CLT 3D Printing - Charlotte NC 3D Printing Services

Industries We Serve

From manufacturing floors to architecture studios, we deliver precision 3D-printed parts for businesses across the Charlotte metro area and beyond.

Manufacturing

Custom fixtures, jigs, end-of-arm tooling, and replacement parts that keep production lines running. 3D-printed tooling delivers 70-90% cost savings over machined alternatives with lead times measured in days, not weeks.

Common Applications

  • Assembly fixtures and nest tooling
  • Go/no-go inspection gauges
  • Cable routing guides
  • End-of-arm robotic tooling
  • Replacement parts for legacy equipment

Recommended Materials

PETG, ABS, Nylon
