Industries

Surf foil and eFoil components need to resist saltwater, UV exposure, impact loads, and repeated mechanical stress. SHAPES*lab produces structural foil hardware, brackets, housings, and custom parts using SLS PA12, PA12-CF, and PETG Marine. Our workflow supports fast prototyping, low-volume production, and CAD-driven custom components for foil brands, builders, and performance-focused riders.

Marine applications require parts that can withstand saltwater exposure, UV degradation, vibration, and mechanical fatigue. SHAPES*lab produces deck hardware, cable management parts, brackets, housings, and custom marine fixtures using PETG Marine, PA12, and carbon-filled polymers. Our process is ideal for rapid replacement parts, low-volume production, and custom components where corrosion resistance and dimensional consistency matter.

Motorsport teams need lightweight, functional parts delivered quickly. SHAPES*lab manufactures brackets, ducts, housings, jigs, tooling, and prototype assemblies using SLS PA12, PA12-CF, PA12 Glass, and engineering-grade FDM materials. Our workflow supports rapid iteration, race-week development, and low-volume end-use parts where stiffness-to-weight ratio and turnaround time are critical.

Robotics teams use SHAPES*lab to manufacture end-of-arm tooling, gripper fingers, sensor mounts, lightweight housings, robot brackets, and functional prototypes. SLS PA12 and PA12-CF provide dimensional accuracy, strength, and repeatability for robotic systems that need fast iteration and reliable mechanical performance. Our process helps engineers move from validation to deployable parts without tooling delays.

Aerospace 3D printing enables lightweight, high-performance components without traditional tooling constraints. SHAPES*lab manufactures aerospace parts using SLS PA12, PA12-CF, PA12 Glass, and advanced polymers optimized for strength, weight reduction, thermal stability, and repeatability. Typical applications include structural brackets, airflow ducts, housings, inspection tooling, jigs, and rapid prototype assemblies for validation. Our workflow supports prototype development, low-volume production, and CAD-driven parts for demanding aerospace environments.

Product designers use SHAPES*lab to compress the development cycle from early concept models to functional prototypes and pre-production assemblies. SLA Resin supports detailed visual models, while SLS PA12 and PA12-CF enable durable, testable parts for fit, function, and validation. Our multi-process workflow helps teams iterate faster, reduce tooling risk, and move confidently toward production-ready designs.

Architectural studios use SHAPES*lab to produce scale models, concept maquettes, complex façade studies, lattice structures, and sculptural installations. SLA Resin delivers high surface quality for presentation models, while SLS PA12 and FDM materials enable durable parts and complex geometries for exhibitions, prototypes, and buildable design studies. Our process helps architects communicate form, test spatial ideas, and realize geometry that is difficult to fabricate conventionally.
