Rapid Prototyping with 3D Printing
Iterate in days, not weeks. Upload a revision, get an instant quote, and hold the part this week. FDM for fit-and-function checks, SLA resin when detail matters.

Form & fit checks
Hold the part, test the assembly, check clearances before you commit to tooling. Cheap PLA is perfect for early iterations.
Functional prototypes
PETG and ABS-like filament for parts that need to flex, clip, bear load, or take heat during testing.
Appearance models
SLA resin for smooth, presentation-grade models — pitch decks, photography, investor and customer demos.
Enclosures & housings
Test your PCB fit, button placement, and port alignment before the injection-mold quote.
Built for the iteration loop
Prototyping lives or dies on cycle time. The faster you can go from “tweak the CAD” to “hold the part,” the more iterations you fit before a deadline — and the better the final design. We built the quoting flow around that loop: upload a revision, see the price and lead time instantly, check out on one screen, and skip the back-and-forth email quote that costs you a day every cycle.
There’s no minimum order and no per-quote fee, so ordering a single bracket to check one dimension costs about what the material and machine time are worth — not a padded small-batch premium. Need the same part in three materials to compare stiffness? Order all three; each prices independently.
A real person reviews every file before it prints, so an exported-wrong wall thickness or a non-manifold mesh gets flagged before it wastes a day — not after. Local to Chicago? Pick up in Des Plaines and shave the shipping leg off your cycle time entirely.

Prototyping FAQ
How fast is each iteration?
Most FDM prototypes are ready in 3–5 business days; SLA resin appearance models in 5–7. Local Des Plaines pickup removes shipping time on top.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order a single part. There’s no per-quote fee and no small-batch minimum — early-stage iteration shouldn’t be penalized.
FDM or SLA resin for a prototype?
FDM (PLA/PETG/ABS-like) for fit, function, and strength testing. SLA resin for fine detail, smooth surfaces, and presentation models. Not sure? Upload the file and ask — we’ll recommend.
Can you handle confidential designs?
Yes. Files are stored privately and only used to produce your order. Mention an NDA if you need one in place.
