Online 3D Printing Service
PrintAWorld provides project-based 3D printing for artists, engineers, agencies, and product teams creating prototypes, models, sculptures, and custom parts. Projects can begin with an STL, OBJ, STP, STEP, or 3DM file; separate 3D modeling and finishing can be included when quoted. Pickup is arranged at the confirmed New York studio, with nationwide U.S. delivery. Pricing, minimums, and turnaround are confirmed after review.
What should you send for a 3D-printing project review?
Send the available 3D file or reference images, overall dimensions, quantity, intended use, material and finish preferences, delivery ZIP code, and deadline. Note any critical fit, appearance, handling, or performance requirements. PrintAWorld reviews the geometry and requested scope before the written quote confirms file preparation, printing method, material, finishing, pickup or delivery, price, minimum, and production schedule.

Which 3D-printing materials are listed?
Looking for a material that isn't listed here? Shoot us an email at contact@prtwd.com
ABS
ABS plastic is a strong and durable material. They're ideal for prototyping mechanical parts. For prototypes that require high-precision, consider CNC machining ABS or printing in other materials. For production parts, we suggest using injection molding instead.
Nylon PA12
Nylons is a strong and durable material that is also flexible. Ideal for live hinges and functional parts.
Standard Resin
Perfect for complex 3d models that require high details and smooth finishing.
SOMOS Resin
SOMOS resin is the industrial version of standard resin. It's perfect for almost any 3d that require smooth finishing and high details. We recommend this material for any projects such as high-detailed models, architecture, art sculptures and engineering prototypes.
SOMOS Waterclear 10122 Resin
Somos® WaterClear Ultra 10122 is a clear resin that produces colorless, functional and accurate parts that simulate an acrylic appearance. Parts produced from Somos® WaterClear Ultra 10122 exhibit excellent water and temperature resistance.

Where are 3D-printing services available?
F.A.Q
How much do 3d printing services cost?
3D-printing price depends on the file, dimensions, material, quantity, finish, and delivery requirements. PrintAWorld confirms the price and any applicable minimum after project review. If you want to learn more about the factors that affect the price of 3D printing, you can read it here.
Can you 3D print large objects?
Yes! We have 3d printed projects that go up to 6 feet high. Check out our large scale 3d printing service page for more information.
Can you 3D Print in color?
Color options depend on the printing method, source file, material, and finish. Painting is a separate finishing step included only when listed in the written quote.
How long does it take to 3D Print?
Turnaround depends on the service and project. Same-day 3D printing is exceptional and is not a standard promise. File preparation, dimensions, material, quantity, finishing, and delivery requirements affect the schedule. We can speed up the process and take us half the normal expected printing time.
Cleaning and polishing also adds production time. Cleaning, support removal, sanding, polishing, painting, or metal finishing is included only when listed in the written quote.
The best way to have an estimation is to send us the files/pictures to review.
Can you 3D print metal?
PrintAWorld currently offers stainless-steel metal 3D printing. Metal plating is a separate surface-finishing process and does not make the underlying object solid metal. The written quote confirms the material and process.
What files do I need to 3D Print?
Send an OBJ, STL, STP, STEP, or 3DM file when available. Other formats and file-conversion needs require review.
Do you do delivery?
Yes. We offer nationwide delivery within the United States.
