What it is

Production 3D printing, in one paragraph

Production 3D printing makes finished plastic parts directly from a digital file, layer by layer, on printers running the same approved settings. There is no mold to build, so there is nothing to pay for or wait on before the first part. Pluribus Manufacturing runs production orders from a single part to thousands in PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU and carbon-fiber nylon, with first parts printed in 2–3 business days.

The problem with molds

A production mold costs tens of thousands before it makes one part

Injection molding is built for huge quantities of one unchanging shape. For everything else, the tool is the problem: it is expensive, it is slow, and it freezes your design.

Printing vs injection molding

Eight reasons to print your production run

01

No tooling bill

A mold is paid for in full before you have sold a single part. Printed production has no mold, so your first dollar goes into parts you can ship, not into a block of steel.

02

Parts in days, not months

A mold has to be designed, machined, sampled and corrected. A print run starts from your file: first parts are printed in 2–3 business days and the run follows.

03

Change the design whenever you want

A mold locks the design. Every change means reworking or replacing the tool. With printing, a revised file is simply the next batch, so customer feedback goes straight into the product.

04

Order what you can sell

Molding makes sense only in large batches, so you buy and store months of inventory. Print 50 this week and 50 next month, and keep your cash and your shelf space.

05

Shapes a mold cannot make

No draft angles, no parting lines, no side actions. Internal channels, undercuts, lattices and several pieces combined into one part print as easily as a plain block.

06

Every version in one run

Left and right, small, medium and large, custom text on each one: a mold makes one shape, but a print run can hold a different part in every position on the plate.

07

Nothing to store or maintain

Molds need storage, maintenance and eventually replacement, and moving one between suppliers is slow and costly. Your production tool here is a file.

08

Test the market first

Launch with real, sellable parts before committing to tooling. If the product takes off and a mold makes sense, you order it with a proven design and real sales behind it.

The math

What the mold adds to every part

Take a $50,000 mold and divide it across your order. That is the tooling share of each molded part before plastic, machine time or shipping. Next to it is the full price of a printed part: a PETG bracket, 50 × 30 × 40 mm.

Is it right for you?

Printing is the right call when

  • ✓You need parts this month, not next quarter
  • ✓You are launching a product and want sales before tooling
  • ✓Demand is in the tens, hundreds or low thousands per year
  • ✓The design is still improving
  • ✓You sell several sizes or versions of the same part
  • ✓The part has undercuts, internal features or would need a complex mold
  • ✓You need spares for equipment that is no longer supported
  • ✓You want production in the USA with your files kept private

Planning a mold later? Print the first runs now, start selling, and tool up once the design and the demand are proven. That is bridge production, and it is what this service is built for.

Expanding · Yuma, Arizona

A new 5,000 sq ft plant, built for production runs.

Demand for production work has outgrown one shop. We have started setting up a new 5,000 square foot facility in Yuma, Arizona, dedicated to production runs.

Printers run around the clock, so power is a real part of every part's cost. Energy costs less in Arizona than in California, and that saving goes into lower prices per part. More floor space means more printers on your run at once, and faster turnaround on large orders.

Large production runs will ship from Yuma, in the middle of the Southwest, and faster shipping options are offered on every order.

Quality

What we check on every order

General tolerance is ±0.5% with a lower limit of ±0.5 mm; small features are typically within ±0.2 mm. FDM parts show light layer lines; that is normal for the process.

  1. Check 01

    File check before printing

    Every file is sliced with the settings for your material before we quote it, so thin walls, missing geometry and parts that are too big show up before you pay.

  2. Check 02

    First part approval on runs

    For runs of 50 parts or more we print one part and send you photos, or the part itself, to approve before the batch starts.

  3. Check 03

    Dry material

    Nylon, carbon-fiber blends and TPU absorb moisture, so they are dried before printing to keep layers bonded and surfaces clean.

  4. Check 04

    Every part looked at

    Each part is checked by eye before packing: layer bonding, warping, stringing and surface defects. Supports are removed completely.

  5. Check 05

    Critical dimensions measured

    Tell us which dimensions matter and we measure them with calipers before the order ships.

  6. Check 06

    Reprint if we got it wrong

    If a part has a print defect that is our fault, send a photo within 48 hours of delivery and we reprint it at no charge.

Production 3D printing FAQ

Is 3D printing cheaper than injection molding?

For small and medium quantities, yes. Injection molding needs a mold first, and a steel production mold commonly costs $50,000 to $70,000, with large or multi-cavity tools passing $100,000. A production mold also takes months to design, machine and sample, and that cost is spread over every part. On a 100-part order a $50,000 mold adds $500 to each part before any plastic is molded. Printed production has no tooling cost, so the price per part is low from the very first part.

How many parts before a mold pays for itself?

It depends on the part, but for small plastic parts the crossover is usually well into the thousands of identical pieces, and with a $50,000 to $70,000 production mold it can be tens of thousands. Below that, printing costs less in total. Above it, many companies still print because they need parts in days, expect design changes, or do not want to hold inventory.

Can 3D printed parts be sold as finished products?

Yes. Printed parts in PETG, ABS, ASA, TPU and carbon-fiber nylon are used as final parts in products, machines and vehicles every day. We print in real engineering plastics, check every part before packing and hold a general tolerance of ±0.5% with a lower limit of ±0.5 mm.

How many parts can you produce?

From one part to runs in the thousands. Up to 100 of a part is priced instantly online. Every run over 100 parts is custom quoted for your part, material and schedule.

What is the minimum order?

One part. A single prototype and a production run are set up the same way, so you can start small and scale the same part.

How long does a production run take?

First parts are printed in 2–3 business days. The schedule for the full run depends on print time per part and quantity and is written on your quote. Runs can ship in stages, so you receive parts while the rest are printing.

How do you keep a large run consistent?

The whole run prints from the file, material and settings you approved on the first part. Moisture-sensitive materials are dried before printing, every part is checked by eye before packing, and the dimensions you flag are measured with calipers.

Which materials can you run in production?

PETG, PETG Matte, TPU 95A, TPU 90A, ABS, ASA, PETG-CF, PA6-CF, PAHT-CF. PETG suits most indoor parts, ASA handles sun and weather, ABS handles heat, TPU is flexible, and carbon-fiber nylon is for stiff, load-bearing parts.

Where are the parts made?

In the USA. We print in San Diego, California, and we have started setting up a new 5,000 sq ft production facility in Yuma, Arizona. Lower energy costs there let us offer lower prices and faster turnaround on production orders, and large production runs will ship from Yuma.

Will you sign an NDA, and are my files secure?

Yes. We sign and return an NDA within one business day, before you send files. Files are priced on our own server with no internet connection, and our printers run on a segmented network under our own internal control and storage systems, not a cloud printing service.

Can you provide a certificate of origin?

Yes, on request. Parts are manufactured in the USA, US-made PETG, ABS and ASA filament is available for orders that need domestic material, and we supply a signed certificate stating the place of manufacture and the material's origin.

Can I pay by purchase order?

Yes, for approved business accounts. Tell us on the quote request, or use Pay by purchase order on the instant quote page.

How do I get a quote for a production run?

Fill in the form on this page with the part, the quantity and when you need it, or email [email protected]. You get a price per part and a schedule within one business day. For 100 parts or fewer, the instant quote page prices your file in seconds.
