Functional geometry, reviewed before it becomes a part.

The production path can combine SLS nylon, FDM, DFM, finishing, machining support and sourcing when the requirement calls for it.

Capability stack

Flexible capability with a clear review path.

Start with the part requirements. The process, material, finishing and sourcing plan follow from what the part needs to do.

  1. 01

    Additive manufacturing

    SLS PA12 Gray and configured FDM materials for housings, brackets, fixtures, prototypes, complex geometry and repeat production.

  2. 02

    DFM and geometry review

    Pre-build review of walls, fit interfaces, stress paths, clearances and assembly strategy before the part is released.

  3. 03

    Post-process and assembly prep

    Depowdering, finish planning, insert-ready features, mating checks and practical preparation for downstream integration.

  4. 04

    Machining and supported sourcing

    Machined parts, alternate processes and unusual materials are reviewed and scoped around the complete requirement.

    SLS nylon

    Nylon PA12 Gray powder-bed parts with no support scarring.

  • FDM

    Additive (FDM)

    ABS, PLA+, PETG, Nylon CF and TPU filament parts.

  • CNC

    CNC machining support

    Metal and engineering plastic parts, scoped by engineering review.

  • DFM

    Engineering support

    Practical design-for-manufacturing review before release.

Beyond robots and drones

The same capability serves other hardware programs.

Robot and drone parts are the focus. These are application contexts, not blanket material or certification claims. Final fit depends on geometry, environment, load, documentation and regulatory requirements.
