Frequently Asked Questions

What materials do you use for custom prints?

We primarily use ABS-GF and PETG for strong, functional parts designed for real-world use. ABS-GF (glass fiber reinforced) offers exceptional heat resistance up to 100–105°C, while PETG provides great impact resistance and is suitable for outdoor applications. We also offer ASA, TPU, PA6-CF, and other engineering-grade filaments.

Do you offer custom 3D printing services?

Yes — we offer custom FDM 3D printing for individual parts, small production runs, and prototypes. Upload your STL file on our quote page to get an instant estimate, or contact us to discuss your project.

Do you ship to the United States?

Yes, we ship across Canada and the United States via Canada Post. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on your location.

How long does a custom print order take?

Most orders are printed and shipped within 3–7 business days depending on complexity and material. We'll confirm the timeline when we review your quote.

What file formats do you accept?

We accept STL files for our online quote generator. For other file types like STEP, OBJ, or 3MF, contact us directly and we can work with you.
