CAD design service
Fusion 360, FreeCAD, OnShape. Design from a sketch, a photo, or measurements. Often the first round is a quick model to confirm we are on the same page.
Custom CAD work and 3D printing through my own shop, WestSide3D. Replacement parts, prototypes, brackets, mounts, custom hardware, art pieces. Designed in CAD, printed on professional FDM and resin printers, finished in-house. From quick replacement parts to full product prototyping runs.
WestSide3D is my 3D printing operation. Multiple printers, real materials inventory, in-house finishing. Different from a marketplace middleman.
I run the printers. I do the finishing. You get one number to call.
Most "3D printing services" are middlemen who pass your file to a print farm somewhere and mark it up. I am the print farm. WestSide3D runs multiple FDM and resin printers, stocks materials in dozens of colors and types, and does its own post-processing including sanding, painting, and assembly.
That means faster turnaround, real conversations about material choice and orientation, and someone who actually knows what your part will do versus just what your file says. If a design will not print well, I tell you before the printer starts and we fix it together.
CAD design is included for projects that need it. If you have a part that broke and you can describe it, often I can model and print a replacement faster than ordering an OEM. If you have a product idea, I can help iterate from sketch to working prototype.
The standard set of work that comes with every project.
Fusion 360, FreeCAD, OnShape. Design from a sketch, a photo, or measurements. Often the first round is a quick model to confirm we are on the same page.
PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU, PC, nylon, carbon fiber composites. From small functional parts to large enclosures up to 300mm cubed.
High-detail SLA prints for miniatures, jewelry prototypes, dental models, intricate art. Tolerances down to 0.05mm.
Choosing the right material is half the battle. PLA for display, PETG for outdoor, ABS for impact, TPU for flex. I know which one your project actually needs.
Sanding, priming, painting, assembly, threaded inserts, electronics integration. Parts come out finished, not raw off the bed.
Iterate on a design through multiple revisions. Cheaper to print three versions and pick the best than to over-engineer the first one.
Broken plastic part on something you own? Often a quick model and print fixes it cheaper and faster than an OEM replacement.
Multiple identical prints for product runs, inventory, giveaways, events. Pricing scales reasonably with quantity.
Have an old part with no documentation? Calipers, photos, and CAD knowledge can produce a working replica.
Real categories of work that come through the shop. Yours might fit here or might be its own thing.
Something broke. Old appliance plastic, model parts, equipment housings. Often cheaper and faster than OEM.
From $25Wall mounts, equipment brackets, camera mounts, monitor arms. Sized exactly for your situation.
From $45You have a product idea, you need physical samples. Iterative design through multiple revisions until it is right.
From $295Custom housings for Raspberry Pi, Arduino, custom PCBs. Threaded inserts, ventilation, cable management.
From $95Miniatures, terrain, board game inserts, dice towers, organizers. Resin printed for detail.
From $35Wearable armor pieces, props, weapons (display only). Multi-part prints, surface finishing for paint.
From $195Decorative objects, sculpture work, custom signage, lithophanes. Larger format and finished.
From $145Specialty fixtures, jigs, alignment tools, custom one-offs for trades that need specific shapes.
Project-basedBring me the broken part, I produce a working replica. Calipers, photos, CAD modeling, then print.
From $145A sample of what gets used. Stack chosen per project based on what fits.
Bigger picture: see the full toolbox on the homepage. Stack is chosen per project.
If your question is not here, just ask. The first email is the right place.
Projects often pull from a few of these at once.
