What people actually order

A material page answers what PETG is. These answer the question a buyer arrives with, which is what to use to make the thing they need. Four pages, because each one names a job this shop runs every week rather than a category that sounded good.

Central aisle of the production hall with a run of enclosed FDM printers down each side, on the upper shelves and at floor level — The main aisle. Machines on both sides, upper shelf and floor deck.

3D printed jigs and fixtures

A jig or fixture holds a part in one repeatable position while something is done to it, and it is the single most common thing a manufacturer prints.

3D printed spare and replacement parts

Printing a spare part is the practical answer when the original is discontinued, the minimum order from the manufacturer is a thousand pieces, or the machine is down now and the lead time is six weeks.

3D printed enclosures and housings

A printed enclosure is the fastest route from a working circuit to something that can be put in front of a customer, and for production runs under a few hundred it stays cheaper than a mould.

Short run production 3D printing

Short run production means making tens to a few thousand real parts without cutting a mould, and it is where a print farm rather than a single machine changes the answer.

FDM against resin settles the process, and the material comparison settles the material.
