3D Printing Partner Program for Machine Shops

You keep the customer.
We do the work.

Some parts can't be machined. Others just won't fit in your schedule with lead times where they are. Partner with us and you can still say yes to those jobs. We print the parts, you deliver them under your name, and it doesn't cost your shop a thing.

The opportunity

Say yes to the jobs you're turning away

Every shop has them. A part with internal channels no tool can reach. A lattice bracket. A small run that would tie up a machine for a week. Or a good job you just can't schedule right now.

Instead of sending that customer somewhere else, send the files to us. We'll print the part with the right process and material, and you deliver it under your name.

  • 01
    Geometries you can't machine

    Internal features, organic shapes, lattices and consolidated assemblies.

  • 02
    Work you don't have time for

    Extra capacity, so a long backlog doesn't cost you the order.

  • 03
    Materials you don't run

    High-performance polymers, composites, ceramics and printed metals.

Partnership at a glance

Free to join. Your customer, your price.

There's no fee and no minimum. We send you our cost before any work starts, and you decide what to charge your customer. How much you promote the service is up to you, and we'll support you as much as you'd like.

How it works

From your customer's RFQ to delivered parts

01

Send the job

Send us the part files, drawings and material data sheets for your customer's job.

02

Approve the cost

We recommend a process and material and send you our cost. Nothing starts until you approve it, and you set your own price with your customer.

03

We print & ship

Once you approve, we print the parts and ship them to you. You get the invoice when they ship.

04

You QA & deliver

Check the parts against your customer's spec when they arrive, then deliver them.
