What we make
Four capabilities, one shop, one quote. You do not need to know which process your part wants — that is the part we are for.
3D Printing
Three processes under one roof — FDM, SLS, and SLA — so a quote comes back with the process your part actually needs, not the only machine we happen to own. Prototypes through production quantities.
- Fit-and-form prototypes
- Functional, load-bearing parts
- Patterns, molds, and tooling
- Production quantities
3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering
No model, no drawing, and the supplier stopped making it in 2004. Bring us the object instead. We scan parts from marble-sized up to car-sized and hand back clean, manufacturable geometry.
- Marble to car scale
- Legacy & obsolete parts
- Scan-to-CAD deliverables
Engineering & Product Development
A working background in new product development, pointed at your project. We can lead the design, co-design alongside your team, review what you already have, or handle system integration.
- Design lead or co-design
- Best-practice review
- System integration
Production Manufacturing
When additive is the wrong answer we quote the right one instead of talking you into a printer. Injection molding and metal stamping run alongside our printing capacity.
- Injection molding
- Metal stamping
- Volume additive runs
Three processes. One of them is right for your part.
Our own ratings, published plainly, including where each process is weakest. If you are not sure which column you belong in, send the file and we will tell you.
Swipe sideways to compare all three processes
| Attribute | FDM / FFFFused Deposition ModelingProduction-grade thermoplastic, melted and extruded. The first choice for most prototyping, and the least expensive way to hold a real part. | SLS / SLM / DMLSSelective Laser Sintering & MeltingA laser fuses thermoplastic or metal powder. Mechanical properties sit closest to the base material, so these parts go into service, not onto a shelf. | SLA / DLPStereolithography & Digital Light ProcessingLight cures liquid photopolymer. The highest resolution and the finest surface we can produce — and the most brittle, so choose it for detail, not for abuse. |

| Best for | Proof of concept, fit and form, general prototyping | Load-bearing and functional parts, custom manufacturing, intricate geometry | Patterns, molds, tooling, and anything needing very fine detail |
| Standard materials | ABS, PLA, and their blends — carbon fiber, wood-fill, co-polymers | Engineering thermoplastics — Nylon 11, Nylon 12, and composites | Standard, engineering, castable, dental, and bio-compatible resins |
Three ways to get a quote back
Whichever route you take, you hear from us within 24 hours. If you do not, call the shop — that is a mistake on our end, not yours.
Use the form on this page
The fastest route for most jobs. Attach one file, tell us what the part has to do, and send it. You do not need to know the material, the process, or the terminology.
Request a quoteEmail a zipped folder
Best when several models and drawings belong together. Zip them and send the folder tosales@engineeredprints.com.
Upload to our FTP
For large or confidential sets. Ask us for a login and we issue one to you individually — it expires after 24 hours. We recommendFileZilla.
What we need from you
A file, or something to work from
Your CAD model in whatever format you have it. No model at all? Photographs and a few measurements are enough to start — or send us the object and we will scan it.
How many, and what it has to do
One prototype or a production run. Whether it sits on a desk or takes load. If you do not know the material yet, say so — picking it is our job.
When you need it
Tell us the real date. Turnaround starts at 24 hours, and knowing your deadline changes which process we quote.
Files you send are used for quoting your job and nothing else.
The shop that takes the job the big houses turn down
Erick Dickman started Engineered Prints after hitting the same wall over and over: additive manufacturing and engineering services were priced for a corporate program and gated behind a CAD seat and a purchase order. He had spent his career in new product development and knew the work did not have to be sold that way.
So the shop was built from the other end. A homeowner with a broken bracket and an engineering team quoting a production run get the same bench, the same processes, and the same answer inside 24 hours. It is still a family business, and it is still in Cumming, Georgia.
Not knowing CAD has never been a good reason to not get the part made.
- Efficiency
- The quickest route to a working part, not the most billable one.
- Accuracy
- Tolerances stated up front, and held.
- Punctuality
- The date we give you is the date.
- Continuous improvement
- Every job teaches the next one something.
All of it held against the Engineering Code of Ethics.

You will hear back within 24 hours with a real quote or a real question — never an automated reply.
