Workhorses, printed carefully

Run on slower, more deliberate profiles and dried before use — the two extra days are why these parts come off the bed without warping or stringing.

Specialty materials, dried properly

Ordered fresh per job, then dried before printing — nylon and polycarbonate absorb moisture fast, and printing them wet ruins parts. The extra days are where the quality comes from.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

Single-color, on purpose

REALIS3D prints functional parts in one color per part — jigs, fixtures, enclosures, brackets, mounts, prototypes. The parts that need to work by tomorrow, not sit in a display cabinet. If your part needs to survive, fit, and ship today, you're in the right place.

Specs that hold across all materials: ±0.25 mm typical accuracy, 0.16 mm fine layer option, hand inspection on every part before it's packed.

Need a material you don't see here? Ask — if the P2S prints it, we can source it.
