The evidence is in every layer we print.

Problem
The client could no longer source the specific bolt covers needed for their equipment. Suppliers had discontinued them, leaving machinery exposed and at risk. Without replacements, downtime and extra maintenance costs were inevitable.
Solution
Reverse Engineering – We took the remaining part and recreated it digitally, ensuring an exact fit.
3D Printing in Nylon PA12 – A durable, UV- and weather-resistant material was chosen to withstand outdoor use.
Finishing & Testing – Each part was smoothed, inspected, and delivered ready for immediate use.
Outcome
Within just 14 days, the client received over 500 fully functional bolt covers, restoring protection to their equipment without relying on unavailable suppliers.
.

Problem
A client came to us with a broken radiator shroud for their vehicle. The original part was no longer available from suppliers, and without it, the engine was at risk of overheating and reduced efficiency. Buying a new radiator assembly just to replace the shroud would have been costly and unnecessary.
Solution
Reverse Engineering / 3D Scanning → We scanned the broken shroud and reconstructed it digitally to ensure a perfect fit.
3D Printing in Heat-Resistant Material → Printed the replacement using Glass Fill Nylon for its toughness, heat tolerance, and UV resistance.
Finishing & Strength Testing → Smoothed and reinforced the part to handle vibration and continuous exposure under the hood.
Outcome
The client received a fully functional radiator shroud replacement at a fraction of the cost of sourcing a new assembly. The vehicle’s cooling system was restored to optimal performance, extending the life of the radiator and avoiding unnecessary expenses.

Problem
A local spare shop could no longer find sun visor clips for a specific vehicle model. These small but critical interior parts were discontinued, leaving customers frustrated with dangling visors and the shop unable to meet demand. Buying new visors just for the clips wasn’t cost-effective.
Solution
3D Scanning & Reverse Engineering → We scanned the original clip and digitally rebuilt it for precise fitment.
3D Printing in Durable Plastic → Produced clips in Nylon PA12 for strength and long-term reliability, with the option of bulk production.
Batch Manufacturing → Delivered the parts in bulk quantities, giving the spare shop a consistent supply to sell to their customers.
Outcome
The shop received hundreds of ready-to-install clips at a low unit cost. They were able to reintroduce a discontinued part to the market, boosting customer satisfaction and unlocking a new recurring revenue stream.

Problem
A client needed a large custom bin prototype to present to their customers. Traditional manufacturing would have required expensive tooling and long lead times — making it impossible to produce a functional sample quickly and cost-effectively.
Solution
CAD Design & File Prep → Modeled the bin to exact specifications, ensuring it matched the client’s
concept.
Large-Format 3D Printing → Printed the prototype in sections using ABS/ASA, then assembled it into a full-size functional unit.
Finishing for Presentation → Smoothed, filled, and painted the prototype to look like a production-ready product.
Outcome
The client received a full-scale prototype bin within days — allowing them to present a tangible product to their customers without waiting for tooling. This fast turnaround helped the client validate their idea, impress their audience, and move closer to securing bulk production.

Bonisani2025-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The experience I had with this company was phenomenal because after I had struggled for weeks to get others to print my project, it leteratly took 3 days for them to print and deliver it and at a fair price. So I really recommend that u check the out. Johan Blignaut2025-07-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great company. Ordered a TTS 10 Pro, and a weak after, had a massive powersurge and cooked my motherboard. I contacted them, they got one for me, flown it to South Africa, and deliverd to me in a small Northen Cape town. Now that is service. What a great company to be associated with. Thank you once again, all of you at Create It 3 D. Kenneth Hunt2025-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
