How it works for Colorado Springs.

Most of what gets asked for around Colorado Springs is a part that no longer exists: a bracket that snapped, a fitting nobody stocks, a component the manufacturer discontinued a decade ago. In aerospace and defence 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 Colorado Springs 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.

Colorado Springs · aerospace and defence

What breaks in a aerospace and defence town.

Colorado Springs runs on aerospace and defence, public sector, technology and startups. The parts that go missing in that kind of work are rarely the ones a catalogue carries: ground-support and handling fixtures, cable routing and clamp blocks, training and mock-up components. 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 ground-handling fixture that would otherwise be a six-figure machined one-off. 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 nylon and carbon composites where stiffness matters, with the caveat that nothing here is a flight-certified part. 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.

Colorado Springs is also public sector country, which brings its own list: signage and wayfinding components, equipment and kiosk mounts, archive and handling fixtures. Same process, same fixed quote in 24 hours.

Getting it there

Shipping to Colorado Springs, Colorado.

We print in New Brunswick, Canada, and ship into the United States regularly. You get a fixed landed price with customs paperwork handled, not an estimate that changes at the border. For a discontinued or bespoke part that argument usually wins on total cost even before the wait for an OEM order that may never arrive.

Every quote is a fixed price with the material, the print time and the shipping itemised before you approve anything. No account, no minimum, and a person reads your message.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do you print and ship to Colorado Springs?

Yes. We print in New Brunswick, Canada, and ship into the United States regularly, including Colorado Springs. You get a fixed landed price with customs paperwork handled, quoted before you approve anything.

How much does a custom 3D printed part cost in Colorado Springs?

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 ground-support and handling fixtures 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 aerospace and defence work?

Yes, and it is a lot of what we do. The recurring asks in aerospace and defence are ground-support and handling fixtures, cable routing and clamp blocks, training and mock-up components. 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 aerospace and defence part in Colorado Springs?

Usually nylon and carbon composites where stiffness matters, with the caveat that nothing here is a flight-certified part. 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.
