Manufacturing services
One platform for custom 3D printed parts and machined metal or plastic. Pick a path, open a process page, then upload CAD for a dated quote.
The same buyer path on both 3D printing and CNC: file, process, spec, then price.
STL, STEP, OBJ, or 3MF. One file starts both additive and subtractive options.
Open 3D printing for resin, nylon, or metal powder. Open CNC when stock and tight faces matter.
Compare tolerance, envelope, material, and finish on the process page before you lock the ticket.
Price and lead time sit on the same quote. Pay the line you accept.
Each landing explains the process family. Child pages hold materials, design rules, and typical tolerances.
Use additive when the shape is hard to cut. Use CNC when the drawing calls stock, threads, or tight bores.
Lattices, internal channels, visual models, and 1鈥?00 nylon or resin parts. Change the file between batches without a mold.
Open 3D printing servicesAluminum, steel, titanium, and engineering plastics from plate or bar. Repeatable surfaces and inspection callouts.
Open CNC machining servicesAvis réels d'ingénieurs, designers et passionnés.

Start with what the part must do: the load it carries, the faces that mate, the temperature it sees and the finish the user will touch. AIHFABS manufactures custom parts with industrial 3D printing and CNC machining. A useful manufacturing quote connects those requirements to a material, a process and an inspection plan.
| Part requirement | Consider first | Check before ordering |
|---|---|---|
| Fine cosmetic detail or a visual prototype | SLA, DLP or LCD resin printing | Cosmetic faces, support marks, color and post-curing; a resin described as ABS-like is not machined ABS. |
| Functional polymer housings, clips or short runs | SLS or MJF nylon printing | Material grade, wall transitions, powder removal and fit after dyeing or smoothing. |
| Large concept parts or practical fixtures | FDM thermoplastic printing | Build orientation, layer-direction strength, supported surfaces and assembly strategy. |
| Metal parts with internal passages or complex geometry | SLM metal printing | Support access, powder evacuation, heat treatment and machining allowance on mating faces. |
| Specified stock alloy, bearing seats or controlled datums | CNC milling or turning | Tool access, workholding, internal corner radii and drawing tolerances. |
An appearance model, a fit-check model and a load-bearing prototype can need different materials and processes. For repeat production, keep the approved CAD revision, drawing, material grade, finish and inspection requirements together. Discuss a first article before committing to the rest of the lot when assembly or cosmetic acceptance is still being validated.
Part size alone does not determine cost. Printing cost also depends on build orientation, packing, supports and finishing. Machining cost depends on stock removal, tool reach, setups, workholding and inspection. Specify tighter tolerances only where the function needs them, and identify surfaces that may retain process marks.
Supply a revision-controlled model and a drawing for critical dimensions, datums, threads, surface texture and cosmetic faces. State whether dimensions apply before or after finishing. Material certificates, dimensional reports, first-article checks and other documentation should be requested and confirmed in the quote.
Upload once. Compare 3D printing and CNC on the same geometry before you order.
