Design Services

2D

We offer creation and conversion of 2D designs into industry standard vector files for use in fabrication of products using CNC mills, laser cutters, and in screen printing studios.
We also offer optimization and repair of previously created 2D vector designs for use in fabrication of products using CNC mills or lasers.

3D

We offer modelling services for both 3D CAD and 3D Sculpture file creation. These files can then be 3D printed, CNC machined, or purchased for later use.

Carpentry Design

We assist with designing unique furniture pieces or other items made out of wood.

Fabrication

3D Printing | FDM

The most common and economical type of 3D printing. FDM printing uses layers of heated plastic to build your design literally from the ground up. Our facility offers many FDM printers, currently, the largest build volume for a single material print is 11.8” L x 12” W x 18” H with a layer height of 0.004” (PLA and PLA+ only).
For prints that require special materials, the maximum printable size is 8.3” L x 8.3” W x 9.84” H with a layer height of 0.05 mm. Compatible filament types that can be used on these printers are PLA, ABS, PET, Ninjaflex, and nylon.

3D Printing | SLA

For higher quality prints we have two Formlabs SLA printers that have a maximum build volume of 5.7” x 5.7” x 6.9” with a layer height of 0.001”. These printers use UV-curing resins in a wide range of types—from castable wax and flexible rubber to strong, high-temperature rated resins than can be used to test injection molding.
