FDM Additive Manufacturing in Central Ohio
FDM (fused deposition modeling) parts that need to handle real loads and hold up on the shop floor — from a team with 20+ years of CNC, design, and toolmaking.
What FDM Is
A strong, durable process for functional work.
FDM (fused deposition modeling) prints parts by laying down thermoplastic filament layer by layer — a strong, durable process for functional work. It is well suited to jigs, fixtures, tooling, and small-batch production parts: parts that need to handle real loads and hold up on the shop floor. In this shop, FDM is the default for rugged functional prototypes and the workpieces that support them.
Material selection follows what the part needs — FDM when strength and rugged function matter. The work spans jigs, fixtures, functional prototypes, small-batch parts, and tooling, for machine shops, medical device companies, and product developers.

DFM Review
20+ years of CNC, design, and toolmaking behind every part.
Design-for-Manufacturability Review
Before anything goes on a printer, the part gets a design-for-manufacturability (DFM) review: checking the geometry for how it will actually be made, and holding the finished part to a fit, function, and repeatability standard.
That background shapes the work. Decades around production tooling mean parts are designed with the same concerns that decide whether a part fits, functions, and repeats — tolerances, material behavior, and tooling.
