File Preparation (STL / STEP)

Send the right file and you get faster quotes + better prints.

Best formats

  • STL → best for printing (final model)
  • STEP/IGES → best if you need design edits or strength improvements
If you want us to improve strength (thicker walls, ribs, better fit), STEP is the best.

Print-ready tips

  • • Avoid ultra-thin walls (ask us for guidance)
  • • Include tolerance for fit parts (clips, lids, assemblies)
  • • Mention if surface finish is important
  • • Share use-case (prototype vs functional vs outdoor)
