Prototypes for Cupertino product teams.

Consumer hardware lives or dies on fit and feel, and the fastest way to settle an argument about either is a part in the hand. The shop is in San Jose, and one of its three pickup meeting points is in Cupertino.

Getting parts in Cupertino

• Local pickup. Tick Local pickup in the estimator and choose one of three meeting points, two in San Jose and one in Cupertino. We email you when the parts are ready to collect, and pickup takes 50% off the shipping charge.
• Delivery by arrangement. We deliver by arrangement across much of the South Bay, Cupertino included. Ask for it when you approve the final quote.
• Shipping. We ship within the United States only, and orders over $150 ship free.

Lead time

Typical parts ship in 3 to 4 days after the final quote is approved. The estimator prices four turnarounds for your exact part, from 4 days on Standard down to 2 days on Ultra Fast, so you see the price of speed before you choose it.

Work that suits Cupertino

• Fit and form checks. PLA is stiff and accurate for checking how parts go together. PETG when the prototype has to survive handling.
• Enclosures and internal structure. Housings, brackets and mounts for the components inside, oriented by an engineer for where the load goes.
• Grips, bumpers and seals. TPU, rubber-like and flexible.

An honest limit: FDM does not give a mirror-smooth cosmetic surface straight off the machine. For an appearance model, say so early and we will tell you what to expect. More in how FDM works.

Confidential work

We are glad to work under an NDA. The estimator reads your CAD in your own browser and sends only its measurements to be priced, so an unreleased design does not leave your computer until you choose to send the job.

Students

Students and school robotics teams and engineering clubs, middle school through university, can price parts the same way. Code STUDENT3DP takes 30% off the parts total for students, middle school through university, and educators (how it works). School ID required. We'll confirm it before your order prints.
