CAD Design, Prototyping, 3D Modeling

FROM IDEA TO
READY TO PRINT
We turn concepts — whether sketched on a napkin or mapped out in detail—into accurate 3D models and prototypes built for real-world use, not just looks.
​​



PROTOTYPING
We turn your idea into a working prototype, optimized for real use. Perfect for testing, refining, and getting ready for 3D printing or production.

CAD DESIGN
We create production-ready CAD files for 3D printing, machining, or molding. Just tell us what the part needs to do—we’ll handle the design.

REVERSE
ENGINEERING
We recreate parts with precision—no CAD file needed. Ideal for broken, outdated, or hard-to-find parts needing redesign or replacement.

3D MODELING &
VISUALIZATION
We model your part or product so you can see it clearly before it’s made. Great for checking fit, function, or showing others what you’re building.
OUR DESIGN TECHNOLOGY
We leverage a wide range of technologies in our design process including:
-
3D Scanning: Capture real-world objects and convert them into precise digital models;
-
Virtual Reality (VR) Testing: We test our designs in a fully immersive virtual environment.
-
CAD Design: Use of industry-leading CAD software to create detailed digital models.
-
3D Printing: We bring prototype designs to life quickly with FDM & SLA 3D printing.

How long does a typical 3D printer repair take?The duration of a repair can vary depending on the complexity of the issue and the volume of work we currently have. Repairs typically take anywhere between 1-6 weeks. We aim to provide efficient and timely service to get your printer up and running as quickly as possible, but please understand 3D printer repair, as opposed to other electronic and technical repairs, is a more time consuming process for the following reasons: Iterative Approach: 3D printers are iterative, meaning technicians adjust settings, run tests, and evaluate results, each cycle of which can span hours. We may need to run a 12 hour test print, just to have it fail and be back to square one. Unlike other electronic device repair in which you can make an adjustment and immediately see if it worked, 3D printers require extensive print time for testing. Calibration Needs: Achieving optimal results demands precise calibration involving parts testing, bed leveling, XYZ axis calibration, belt tensioning, and more - all of which is time-intensive. Problem-Solving: Identifying the root cause of a print failure can be tricky. Is it hardware, software, or a design error? Determining this often requires a methodical elimination process- which takes time. Parts Delivery Time: Given the diversity of 3D printer brands and models, sourcing the correct parts can be challenging. While some components arrive quickly, others may take up to 3 weeks, especially if they're specialized or need to be imported. Additionally, parts availability can fluctuate, leading to delays. In some cases, we may need to wait for back-ordered parts, or manufacturers may have extended lead times, further extending the repair process.
