Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used for 3D printed parts?
We typically use high-quality filaments like PETG or ABS for automotive parts. These materials are chosen for their durability and high heat resistance, ensuring they don’t warp or degrade inside a hot vehicle cabin.
Are 3D printed parts as strong as original plastic?
While 3D printed parts have different structural properties due to the layering process, our designs are reinforced in high-stress areas to meet or exceed the demands of their specific application.
What is the surface finish like?
3D printed products have visible “layer lines” which are a natural part of the manufacturing process. While we optimize our prints for a smooth finish, some texture is expected. Parts can be sanded and painted if a perfectly smooth OEM look is desired.
Can I request a custom design?
Yes! We specialize in creating niche solutions for vehicle interiors. If you have a specific switch size or a different vehicle model, feel free to contact us to discuss a custom design.
How do I clean my 3D printed parts?
You can clean them using mild soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents or extremely high-pressure washers, as these can damage the surface finish of the plastic.
