3D Printing That Ships To Washington.
Federal procurement at a scale nowhere else matches, plus contractors and research institutions. We print in New Brunswick in engineering materials (ASA, PETG, ABS, TPU) and ship in days. Quote in 24 hours, no tooling cost.
Serving Washington
How it works for Washington.
Most of what gets asked for around Washington is a part that no longer exists: a bracket that snapped, a fitting nobody stocks, a component the manufacturer discontinued a decade ago. In public sector that is a weekly occurrence rather than an unusual event. Send a photo and one measurement, and that is enough to start.
In a city the size of Washington the problem is rarely finding a supplier, it is finding one who will take a single part seriously. We will: one part is a normal order here, quoted at a fixed price, with no minimum and no tooling cost.
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.
Washington · public sector
What breaks in a public sector town.
Washington runs on public sector, education and research, technology and startups. The parts that go missing in that kind of work are rarely the ones a catalogue carries: signage and wayfinding components, equipment and kiosk mounts, archive and handling fixtures. 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 mounting bracket for equipment installed before the current supplier existed. 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 ASA outdoors, PETG indoors, with documentation of the material in every quote for procurement. 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.
Washington is also education and research country, which brings its own list: teaching models and manipulatives, lab and workshop fixtures, museum and display mounts. Same process, same fixed quote in 24 hours.
Getting it there
Shipping to Washington, District of Columbia.
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.
One operator, atoms and code.
Most people arrive needing one of these and leave having found out we do the rest. All of it is the same person and the same fixed-price, plain-language process.

Questions
Straight answers.
Do you print and ship to Washington?
Yes. We print in New Brunswick, Canada, and ship into the United States regularly, including Washington. 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 Washington?
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 signage and wayfinding components 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 public sector work?
Yes, and it is a lot of what we do. The recurring asks in public sector are signage and wayfinding components, equipment and kiosk mounts, archive and handling fixtures. 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 public sector part in Washington?
Usually ASA outdoors, PETG indoors, with documentation of the material in every quote for procurement. 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.
