Materials
Typical Lead Time
Print parts up to 450mm in a single build — ideal for enclosures, housings, and architectural models that need real-world scale.
Produce durable and reliable prototypes in ABS, PETG, or Nylon for mechanical validation, fit checks, and thermal testing.
Custom production tooling printed on demand. Replace machined fixtures at a fraction of the cost with same-day turnaround.
Go from CAD to physical model in hours. Validate ergonomics, proportions, and design intent before committing to production tooling.
Print 3–5 design versions for the price of a single CNC part. Iterate faster and smarter with affordable FDM prototyping.
Technical deep dive
We analyze your STL, STEP, or 3MF file for printability — checking wall thickness (1.2mm min recommended), overhang angles, and optimal orientation for maximum strength. Layer height, infill pattern, and support strategy are configured for your specific application.
Filament is loaded and pre-dried when needed (Nylon, PETG). The build plate is auto-leveled and nozzle temperature set precisely per material — PLA at 200–215°C, ABS at 230–250°C in a heated enclosure, PETG at 230–245°C.
Thermoplastic filament is extruded through a precision nozzle (0.4mm standard) at 40–100mm/s, building your part layer by layer. Enclosed chambers prevent warping for ABS and Nylon. Multiple printers run simultaneously with real-time monitoring.
Supports are removed and surfaces cleaned. Optional finishing includes acetone vapor smoothing (ABS), sanding, painting, heat-set threaded inserts, and CNC machining of critical dimensions.
Every part is dimensionally verified with digital calipers and checked for defects. Standard shipping across Canada in 2–4 days. Montreal-area clients can choose same-day pickup.
From functional prototypes to production parts, FDM printing offers versatility and cost-effectiveness for large-scale manufacturing needs.
