Print Technology

Built Layer
by Layer

We specialize in FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) — the most versatile and cost-effective 3D printing technology for functional prototypes and custom parts.

Our Technology
FDM
Fused Deposition Modeling

FDM builds parts layer by layer from thermoplastic filament — delivering strong, functional, and cost-effective results across a huge range of materials. It's the right choice for the vast majority of prototype and custom part applications.

  • Layer resolution down to 0.1mm
  • Wide material range: PLA, ABS, PETG, ASA, TPU, Nylon, PC
  • Ideal for functional prototypes, enclosures, brackets, tooling, and custom parts
  • Most cost-effective additive manufacturing process per cubic inch
  • Build volumes up to 256mm x 256mm x 260mm
What FDM Is Best For
Use Cases
  • Functional prototypes for fit, form, and function testing
  • Custom enclosures, housings, and panels
  • Brackets, mounts, jigs, and fixtures
  • Replacement or custom automotive/mechanical parts
  • Product concept models and presentation pieces
  • Low-volume production runs of custom components
  • Tooling aids and manufacturing support fixtures
  • Inventor and startup first-article prototypes

Custom Prototype Design

No CAD File?
No Problem.

Most clients come to us with an idea, a sketch, or a rough concept — not a finished file. We can help develop print-ready 3D models optimized for your chosen process and material.

We don't just print files. We help bring your ideas to life from the ground up.

  • Concept to CAD

    We translate your idea, sketch, or reference into a precise 3D model ready for printing — no engineering experience required on your end.

  • Design for Printability

    Every model is reviewed and optimized for the target process — wall thickness, overhangs, tolerances, and support placement are all dialed in before a single layer prints.

  • Rapid Iteration

    Prototyping is rarely one-and-done. We work in fast revision cycles so your design gets refined quickly based on real printed feedback.

  • You Own the Files

    Receive production-ready STEP, STL, and native formats for future use, modifications, or manufacturing scale-up.

What We Print In

Materials

PLA
FDM · Standard

Easy to print, rigid, great for concept models and visual prototypes. Available in dozens of colors.

PETG
FDM · Engineering

Tough, slightly flexible, and chemical-resistant. Ideal for functional parts that need to hold up in real conditions.

ABS / ASA
FDM · Engineering

Impact-resistant with excellent heat tolerance. ASA adds UV stability for outdoor-use prototypes.

TPU
FDM · Flexible

Flexible filament for grips, seals, gaskets, and wearables. Highly customizable shore durometer.

Nylon
FDM · High Perf.

Strong, slightly flexible, and fatigue-resistant. Great for complex assemblies and demanding end-use parts.

Polycarbonate
FDM · High Temp

Exceptional strength and heat resistance for demanding prototype applications and structural testing.

How It Works

Idea to Part
in 5 Steps

Step 01
Tell Us Your Idea

Share your concept, sketch, reference photo, or CAD file. There's no wrong starting point — we work from wherever you are.

Step 02
Design & Review

We model or prepare your file for printing, check for printability issues, and get your sign-off before committing to material.

Step 03
Quote & Confirm

Clear pricing with no surprises. We quote material, process, post-processing, and turnaround time — all upfront.

Step 04
Print & Finish

Parts are printed in-house, inspected, and post-processed as needed — support removal, sanding, priming, or painting per your spec.

Step 05
Ship or Pick Up

Local Jacksonville pickup available. We ship nationwide and stay available for revision rounds and next-iteration work.
