FAQ
Instant quote questions
What file types work?
STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP, IGES and Rhino 3DM files all price instantly in the browser — CAD files are converted to a mesh right on your computer, and the native file travels with your quote so our engineers work from the original. A 3DM saved without render meshes still goes to an engineer for a quote.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum order. Quantity price breaks apply automatically as you raise the quantity, and a small process minimum may apply to very small single parts.
What is the minimum wall thickness?
About 1.0 mm for FDM, 0.4 mm for SLA resin, 0.8 mm for SLS nylon, 0.6 mm for PolyJet and 0.3 mm for castable wax. The estimator flags thin walls and non-watertight meshes before you submit.
How big can a part be?
Up to 350 x 350 x 350 mm in FDM, 353 x 196 x 350 mm in SLA, 330 x 330 x 565 mm in SLS, 490 x 390 x 200 mm in PolyJet and 294 x 211 x 144 mm in castable wax. Larger parts can be split and bonded; ask in the notes.
How fast can I get parts?
Standard turnaround is 3 to 5 business days and rush is 1 to 3 business days. Many FDM and castable wax parts uploaded before noon Pacific can be picked up the same day at our Glendale studio.
Are my files confidential?
Files are analyzed in your browser and are only stored after you submit a quote. We sign NDAs on request and never publish client work without permission.
Can you finish or paint the parts?
Yes. Sanding, priming, painting, dyeing, vapor smoothing, clear coat and optical polishing can be added per part in the estimator or quoted separately.
Do you print in metal?
Stainless steel 316L and titanium Ti-6Al-4V are quoted by an engineer rather than instantly. Select the metal option or use the request form.
SolidWorks, Parasolid, scanning or a material we haven't listed?
Send it to an engineer — we quote anything we can make, usually the same day.
