Where SLS PA12
Performs Best
From surf foil to motorsport, our parts perform in the most demanding environments on the planet.
Marine
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.
Robotics
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.
Product Design
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.

Brief & Design
Share your CAD file or sketch. We review geometry, wall thickness, and tolerances — and send back DFM feedback within 24 hours.
Material Selection
We recommend the right material for your application — whether that's isotropic SLS nylon, saltwater-resistant PETG Marine, flexible TPU, or marine-grade PETG.
Print & Quality Check
Parts are printed with precision tolerances and inspected against spec. Every critical dimension is verified before dispatch.
Deliver & Iterate
Fast turnaround — typically 48–72h. We iterate with you until the part performs exactly as required.
