How it works for Cap-Pelé.

Most of what gets asked for around Cap-Pelé is a part that no longer exists: a bracket that snapped, a fitting nobody stocks, a component the manufacturer discontinued a decade ago. In commercial fishing that is a weekly occurrence rather than an unusual event. Send a photo and one measurement, and that is enough to start.

Being outside a big centre is the whole reason this works. In Cap-Pelé the alternative to a printed part is usually an order with a long lead time, a minimum quantity you do not want, or a supplier who stopped making it years ago.

We design as well as print, which matters when the original is broken beyond measuring or gone entirely. Parts are modelled in FORMA, our own parametric CAD engine, so the geometry is exact and repeatable rather than a scan cleaned up by hand. Design is included in the quoted price, and you get a fixed price back within a day, read and answered by a person.

What breaks in a commercial fishing town.

Cap-Pelé runs on commercial fishing, manufacturing, tourism and hospitality. The parts that go missing in that kind of work are rarely the ones a catalogue carries: pump and strainer housings, net-drum and roller components, gauge and electronics enclosures. They are cheap parts that stop expensive things, and they are exactly what a printer is for.

A worked example of the kind of job: a roller guide for a hauler that is out of production and costs more in downtime than in parts. There is no tooling cost and no minimum, so a single replacement is a normal order rather than a favour.

Material matters more here than most places. We would argue for PETG-CF for load-bearing brackets and TPU for gaskets, both of which survive a wash-down deck better than a printed PLA part ever will. The choice is named and explained in the quote rather than left as "plastic", because the wrong material is the single most common reason a printed part fails in service.

Cap-Pelé is also manufacturing country, which brings its own list: assembly and welding fixtures, soft jaws and locating blocks, machine guards and covers. Same process, same fixed quote in 24 hours.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do you print and ship to Cap-Pelé?

Yes. We print in New Brunswick and ship anywhere in Canada, including Cap-Pelé, typically within three to five business days of quote approval. Expedited shipping is available on request.

How much does a custom 3D printed part cost in Cap-Pelé?

Pricing is open and per-gram: PLA from $0.12/g, PETG from $0.20/g, TPU from $0.25/g, ABS from $0.25/g, ASA from $0.30/g. For scale, something like pump and strainer housings is usually tens of dollars in material and machine time, not hundreds. Every quote itemises material, machine time and shipping, and one-offs land well under a machine-shop minimum.

What information do you need to quote a part?

A phone photo of the part (or where it should go) and one rough measurement. A tape measure and a clear photo are enough to start. We reply with a fixed-price quote within 24 hours.

Can you design the part, not just print it?

Yes. Rebuilding broken or discontinued parts from photos is most of our work. We use FORMA, our parametric CAD engine, to generate manufacturable geometry sized to your measurements. Design is included in the quoted price.

Is there a minimum order?

There is no minimum unit count, we print a single part as readily as a run of fifty.

Can you make parts for commercial fishing work?

Yes, and it is a lot of what we do. The recurring asks in commercial fishing are pump and strainer housings, net-drum and roller components, gauge and electronics enclosures. Send a photo of the broken part and one measurement. If the original is gone entirely, we can work from the space it has to fit.

Which material would you use for a commercial fishing part in Cap-Pelé?

Usually PETG-CF for load-bearing brackets and TPU for gaskets, both of which survive a wash-down deck better than a printed PLA part ever will. We name the material in the quote and say why, because choosing it by price rather than by service conditions is the most common reason a printed part fails.
