Frequently asked questions

STL, OBJ, STEP, STP, IGES and 3MF all work. If your file is over 8MB, paste a WeTransfer, Dropbox or Google Drive link into the quote form instead of attaching it. Don't have a 3D file at all? Our 3D modeling team can build one from sketches, drawings or photos.

Most quotes go out within a few business hours, and complex multi-part projects within one business day. The more you tell us up front — material, quantity, finish, deadline — the faster we can price it.

Yes — we ship finished parts throughout the continental United States, and we offer same-day courier delivery on qualifying orders in New York City and northern New Jersey. Full details are on our shipping page.

For qualifying projects, yes. Send your file early in the day, and if the geometry, material and quantity fit a same-day window, we'll print it at our Newark facility and have a courier hand it to you in Manhattan, Brooklyn or Queens before end of business. Rush availability is confirmed on your quote.

As a rule of thumb: SLA for fine detail and smooth surfaces, FDM for strong, economical parts on a deadline, and SLS for durable nylon parts with no support marks. If you're not sure, pick “not sure” on the quote form and we'll recommend the right process for your part.

PLA, PETG, ABS and flexible TPU on the FDM side; standard, tough, clear and biocompatible resins for SLA; and Nylon PA12 for SLS. Each one has its own page in our materials library with properties and best-fit applications.

No minimums. We print one-off prototypes just as happily as thousand-piece production runs — and repeat single parts are often where rapid prototyping clients start.

Price depends on material volume, process, finish level and turnaround. A small FDM prototype can cost less than lunch; a large-format SLA display piece is quoted per project. Upload your file and you'll get a firm number — quotes are free and carry no obligation.

Always. Uploaded files are used only to quote and produce your parts, are never shared publicly, and are covered by the confidentiality terms in our Terms of Service. If your project requires a signed NDA, mention it in the quote form and we'll countersign yours.

Constantly. Local clients get courier speed, but files arrive from across the country and finished parts ship anywhere in the continental U.S. See every area we serve.

Yes — oversized models are sectioned intelligently, printed in parallel, and bonded and finished into a seamless single piece. That workflow has its own page: large scale 3D printing.

We do. Corporate accounts get a priority production queue, a dedicated point of contact and consolidated monthly invoicing — a good fit for agencies, product studios and firms with recurring part needs.
