Why Santa Cruz Innovators Print With JawsTec
Santa Cruz is known for its vibrant blend of tech innovation, marine science, and outdoor culture, from UC Santa Cruz research to startups developing sustainable solutions. Manufacturing locally often involves limited capabilities or higher costs.
We offer a strategic alternative:
- Scalability: Unlike smaller local shops, our Idaho facility runs massive banks of HP MJF and EOS SLS machines. We can scale from 1 prototype to 10,000 units instantly, perfect for evolving Santa Cruz projects.
- Speed to Market: Your parts leave our machines and arrive at your lab or office in Santa Cruz, Aptos, or Capitola in as little as 48 hours, bridging the gap from concept to physical product quickly.
- Material Versatility: We specialize in durable and water-resistant materials like Polypropylene and TPU, ideal for marine tech, outdoor gear, and harsh coastal environments, alongside high-performance Nylons for research.
