For years, we’ve used our 3D printing to manufacture our own performance products, including air intake systems and engine bay components. After printing tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of parts, we’ve developed a process that delivers reliable, high-temperature components capable of surviving demanding automotive environments. We have tested these products in high-temperature, high-altitude, racing applications, as well as cold temperature environments as well.
Now we’re opening that capability to the public.
How It Works
You provide the design. We handle the manufacturing.
Simply upload your CAD file and describe your project through our print service portal. We’ll review the design, prepare the print, and provide a quote covering printing, annealing, packaging, and return shipping.
Why Use a Professional Print Service?
High-temperature engineering plastics are not the same as hobby-grade materials.
Producing quality parts from advanced engineering filaments requires specialized equipment, expensive materials, and significant experience. Print settings, chamber temperatures, drying procedures, and post-processing all play critical roles in producing a strong and durable final product.
Many designs that print successfully in basic materials fail when moved to true engineering-grade polymers without the proper equipment and process controls.
Our Materials
To ensure consistent quality, we offer only two materials:
PPS-CF (Carbon Fiber Reinforced PPS)
PPS-CF offers excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and stiffness. It is an ideal choice for components exposed to elevated temperatures and harsh operating conditions.
PPA-CF (Carbon Fiber Reinforced PPA)
PPA-CF provides an excellent balance of strength, durability, temperature resistance, and value. It is one of the most practical engineering filaments available for functional end-use parts.
Both materials are offered exclusively in black.
Annealed for Real-World Use
Every part we manufacture undergoes an annealing process after printing.
Annealing improves the strength and thermal stability of the finished component, helping it withstand repeated heat cycles and demanding operating conditions. While the process can result in slight dimensional changes—typically less than 1%—the improvement in durability makes it worthwhile for functional engineering applications.
From Digital Design to Physical Part
Whether you’re prototyping a new product, replacing a discontinued component, or building a custom automotive project, our 3D print service allows you to turn your design into a finished engineering-grade part without investing in specialized equipment.
