3D printing: the short version

Building a part layer by layer from a CAD file.

When you need it

  • Prototypes to test fit and form
  • A model before you pay for metal
  • Jigs and fixtures
  • Parts that are hard to machine

What to send the shop

  • A CAD model, such as STEP or STL
  • Material wanted
  • Quantity
  • Machining or finishing needed after

Typical lead time

Print time depends on part size. Shops give the date with the quote.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    Plastic or metal for my part?

  2. Q2

  3. Q3

    How strong is a printed part?

Questions

3D printing FAQ

Who 3D prints parts in the Cleveland area?

Photex in Solon offers in-house FDM 3D printing with CNC machining. Extreme Green Fabrication in Mentor prints working concepts from your design.

Can I print a prototype before metal?

Yes. All-Type Welding and Fabrication in Cleveland uses a 3D printer for prototypes before it makes metal parts.

Good to know

  • Send a STEP or STL file. Say what the part must do.
  • Ask if the shop prints in plastic, metal or both.
