What We Produce
FDM printing across a full range of materials and finishing levels, plus design support from concept to completed project.
Printing
FDM Fabrication
| Service | Materials | Common Applications |
|---|---|---|
Standard Print |
PLA PETG ASA | Prototypes, housings, display models, fixtures, functional parts |
Flexible Print |
TPU95 | Gaskets, grips, wearables, impact-resistant and flexible parts |
Carbon Fiber Composite |
PLA-CF PETG-CF | Lightweight structural parts, brackets, tooling, stiff functional parts |
Multi-Color Print |
PLA PETG | Branded parts, display models, props, figures, signage |
|
High-Detail Print 0.2mm nozzle |
PLA PETG | Fine detail models, dental and medical proxies, miniatures. |
Custom Material |
Specialty / Sourced | Customer-specified or specialty engineering materials sourced per project |
Resin / SLA Printing
High-resolution resin printing enables surface detail and accuracy that FDM cannot match. Ideal for dental models, fine miniatures, jewelry masters, and components where layer lines are not acceptable. Resin capability is currently in development. Contact us to be added to the notification list when it launches.
Turnaround
Project Timeline
Turnaround varies by project. A standard print-only job with a file ready to run typically ships within 3–5 business days. Jobs involving design work, sourced materials, complex geometry, or multi-run production require additional time. Exact timeline is confirmed at quoting. Do not assume a start date until your quote is approved and production is confirmed.
Finishing
Post-Processing Options
Standard Cleanup
Included
Support removal, stringing cleanup, and QC inspection with every order at no charge.
Sanding
Flat-Rate Add-On
Mechanical surface smoothing by hand. Reduces layer line visibility and softens surface texture. Results in a matte or satin finish. Best suited for flat or gently curved surfaces. Surface accuracy is slightly reduced at contact points.
- Under 100g: $15
- 100–300g: $25
- Over 300g: $40
XTC-3D Epoxy Coat
Flat-Rate Add-On
Brush-applied, self-leveling epoxy finish. Bonds to the print surface and fills layer lines without mechanical abrasion. Produces a semi-gloss to high-gloss result. Handles complex geometry better than sanding. Adds a very thin surface layer; not recommended for parts with tight dimensional tolerances.
- Under 100g: $15
- 100–300g: $25
- Over 300g: $40
Finish results vary by part geometry, layer height, and material. A specific finish outcome cannot be guaranteed. We will advise on the best option for your part at quoting.
Design Services
From Concept to File
No file? Our designers can bring your idea to reality starting from sketches, photos, references, or a description.
General Design
Product concepts, enclosures, display pieces, custom hardware and functional parts. We work from whatever reference you have.
Specialist Design
Mechanical engineering, organic sculpting, architectural modeling, and other disciplines requiring domain expertise. Matched to your project.
STL Repair & Optimization
Non-printable or damaged geometry repaired and optimized for production. We advise upfront if a file cannot be salvaged so you can make an informed decision.
3D Scanning
Scan-to-print capability for reverse engineering, replication, and restoration. Physical objects digitized and prepared for production.
Design services are scoped and quoted individually before work begins. A separate design quote is provided and must be approved prior to any design work being performed. Design turnaround depends on project complexity and current queue. Cascade Forge does not guarantee specific aesthetic outcomes. Upon payment in full, the customer receives the design files produced for their project.
File & Project Info
What to Know Before You Submit
Accepted File Types
STL, OBJ, 3MF, STEP preferred. Files up to 25MB can be attached directly to the quote form. For larger files, contact orders@cascade-forge.com and we will arrange an alternative transfer method. No file needed for design service requests.
Build Volume
256 x 256 x 256mm max single piece. Larger projects can be split into sections. Note this in your quote request.
Quantity Runs
Batch printing available for efficiency. Specify count in your quote request and we factor it into pricing.
STL Repair
We assess and advise before any work begins. If a file cannot be fixed we tell you upfront so you can decide how to proceed.
