3D printing for Milpitas electronics and manufacturing.

Milpitas makes electronics, and electronics need housings, covers and handling parts long before any of them are worth tooling for. That gap is what FDM fills: no mold, no setup fee, and a part that can change next week without scrapping anything.

Getting parts to Milpitas

• 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, Milpitas included. Ask for it when you approve the final quote.
• Shipping. We ship within the United States only, and orders over $150 ship free.

Two of the meeting points are in San Jose, and one of those is in North San Jose, the side of the city that borders Milpitas.

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 Milpitas

• Enclosures and housings. Electronics boxes with bosses, vents and fins, like the finned enclosure in our portfolio. PETG is the sensible default and PC takes more heat near a power supply.
• Parts that touch boards. PETG ESD is static-dissipative, for trays, nests and handling parts printed from your CAD.
• Repeat low-volume runs. A handful to hundreds, from the same file, material and profile each time, with volume pricing that steps down as the run grows. See low-volume production.

We print from your CAD. If a fixture or manufacturing aid still needs designing, that part of the work stays with your team.

What to send

A STEP file is best, with a PDF drawing for anything critical. The estimator reads STEP, STL, OBJ or 3MF, prices the part in your browser and keeps the file on your computer until you choose to send the job. Every order has a $30 minimum and no minimum quantity.
