Capabilities

Materials we currently work with

Equipment, tolerance, and lead times

Printers: Bambu Lab H2D Pro (heated chamber, up to 350 x 320 x 325 mm) and Creality K1 Max (up to 300 x 300 x 300 mm).

Materials in stock: PLA+, PETG, ASA, and TPU. Available on request: ABS, PETG-CF, PA-CF, PAHT-CF, PC, ESD-safe, and flame-retardant grades. Ask about other materials.

Tolerance: typically plus or minus 0.2 mm, depending on the part, material, and geometry.

Scanning: Revopoint MetroY Ultra CMM Edition, with single-frame accuracy of up to 0.015 mm as rated by the manufacturer, for objects from about 10 mm to 2 m.

Finishing: support removal, sanding, heat-set inserts, and painting on request. Critical dimensions are checked with digital calipers.

Lead times: most printed parts ship in 3 to 5 business days. Rush printing with local delivery is available in 48 hours when you supply a print-ready file. Scanning and CAD work is quoted per project.

File handling: our printers run on an isolated network that is never connected to the internet. Please do not upload export-controlled data through the quote form; contact us first.

How scan-to-CAD works

  1. You send us the part, or we come to you.

  2. We scan it and clean up the data.

  3. We build and check the CAD model.

  4. We print a fit-check sample if you want one, then produce the parts.

On-site scanning

Generally, we can travel to customer locations within 100 miles of Easton, Pennsylvania. Check here for our coverage radius. For longer on-site availability, reach us through our contact page.

Reverse engineering

We turn a physical part with no drawing or CAD file into an accurate, editable model — checked against the original before it's used to reproduce or modify the part. Deliverables are a native CAD file (STEP) and, if needed, a dimensioned 2D drawing or a reprinted sample.

3D scanning services

We use a Revopoint MetroY Ultra CMM Edition blue-laser 3D scanner, with single-frame accuracy of up to 0.015 mm as rated by the manufacturer, to capture the exact geometry of a part or piece of equipment from about 10 mm up to 2 m. Scans are delivered as raw data (mesh or point cloud) if that's all you need, or taken further into a clean, editable CAD model — see Reverse Engineering above.

What we do not do

Just to be clear - we do not yet print metal parts or flight-critical structural parts, and we do not hold aerospace quality certifications at this time. If a part needs a certified process, we will say so up front.
