No model yet?
Print-only requests require a model. If you have an idea or an existing part, we can review a design or recreation request first.
This is useful when…
This is useful when you already have a printable model, need a physical prototype to learn from, or want a small run of practical parts after the design is settled.
What to send
- An existing STL, STEP/STP, OBJ, or 3MF model (required for printing)
- Overall size, quantity, and how the part will be used
- Fit, appearance, colour, and finish priorities
- Any date or real-world condition the part must meet
What to expect
- A printability review and questions about the intended use
- Material, orientation, finish, and prototype recommendations
- The agreed prototype, fit test, or finished local print run
Secure forklift remote holder
- What was needed
- Remotes kept going missing from forklifts in a shop.
- What we made
- We designed a secure, flush-mount holder to keep each remote fastened inside its forklift.
Questions about Prototyping and 3D printing
Can I send a model I downloaded or made myself?
Yes, if you have the right to use it. Supplied files are still reviewed for scale, wall thickness, supports, fit, and intended use before printing.
Which material should I choose?
That depends on heat, impact, flexibility, appearance, and environment. Describe the use rather than guessing; the review can narrow the practical options.
Can you print several copies?
Often, yes. Quantity, print time, consistency requirements, and any finishing work are considered together in the quote.
