Why Trust Us?

Industrial 3D Manufacturing

We use the most advanced manufacturing technology and materials to provide you with professional and market-ready products.

Fast Turnaround

Our quick turnaround times ensure that you’ll get your prototypes back faster than you would with traditional manufacturing processes.

Reliable Quality

Accurate and repeatable printing process allows you to print your products with precision every single time.

Injection Molding

Injection molding is one of the most efficient and scalable manufacturing processes for high-volume production. By injecting molten material into precision-engineered molds, it enables the fast, repeatable production of complex parts with exceptional consistency. Once cooled, components are ready for use with minimal post-processing, making injection molding ideal for cost-effective, large-scale manufacturing.

Materials

Shapeways offers a variety of options for injection molding, whether your parts require materials like thermoplastics, nylons, or metal.

Traditional Manufacturing

CNC Machining

CNC machines are powerfully automated, with their work centered around your product. Parts are constructed through the removal of material to create a desired structure.

Sheet Metal

Sheet metal fabrication consists of numerous traditional manufacturing processes to create durable, high-quality metal structures.

Vacuum Casting

Vacuum casting is a versatile, yet traditional manufacturing method for mass production of parts, relying on a vacuum to draw liquid into a mold where it solidifies into the required structure.

Machine Tooling

Industrial machine tools are used to make molds to create high-performance parts out of metals like steel and aluminum.

Urethane Casting

Polyurethane is heated, poured into 3D printed molds, and left to solidify into the desired structures. Urethane casting is relied on to manufacture large volumes of plastic parts quickly and easily.
