3d Printing Ordering Process

Ordering custom 3D printed parts is quick and easy. First, create an account or log in to your existing account, and follow the instructions below.

Step 1: Upload Your 3D Models

Upload your files. You can upload up to 120 files (max 50 MB each).

Units: We prefer files uploaded in millimeters. The function we have to check for thin walls on parts does not support parts uploaded in inches.

Production Time & Shipping

We provide standard or express production options.

  • Cut-Off Time: Orders placed before 2:00 PM MT start same-day; later orders begin the next business day.
  • Ship Date: Automatically calculated based on selected print time + the time of additional services. If multiple print times are ordered, the latest production date will apply to the entire order. If you need some parts from your order expedited, please create a separate order.
  • Pick-Ups: If your order is not picked up in one week (5 business days), it will be shipped to the provided delivery address via FedEx Ground.

Post-Processing & Assembly

We provide a variety of post-processing, finishing, and assembly services.

If you don’t see a service you need, please select the “Other” service option and leave us some notes on what you’re looking for on the next page, we’ll contact you for more info!

Standard Black Dye
RIT black dye on parts is a cost-effective and efficient way to achieve a black coloration without compromising the material’s properties.

DeepDye Coloring
DeepDye will add 2 days to the production time. DyeMansion’s DeepDye Coloring infuses vibrant colors into 3D printed parts by penetrating the material at a molecular level. This process ensures long-lasting, UV-stable hues that won’t chip or fade, making parts suitable for consumer-facing applications.

Vapor Smoothing
Vapor smoothing will add 2 days to the production time. AMT vapor smoothing enhances 3D printed parts by reducing surface irregularities, producing a smoother, glossy finish. This process improves the part’s mechanical properties by increasing strength and Elongation at Break and making it more resistant to wear and moisture. Additionally, it provides an aesthetic boost and makes the part suitable for end-use applications without compromising dimensional accuracy.

PolyShot Surfacing (PSS)
DyeMansion’s PSS technology enhances MJF-printed parts by creating a uniform, semi-matte surface finish through controlled blasting with fine media. This process improves the part’s aesthetics and feel while maintaining tight tolerances and mechanical properties. It also prepares the surface for further treatments like dyeing, ensuring consistent color absorption and professional-grade finishes.

Heat-Set Inserts
Heat inserts are ideal for 3D printed parts because they provide strong, reusable threaded connections that improve durability compared to tapped plastic threads. The heat installation process melts the surrounding material, creating a secure bond that resists pull-out and torque forces. This makes them perfect for applications requiring frequent assembly and disassembly, ensuring longevity and reliability in mechanical designs. We keep many styles of inserts in stock so please include a drawing with the types and quantities required

Cerakote Ceramic Coatings
Cerakote Ceramic Coatings are the industry-leading post-processing finish for the 3D printing and additive manufacturing. Cerakote is known for its superior performance on polymers and metals making it an ideal all-around finish for any 3D printed part. Cerakote is a traditionally applied HVLP coating that provides better overall protection, color consistency and finish variety with over 150 to choose from.

Assembly
We’re happy to help you with any assembly that your product may require. This option will trigger a manual quote review, please include any drawings or additional information on the next page.

Technical Specifications

  • Tolerances: Tolerances vary by technology, material, part geometry, and build orientation. Please refer to our 3D printing guidelines for more details.

 

  • Hollowing & Lightweighting:

    Reduce material, weight, cost and minimize the risk of warping or deformation by hollowing your models. Any section thicker than ~15 mm (0.6 inches) should be considered for hollowing.

    This process will trap unfused powder inside the hollowed part during printing, the powder becomes enclosed and remains there unless intentionally removed. Holes for powder removal can be added but are not required. Please reach out if you would like more information on lightweighting.
