3D printing service in San Francisco, San Francisco County

Additiv3 fills that gap with FDM and SLA printing, heat set insert installation and design support, delivering to San Francisco by shipment or by local pickup at our South Bay shop.

San Francisco 3D printing FAQs
Does Additiv3 ship to San Francisco?
Yes. Orders ship to any San Francisco address. Select Ship to me at checkout, enter your address, and the shipping rate is added to the order.
Can a San Francisco customer use local pickup?
Yes. Local pickup is available at our South Bay shop for anyone who prefers to collect in person. Choose it at checkout, add a phone number, and we will contact you to set a pickup time once the parts are ready.
SLA or FDM for an appearance model?
SLA is the usual choice for appearance models and detailed concept parts because it produces smooth surfaces and fine features. FDM is better when the prototype has to be strong, large or heat resistant, such as a robot bracket or a working enclosure.
What do San Francisco teams usually print?
Appearance models, enclosure iterations, robot brackets and grippers, device handle studies, scale models and small batches of parts with heat set inserts for assembly.
How do I get a quote for a studio project?
Upload each part on the quote page and set the process, material and quantity. Pricing is instant per part, so multi part projects can be configured and checked out in one session.
