3D-Printing Service
Source high-quality 3D printed prototypes and production parts from our in-house additive manufacturing facility in the USA.
Our 3D-Printing Capabilities
3DP MFG is well known for manufacturing high-quality parts at competitive prices, from rapid prototyping with Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) to functional end-use parts made with Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
FDM
Fast and affordable prototyping
• Dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.5mm (0.020’’)
• 1-day lead times very possible
SLS
Functional prototyping and low-run production
• Dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.2mm (0.008'')
• 1-day lead times possible
Small Batch Orders:
• Quantity: Typically 1 to 100 units, sometimes up to 250.
• Purpose: Ideal for prototyping, pilot runs, custom components, or low-volume end-use parts.
• Value: Enables rapid iteration, low upfront tooling cost, and design flexibility.
• Example: A drone company ordering 25 custom camera mounts in PA12 for field testing.
Large Batch Orders:
• Quantity: 250 to 1,000+ units.
• Purpose: For bridge production, on-demand production, or niche high-volume parts where injection molding may not be feasible due to design complexity or change frequency.
• Value: Offers cost efficiencies via nesting (in SLS), batch post-processing, and streamlined supply chains.
• Example: A medical device manufacturer ordering 1,200 FDM-printed alignment jigs for multiple locations.
