01
Submit the design and application
Send the file, use case, quantity, and any important project constraints.
Additive Manufacturing
3D printing for functional prototypes and low-volume parts.
Obsidra uses additive manufacturing to produce complex custom geometry, shorten prototype cycles, avoid unnecessary tooling, and manufacture small quantities efficiently.
When additive manufacturing makes sense
Use it when the process fits the part.
Rapid prototype iterations
Complex or internal geometry
Customized components
Low production quantities
Replacement parts
Jigs and fixtures
Research components
Parts that would require expensive conventional tooling
Application before material
Material selection begins with the part's purpose.
We review strength, impact, heat, flexibility, detail, finish, environmental exposure, fit, and quantity before recommending an available option.
Available material categories
Broad options for project review.
General-purpose rigid materials
Tough or durable materials
High-detail materials
Flexible materials
Heat-resistant materials
Performance materials
Not every part should be printed
The process should fit the project.
Geometry, quantity, tolerances, surface requirements, material needs, and end use all affect whether additive manufacturing is appropriate. We review the project before production instead of automatically printing every submitted file.
From file to finished part
A review-first production process.
02
Review manufacturability and requirements
We check whether additive manufacturing fits the geometry, use, material needs, and quantity.
03
Confirm material, finish, quantity, cost, and timing
Production starts only after the scope and quote are approved.
04
Manufacture and post-process
Parts are manufactured and finished according to the agreed project scope.
05
Arrange pickup, delivery, or shipping
Completed parts can be prepared for the fulfillment method that fits the project.
