Soquel 3D printing FAQs
Will you ship to Soquel?

Is there a pickup option for Santa Cruz County customers?
Local pickup is available at our South Bay shop for any customer who prefers it. Choose Local pickup at checkout, provide a phone number, and we will reach out to arrange a time when the order is ready.
Which process works best for outdoor and water gear prototypes?
FDM with an engineering thermoplastic is usually the right choice for mounts, clips and parts that will be flexed, dropped or exposed to the elements. SLA is better for small detailed pieces and cosmetic models where surface finish is the priority.
