Small Batch Production for Custom Needs

Ideal for low-volume runs under 100 units, our rapid prototyping supports custom fabrication without tooling costs. Projects fit best when designs are finalized, with tolerances as low as 0.04 mm possible depending on geometry, material, and review. Discuss finishes like sanding or painting for production-like results.

Common for Charleston firms testing market viability or bridging to full manufacturing. We guide material selection for strength, heat resistance, or flexibility to match your application.

Getting Started with Your Custom Project

Upload STL, STEP, OBJ, 3MF, IGES, or CAD exports for initial review. Provide details on quantity, dimensions, material preferences, and timeline to receive price guidance via email in about 24-48 hours. Factors like complexity, size, and post-processing affect costs, starting from our $200 project minimum.

Expect shipping after completion in about 3-7 days, rarely more than 10. We recommend starting with a quick consultation to confirm fit and suggest optimizations for best results in custom fabrication.
