3D3DStart a job →Manufacturing · made to order
Broken, discontinued, or never made — we make the part.
On-demand manufacturing by 3D printing: functional end-use parts in engineering-grade plastics, parts reverse-engineered from a photo or a broken original, and small production runs. Fixed-price quote within 24 hours.
Printed and shipped from New Brunswick, Canada
What we make
End-use parts, not just prototypes.
3D3D turns ideas, broken parts, and production batches into finished physical parts — printed to function, not just to look right. Prototyping, reverse engineering, and small-run manufacturing, all under one roof.
Parts are printed in engineering-grade plastics chosen for the job — UV- and weather-stable ASA, carbon- and glass-filled nylon and PETG for stiffness under load, flexible TPU for seals and grips — then finished and checked before they ship.
Reverse engineering
A photo and a broken part is enough to start.
The part you can't buy any more, the fitting the manufacturer stopped making, the one-off that never had a drawing — measured, modelled in FORMA (our own CAD engine), and reproduced to spec. Once the model exists, you can order one or a hundred.
Materials
Engineering plastics, matched to the load.
ASA / ASA-CF
UV- and weather-stable — outdoor fittings, deck hardware, anything that lives in the sun.
PETG-CF / PA-CF
Carbon-filled — stiff and strong under load for functional brackets and mounts.
Nylon (PA12, PA-GF)
Tough and wear-resistant — gears, bushings, living hinges.
TPU
Flexible and grippy — seals, gaskets, bumpers, soft-touch grips.
Field service
When the part can't come to the shop.
For the right job the shop travels: a printer on site for an event, a boat, or a remote job where shipping rounds of trial-and-fit parts back and forth doesn't work. Scoped per job — enquire by email first and we'll tell you whether a field day is the right call.
How a job runs
From a photo to a delivered part.
- 01
Send the brief
Email a drawing, a photo of the broken part, or a written description with dimensions. Plain language is enough to start.
- 02
Quote within 24 hours
A real person reviews the job and sends a fixed-price quote: material, finish, quantity, and timeline.
- 03
Manufacture
We model where needed, print in the right material, finish, and check the part against the spec. Progress notes at key stages.
- 04
Delivery or field install
Parts are packaged and shipped or picked up. Field jobs are scheduled with a site visit built in.
Send a photo. We make it.

Straight answers.
What can 3D3D manufacture?
Functional, end-use parts by 3D printing: brackets, housings, fittings, gears, bushings, seals, replacement and discontinued parts, and small production runs. If it can be printed in an engineering-grade plastic to do a real job, it's in scope.
Do you do welding or steel fabrication?
No. 3D3D manufactures by 3D printing — functional plastic parts, reverse engineering, and production runs. We don't weld and we don't fabricate steel. High End Welding is a separate company (and a 3D3D customer); if a job needs metalwork, that's their trade, not ours.
Can you copy a part I can't buy any more?
Usually, yes. Send a photo and the key dimensions, or the broken original. We measure it, model it in FORMA, confirm the model with you, and reproduce it — one part or a production run. Reverse engineering starts from $75; complex assemblies are quoted per job.
What materials do you print in?
Engineering-grade plastics matched to the job: ASA and ASA-CF for UV and weather resistance, PETG-CF and PA-CF for stiffness and strength, nylon (PA12, PA-GF) for wear resistance, and TPU for flexible parts. The choice is explained in every quote.
Can you do on-site field work?
Yes — field service, not field welding. For the right job a printer travels to your location, event, or boat. Field days are scoped per job; enquire by email first and we'll tell you whether a field day is the right call.
Do you handle production runs, or just one-offs?
Both. Single-piece repairs and prototypes are welcome, and so are small production batches. Once a model exists, the per-part price drops with the quantity — batches are quoted on material, print hours, and run size.
Who is HEWS?
High End Welding (HEWS) is a 3D3D customer and the sponsor of Mr Jumpa — our 1977 Farr 38 One Tonner on the Saint John River, where printed parts prove themselves in a working environment. 3D3D built HEWS's estimating software (Ironclad) and builds and manages highendwelding.com. HEWS does the welding; 3D3D does the printing, software, and AI.
Is there a minimum job size?
No formal minimum. Single-piece repairs, small brackets, and prototype parts are all in scope. Very small jobs may carry a shop minimum to cover setup time — we state this in the quote before you commit to anything.
