Ultimate 3d-Changing how we price lower quantity part runs!
At Ultimate 3D we excel at large production runs. As a result, we compete with injection molding prices when you amortize the tooling into the mix.
We have come to realize that our pricing structure is inhibitive to the onesie, twosie quantities. Hence, we have restructured how we price your parts.
That said, if you have sent us parts to quote for small quantity runs and prototypes and found our price to be slightly too high, give us another shot at your projects!
With 1 week or less lead times, you have your parts in hand very fast. Put us to the test and see why we are an industry leader when it comes to customer service and competitive pricing.
Email us your files, tell us how many parts you want pricing for and which material you prefer. Include your contact info so we can give you a call to discuss how we can best serve your project needs!

Ultimate 3D now Finishing 3D Printed Parts
Finishing 3D Printed Parts
We have teamed up with a world class Painter/Finisher to help bring your prototype and production parts to life. Finishing 3D printed price.
We offer a full spectrum of colors, once the color is decided you can chose a finish from Flat to Full Gloss finishes.
Your parts are sanded smooth, then filler primer is applied. At this point the parts are wet sanded. Then the color of choice is sprayed on. Once the color is on, a clear coat is applied in the desired finish (Flat to Full Gloss).
If you have a proof-of-concept project that you need in a hurry, we can print the parts in a week. They painted in a matter of days and shipped to you overnight!
The project below was printed in our SLS machines using Nylon 12 material. The parts also received 2mm heat staked threaded inserts for assembly purposes.

WHAT WE DO
It is called “rapid prototyping” for a good reason. Once your CAD file ready, we will usually print your parts within three to four days – faster if necessary.
(Higher volume orders may require extra time).
We specialize in high quantity production parts and are very competitive with injection molding on lower volumes. It is possible to make thousands of one part faster and lower priced than injection molding when you amortize the cost of tooling into the part cost in many cases.
We can print parts that cannot be injection molded, due to under-cuts, hollows, holes on an angle and complex geometries.
We gladly review all models for printability and cost effectiveness and give constructive feedback for your benefit.

Do you create CAD models?
While we have extensive experience and understand CAD, it is not the focus of our business. However, if you have the need for design work, several of our customers are also designers that we recommend for such services. If you have a model you need someone to look over to make sure it’s fit for printing, we can definitely do that and make suggestions when needed.
Can you print in color?
We don’t print with colored materials, but we can dye the finished products a variety of colors. We can also paint parts and apply hydrographic patterns.
What materials do you use?
Our standard material is Nylon 12, with composite variations.
Nylon 12 (durable white plastic)
Glass-filled nylon
Carbon fiber-filled nylon
Fire retardant nylon
Alumide (Aluminum filled Nylon)

Hydrographic Print Finishes
The Team at Ultimate 3 D are now offering Hydrographic Print Finishes!
If you have a project that requires a custom finish we now offer hydrographic prints from TWN Industries.
We have taken on the task to learn and implement this discipline into our mix of finishes which include:
Dyeing parts – Black, Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Purple and fucsia.
Painting parts – most any color available at a quality paint store.
Among the many Hydrographic prints available, Carbon Fiber is the most requested, first we dye the part black, then take the part thru the “dipping” process to adhere the Carbon pattern to the part. Once dry the part is coated with either a Matte Clear or a Gloss Clear, your choice. Our opinion is that the matte clear gives the most Carbon Fiber like look.
Below are a few of the patterns available from TWN Industries.
For a more exhaustive list please visit http://www.watertransferprinting.com/film-gallery .

A Couple Of Quadcopter Parts Before And After:
A Prosthetic Finger with 527-Cork pattern applied.
Pricing will depend and the size of the part and the complexity of the shape. The minimum per part will be $50 and going up from there after evaluating the project.
Visit the TWN gallery: http://www.watertransferprinting.com/film-gallery , tell us which pattern you desire when you submit your model for a 3D Print quotation, we will quote your part with and without the pattern,
There are few companies that offer this service and we are proud to be counted amongst the few and to stand out not just for our excellent 3D printing capabilities, but also for our unique finishing abilities!
Submit quotes to info@ult3d.hookdm.net then give us a call, we will be happy to discuss your project with you!
3D Printing with Nylon: Why we love it, and you should too
As many of you may already know, nylon is a thermoplastic. If you're 3D printing with nylon materials, you're either using a powder that hardens into durable plastic when melted by a laser, or you're using a plastic filament that's extruded through a nozzle. Nylon has unique properties that make it a preferable material to print with in many cases.

Why should you print with nylon?
Compared to other common 3D printing materials, nylon has quite a few advantages, which we will discuss in this post. Whether you’re considering printing your own products, or you want to order products from a third party, this should give you an introductory understanding of 3D printing with nylon.
Nylon is a thermoplastic, which allows it to be reused—whether printing via FDM or SLS. In an FDM context, the plastic can be melted and re-melted. However, the properties will change with heat and begin to break down. Most of the excess powder from SLS can be reused. Reusing nylon in the context of selective laser sintering means recycling the unaffected powder and mixing it proportionately with virgin powder to ensure that the materials continually perform their best during the build process.
We’ve made a basic list of the benefits of nylon in 3D printing. If you have any questions about these benefits or other properties of nylon, feel free to call or email us with your questions.
Benefits of 3D printing with nylon:
- 3D printing with nylon makes a much stronger part, if your other variables are correct.
- You’ll get better pliability with nylon, which can make for a more functional part.
- Typical nylon parts can be drilled, tapped, and tumbled without risking breaking or scratching the parts (unless they have incredibly thin details or appendages, in which case you want to handle parts carefully). This allows you to explore different finishing and assembly options with a low risk of breaking or damaging parts.
- Nylon is lightweight compared to many other traditional materials.
- Nylon is relatively absorbent, so dying parts printed with nylon works very well because a scratch won’t ruin the exterior. However, this also means if you print something like a coffee cup in nylon, it can end up stained unless you give it a protective finish.
- Nylon can be reused for 3D printing, which looks different depending on the type of 3D printing you’re doing.
Printing with nylon will be different depending on the method—be it selective laser sintering or fused deposition modeling. However, most of the benefits are the same, to different degrees. Keep in mind that different 3D printing technologies have different strengths and limitations, regardless of the printing material.
Pro tip! Nylon easily absorbs water from the air, so it needs to be kept in a dry storage environment.
