San Jose 3D printing FAQs
Does Additiv3 serve San Jose?
Yes. San Jose is a core part of our service area. Orders ship to any San Jose address, or you can select local pickup at our South Bay shop during checkout.
Is local pickup available for San Jose orders?
It is. Pick Local pickup at checkout and provide a phone number. We contact you once the order is ready so you can collect it at a time that works for you, with no shipping fee.
How do I decide between FDM and SLA for my part?
Start with the job the part has to do. FDM suits functional parts that take load, heat or repeated handling, such as brackets, housings and fixtures. SLA suits parts where surface finish, fine detail or tight small features matter more than toughness, such as cosmetic models and snap fit tests.
What kinds of parts do San Jose customers print with you?
Functional prototypes, enclosures, jigs and fixtures, replacement parts for equipment, and small batches of end use parts. Many add heat set inserts so printed parts can be bolted into larger assemblies.
Can I get a price without emailing anyone?
Yes. The quote page prices your part as soon as the file is uploaded and a process, material and quantity are selected. If you need design input first, our design for additive manufacturing service can review the part before it is printed.
