Automotive 3D Printing for Detroit
What we print for automotive teams
Check fixtures and nests
Locate a molded or stamped part on its datums to confirm fit before production gauges exist.
Assembly and drill jigs
Line-side jigs in PA-CF stay stiff and light enough for an operator to handle all shift.
Clips, retainers and fasteners
Prototype snap-fits in nylon or PC-ABS to test insertion and retention forces.
Interior trim and bezel prototypes
ASA and matte finishes for design reviews where color and texture matter.
EV battery and harness parts
Cable guides, connector holders and cell-handling fixtures in ABS-FR or PC.

What we do not do
Printed parts here are tooling, prototypes and low-volume parts. We do not run PPAP or certify parts to an OEM specification, and we hold no IATF 16949 certification; validate production intent in your own process.
Tolerances: FDM ±0.2 mm typical; SLA ±0.1 mm, or ±0.2% above 100 mm. Production takes 2-5 business days.
