The part is four weeks out.
The line cannot wait four weeks.
3D printed metal and engineering polymer parts, made from your drawing or a sample, to keep production running while the real component is manufactured.
One specialised component stops everything
It is rarely the expensive machine that stops a plant. It is a bracket, a manifold, an impeller, a guide, a gear, a fixture. Something nobody stocks because only your machine uses it, and the original maker quotes three or four weeks because it is a batch of one.
Send a drawing, a scan, or the broken part
Send what you have
A STEP or IGES file, a 2D drawing, or photographs of the failed component with a rule beside it. We work from any of them.
We come back with a route
Material, process, expected mechanical properties, cost and delivery. Including an honest note on where a printed part will differ from the original.
Printed and finished
Metal or engineering polymer depending on the duty. Machined where a tolerance or a thread demands it.
Shipped direct
Air freight to your plant. Duty and customs handled, quoted landed in Canadian dollars.
Good candidates, and honest limits
Works well
Brackets and mounts, guides and wear strips, manifolds, housings, jigs and fixtures, impellers, gauge and inspection tooling, obsolete parts with no supplier left, and anything where the drawing is lost and the part has to be reverse engineered.
Works with care
Load bearing components, sealing faces, anything running hot, and gears. Possible, but the material and process have to be chosen deliberately and we will say what the part will and will not do.
We will tell you not to
Pressure vessel components, lifting equipment, anything with a code stamp or a safety function, and parts where a printed substitute would void a certification. A fast part is not worth the exposure.
Bridge, not replacement
This is a bridge while the proper part is manufactured. Where a printed part turns out to be the better permanent answer, that is a separate conversation with its own qualification.
Upload the part
STEP, IGES, STL, DWG, DXF, PDF drawings, spreadsheets or photographs. Several files at once is fine.
