Choose technology suitable for your auto parts

FDM — Fused Deposition Modeling

The fastest and most affordable technology for functional automotive parts—assembly tools, jigs, and prototypes. Tolerance: ±0.25–0.30 mm, ready in 24 hours (express service). Materials: ABS, PA6, PETG.

SLA — Stereolithography

Pure UV resin, smooth surfaces, and precise details—ideal for design prototypes, components with tight tolerances, or aesthetic parts. Tolerance: ±0.10–0.20 mm; delivery in 5–10 business days.

SLS — Selective Laser Sintering

Nylon parts, without supports, suitable for complex geometries and interconnected assemblies. High mechanical strength—the right choice for functional parts subjected to real-world stress. Tolerance ±0.20–0.30 mm.

MJF — Multi Jet Fusion

Sintered nylon with a uniform finish and consistent mechanical properties in all directions. Faster production times than traditional SLS—ideal for small batches of functional automotive parts.

Plastic Injection Molding (Test Mold)

You validate the design and material in small-volume production before investing in a production mold. Useful for aftermarket parts or automotive accessories that are about to go into production.

4.9 / 5.0

5-star reviews

I can definitely recommend this company! Very good quality of prints, and materials. Communication with the customer, willing to help and find the best solution on a truly professional level.

Ich war von Rubens Arbeit positiv überrascht. Er hat unsere unsere Erwartungen Unser Ingenieur gab ihm lediglich eine schematische Darstellung, woraufhin er eine maßstabsgetreue, automatisierte Schweißwalze konstruierte. Leider war die Fortführung die Schweißprojekts aufgrund einer Umstrukturierung in unserem Unternehmen nicht möglich.

They responded promptly to my request, providing the necessary details, and the printed items turned out very well. I am very pleased with the way the collaboration went. I highly recommend!

Super collaboration, they helped me even more. Fast processing and delivery. Piece without problems, according to the model. I highly recommend.

Very relaxing to work with someone who cares to understand the client's need and strive for the highest quality. I have had two atypical jobs and both were done from design to print flawlessly.

THIS IS 3D PRINTING FOR THE AUTOMOTIVE INDUSTRY?

The automotive industry operates with tight deadlines and strict tolerances. 3D printing shortens the path from design to a functional part, whether it’s a prototype for testing, a production tool, or a hard-to-find replacement part.

What we do for you:

Automotive Parts Prototyping — Quickly test the shape and fit of a new part before investing in a mold or a large production run.
Assembly Tools and Fixtures — We design and print custom tools (jigs and fixtures) for assembly or quality control on the production line.
Rare replacement parts — we 3D-scan the original part and reproduce components for older models, so you don't have to wait for an outside supplier.

Materials Suitable for the Automotive Industry:

ABS / ASA — good heat and impact resistance; standard material for under-the-hood parts and housings.
PA6 / PA12 (Nylon) — high mechanical strength for assembly tools and functional parts.
PETG — medium strength, low cost, ideal for rapid prototyping.

What you can send us:

STL, STEP, IGES, 3MF, OBJ, WRL, DXF, DWG or ZIP (up to 200 MB). We offer file verification and manufacturability analysis. Confidentiality agreements available upon request.

STL / STEP ACCEPTED - NDA ON REQUEST

WHAT KIND OF TECHNOLOGY?

FDM, SLA, SLS, or MJF? Find out which method is right for your project.

NEED 3D SCANNING?

Compare cost, durability, thermal, chemical and UV resistance.

DON'T HAVE A 3D FILE?

We design fast and deliver your 3D file (STEP/STL), plus a printed sample FREE 3D - most projects are completed in 2-5 business days.
