Injection-mold volume. No injection mold.
Two production technologies under one roof in Price, Utah: SLA LCD resin for high-volume parts and SLS powder-bed fusion for engineering-grade components. Upload a CAD file, get a price, get parts — no tooling, no minimums.
SLA vs. SLS, side by side
Two processes, two duty envelopes. Hover a column to compare. Send the file and we'll recommend the right one — or drop-test candidates in both.
| SLA — LCD Resin | SLS — Powder-Bed Fusion | |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet | Photocentric Magna | Formlabs Fuse |
| How it works | UV light cures liquid resin, layer by layer | A laser sinters powder into solid parts — the surrounding powder is the support |
| Sweet spot | parts < 6 in (up to 20 in) | functional parts, complex geometry |
| Throughput | 5,000–60,000 / day per design | full nested builds, no supports to remove |
| Materials | Rigid, high-heat, and rubber-like resins | PA12 nylon today — additional nylon, filled, and elastomeric powders available |
| Heat resistance | up to 270 °C HDT (high-heat resin) | 171 °C HDT (PA12) |
| Detail | 50–250 µm layers — miniature-grade at finest | crisp features, matte powder surface |
| Colors & finish | Black, white, gray, amber + Cerakote coating | Gray/black; dyeable; Cerakote available |
| Best for | High-volume consumer parts, clips, housings, promotional goods | Brackets, enclosures, snap fits, living hinges, jigs & fixtures |
What parts actually cost
Not marketing ranges — these are the middle 50% of real per-part prices across 4,000+ parts quoted through our estimator, by part size and order quantity.
| Order quantity | Small parts (< 6 in) | Medium parts (6–20 in) |
|---|---|---|
| 200 – 999 | $6 – 15 · median $8 | $35 – 170 · median $71 |
| 1,000 – 4,999 | $2 – 9 · median $3.50 | $25 – 135 · median $56 |
| 10,000 – 49,999 | $0.75 – 6 · median $1.90 | $20 – 100 · median $41 |
| 50,000 + | $0.60 – 5 · from $0.30 | $15 – 85 · median $34 |
Per-part price, middle 50% of quoted parts in each class. Resin volume drives your exact number — a thin-walled clip lands near the bottom of its range, a solid chunky part near the top. Upload your file for the real answer in minutes.

Design review
Engineers check printability, strength, and cost — and flag smart redesigns.
Production
Your part runs on the fleet that fits it — resin or powder.
Finish & inspect
Post-processing, optional Cerakote, inspection before anything ships.
Reorder on demand
Files stay in digital inventory — reorders start with an email, not a mold.
