Our 3D Printing Service
Rapid Prototyping
At Rapid CNC Parts, we understand that innovation requires speed and flexibility. To complement our precision CNC machining services, we are now offering 3D printing as a key part of our prototyping process. This service allows us to quickly bring your ideas to life, offering a faster, cost-effective alternative for creating functional prototypes, design verification models, and low-volume parts.
Whether you're an engineer looking to test new concepts, a product designer refining a prototype, or a manufacturer needing custom components, our 3D printing services can accelerate your development timeline, helping you make informed decisions before moving into full-scale production.
Benefits of 3D Printing for Prototyping
Rapid Prototyping
Create complex designs in a fraction of the time compared to traditional manufacturing methods. 3D printing offers immediate results, speeding up the design iteration process and enabling faster decision-making.
Cost-Effective
Unlike CNC machining, which can involve significant setup time and tooling costs, 3D printing allows for low-cost, low-volume production, making it ideal for prototyping, small runs, and testing.
Design Flexibility
3D printing offers unparalleled freedom in design, enabling the creation of intricate geometries and complex shapes that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with traditional machining methods.
Material Variety
With an array of available materials, we can meet the specific requirements of your prototype, including flexibility, strength, and heat resistance, among other properties.
Available Materials
We stock a diverse selection of 3D printing materials to meet the needs of various projects. Whether you're looking for durable engineering plastics, flexible elastomers, or specialty filaments, we’ve got you covered. Some of the most commonly used materials include:
PLA (Polylactic Acid) – Ideal for basic models and low-stress parts, PLA is eco-friendly and easy to work with.
ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) – A tough, impact-resistant material perfect for creating prototypes that need to withstand higher mechanical stress.
PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) – Combining the strength of ABS with the ease of printing of PLA, PETG is great for parts that require both durability and flexibility.
Nylon – A versatile, high-strength material, ideal for functional parts that require abrasion resistance and flexibility.
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) – A flexible material ideal for parts that require elasticity, such as seals, gaskets, and protective covers.
Specialty Materials – We also offer a range of advanced materials, including composite filaments, high-temperature resistant plastics, and materials designed for enhanced strength and durability in demanding applications.
In addition to material types, we offer a variety of colors to match your design needs, ensuring your prototype looks as great as it functions.

Size & Volume Capabilities
Our 3D printers are capable of printing prototypes with a maximum build volume of approximately 12” x 12” x 12” (300mm x 300mm x 300mm). This allows us to produce parts of varying sizes, from small, intricate components to larger prototypes, all with high precision.
For larger-scale needs, we are happy to accommodate multi-part assemblies, providing you with a fully functional prototype even if it exceeds the individual printer size limitations.
