    If you want to chat with us first, you can call or text us at (212) 287-5261 .

  • Yes, we recognize the importance of protecting your intellectual property designs and ideas. We’re open to participating in client NDAs before reviewing or printing your part(s). Email us your NDA.

  • Yes, we offer flexible 3D manufacturing contracts to help make your production costs more predictable and adaptable to the needs of your business. Contact us to discuss your project and for more information on volume production options.

  • Our 3D printing expertise spans automotive, architecture, construction, product design, art, marketing, fashion, medical devices, and industrials.

    We’ve worked on presentation models for architecture firms, custom car parts, retail space signage, replacement construction parts, drones, jigs and fixtures, and electronics housing.

Working with Jett 3D

  • The cost of 3D print depends on many factors such as the size of the part, material needed, complexity of the design, color of the part, and printing process used. To provide an accurate price estimate, please email us a 3D model (preferably .STL or .OBJ).

    The cheapest material is usually PLA, which is good for prototypes and display models. If you need your parts to function or withstand stressors, resins, nylon or metal will likely be a better option.

  • We recommend that the final export is as a .STL or .OBJ file extension. These are the most compatible with CAD software and for 3D printing preparation. Send us your CAD file.

    Prior to 3D printing, 3D files from software such as Blender, Fusion, Zbrush, Maya, and Solidworks can be used to convert into 3D printable files.

  • Most 3D printing projects follow a similar workflow — first a sketch, drawing or CAD file is created to show an idea in 2D.

    Next, the 2D file is converted into a 3D printable model file using 3D software (e.g. Blender, SolidWorks, Fusion360).

    Once the 3D STL files are created, they are uploaded into a slicer for 3D printing that outputs gcode that the printer can read.

    Lastly, the gcode is sent to the printer and the parts form layer by layer using the specs in the gcode.

  • 3D printing and additive manufacturing are interchangeable ways of talking about the process of building up a part layer by layer. This term encompasses a range of 3D printing technologies such as FFF/FDM, SLA, MJF, SLS, etc. Read more about 3D printing.

Technology Specifics

  • 3D printing is a disruptive technology that is changing the world by making it possible for nearly anyone to create physical products.

    You no longer need to spend significant amounts of time and money creating prototypes or wait months for low-volume production runs of specialized parts. 3D printing allows for low-cost, flexible design, and production of parts.

  • 3D technology is being used in a variety of ways to solve manufacturing problems and print useful things. This includes prototyping new products for validation purposes, creating architectural models that help with stakeholder communication, and designing end-use parts that can be used in real-world settings. Currently, the technology is even being used to 3D print houses and 3D print cars.

  • There are a number of career paths one can take in the additive manufacturing industry. Engineers are needed for creating sophisticated design files, building and repairing printers, and operating machinery and software. Industrial and product designers help clients create parts that are most useful to their stakeholder. Project and production managers keep projects on task to ensure customer success.
