Design Flow Automation — 3D Printed Parts & Business Operations Systems
3D printing · Operations systems · Automation

Parts made fast. Operations that run themselves.

We print production-ready parts on demand, and we build the systems that keep a manufacturing business moving: job tracking, live dashboards, connected tools and automated order intake.

Formats: STL · OBJ · STEP Materials: PLA / ABS / ASA / PETG / TPU Systems: MES · Dashboards · Integrations · Quoting Volume discounts to 40%
3D printing · How it works

Four steps. One sitting.

01

Upload

Drop in an STL, OBJ, or STEP file. We render it in 3D and measure its exact volume and surface area.

02

Configure

Pick material, color, infill pattern, and density. The price recalculates live as you change settings.

03

Quote

Add parts to your quote, apply volume discounts, and attach technical drawings for anything critical.

04

Checkout

Pay securely online, choose your shipping speed, and we start printing. Parts arrive at your door.

Business operations systems

One connected system, from quote to shipment.

Most shops run on spreadsheets, inboxes and memory. We build software around how your operation actually works, so every order, job and machine is visible in one place and the busywork happens on its own.

01 · MES & job tracking

Know where every job is

A lightweight manufacturing execution system that follows each order from intake through production, assembly and shipping.

  • Orders, print jobs & work orders in one place
  • Assembly and traceability records
  • Status your team and customers can trust
02 · Live dashboards & OEE

See the floor in real time

Dashboards that show what your machines are doing right now and where capacity is being lost.

  • Utilization, throughput & downtime
  • OEE by machine, shift or line
  • Pulled directly from machine and job data
03 · Integrations & automation

Stop re-typing data

We connect the tools you already use so information moves between them automatically, without copy-and-paste.

  • Quoting platforms, printer APIs, payments & email
  • Webhooks and Make.com workflows
  • Automatic records, alerts & handoffs
04 · Quoting & order intake

Turn requests into paid orders

Customer-facing quoting and checkout that prices from real data and sends clean orders straight into production.

  • Instant pricing from files or specs
  • Secure online payment, priced on the server
  • Orders land in your system with files attached
Proven in our own shop

We run on the systems we build.

Our instant quoting page, secure checkout and automated order handoff are the same kind of system we build for clients. So is the job tracking and printer data behind our own production. Try the quoting page to see it working.

Operations systems · How we work

Start small. Build what pays off first.

01

Review

We walk through how orders, jobs and information move today and find where time and money leak.

02

Map

Together we pick the highest-value fix and plan a system around your real workflow, not a generic template.

03

Build

We build, connect your existing tools and test it with your team before anything changes on the floor.

04

Run & grow

We support the system as you use it and extend it one step at a time as your operation grows.

FAQ

Common questions

What is a business operations system?

It's the software that ties your orders, production jobs, machines and customers together, so everyone works from the same up-to-date information instead of spreadsheets and email threads.

Do I have to replace the tools I already use?

Usually not. We connect what you already have, such as your quoting platform, accounting, payment and printer software, and fill the gaps between them.

What if I have an existing manufacturing process?

That's the best place to start. We map how you work today, then automate and track the parts that cost you the most time, one step at a time.

Can you assist with designing a part?

Yes. Our team will collaborate with you to create a design that fits your needs, then move it straight into production.

Which industries do you support?

We serve various industries, including automotive, aerospace, and consumer goods.

What file formats do you accept?

STL, OBJ, and STEP files up to 50 MB. You can also attach PDF technical drawings for tolerance-critical features.
