Prototype Print

Description

Rapid 3D Printing Prototypes – 1 & 2 Hour Express Prints

Our rapid 3D printing prototyping service is designed for makers, engineers, designers, and small businesses who need fast, affordable prototype parts without the complexity of traditional manufacturing.

These prints are ideal for testing fit, form, and function, validating designs, and iterating quickly during product development. By pricing based on print time and filament usage, we offer a transparent and scalable solution for prototype 3D printing.

How Our 3D Printing Prototype Service Works

We offer fixed 1-hour and 2-hour prototype print options, allowing you to control costs while still receiving professional-quality prints.

🔹 1-Hour Prototype 3D Print

• Up to 60 minutes of print time

• Includes up to 50g of PLA filament

• Best for:

  • Fit checks

  • Small mechanical parts

  • Concept models

🔹 2-Hour Prototype 3D Print

• Up to 120 minutes of print time

• Includes up to 100g of PLA filament

• Ideal for:

  • Larger prototype models

  • Stronger infill requirements

  • Functional testing parts

If your model exceeds the selected time or material allowance, we’ll contact you to upgrade or add additional print time.

Available 3D Printing Materials

We offer multiple filament options to suit different prototyping and functional requirements:

• PLA – Rigid, easy to print, perfect for rapid prototyping and visual models

• PETG – Tougher and more flexible, moisture resistant

• ABS – Higher temperature resistance for functional testing

• ASA – UV-stable, weather-resistant, suitable for outdoor prototypes

Material upgrades reflect increased print complexity, failure risk, and material cost.

Important Prototype Disclaimer

This service is intended for prototype 3D printing only, not final production parts.

• Layer lines and minor surface imperfections are normal

• Cosmetic flaws do not affect prototype usability

• Parts are printed directly from customer-supplied files

• Models should be properly scaled and manifold

File Requirements for 3D Printing

• Accepted formats: STL and 3MF

• Files must be watertight and printable

• If you’re unsure, contact us before ordering

Fast Turnaround

Most prototype 3D prints are completed within 1–2 business days, depending on material and complexity. Express turnaround makes this service ideal for rapid product development and short design cycles.
