're capable of mass printing up to 180mm x 180mm x 180mm, which is slightly larger than 5 soda cans placed in a dice formation.
How does FDM 3DP work?
In FDM 3D printing, material is precisely melted and laid down in 2D layers stacking until a 3D form is created. We've mastered the in & outs of this process allowing you to get the most out of it.
When compared to injection molding (how plastic products are usually made) you get a lot more design freedom and flexibility as you don't need an expensive metal mold that's near impossible to change once made.

It's not witchcraft or rocket-surgery.
Just a really fast hot glue gun on a robot.

Materials
We use almost exclusively plant-based plastics (biopolymers). These materials are made from sustainably sourced crops, and offer lasting performance for your product's needs.
100% Biodegradable, sourced from GMO-free crops.
10x less carbon footprint vs petroleum-based plastics.
Used by leading brands like IKEA, Danone, and more.
Compliant with intl. standards for industrial composting.
We can bring in nearly any color you want.
We print a TON of a few colors, such as matte black, white granite, & grey marble, so generally we'll have some on hand. We can get just about anything else in within days from our supplier network.
