Frequently Asked Questions from Rapid City Clients
Can I pick up my metal 3D printed parts in Rapid City?
We do not have a physical storefront or pick-up location in Rapid City. All metal parts are manufactured at our specialized facility in Idaho and shipped directly to your location. This model allows us to focus on high-volume, cost-efficient production without the overhead of local branches, passing those savings on to you.
Do you work with ITAR-controlled or defense-related projects for Rapid City?
Yes, we regularly handle sensitive and proprietary projects, including those for defense contractors. We are committed to robust data security and confidentiality. You can request an NDA directly through our site before uploading any sensitive CAD files.
What metal alloys are best for my application in South Dakota?
The best material depends on your specific performance requirements. For general industrial use and good strength, Stainless Steel 316L is popular.
