AUSTIN, TEXAS · ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING · THE ENVELOPE

What the machine can do.

The full envelope — build volume, materials, resolution, and the geometries we're actually good at. Everything here is what runs in-house on real parts, not a spec sheet copied off a vendor site. If your geometry fits the envelope, it gets made the same way PRESION does.

The hard limits

Single-print envelope and core machine specs. Larger parts run as assemblies or multi-part builds — tell us the part and we'll tell you whether it fits in one piece.

Layer resolution 0.1 – 0.4 mm · 0.2 mm standard
Primary material PA12 CF — carbon-fiber reinforced nylon 12
Also runs PA6 · PETG · PLA
File formats STL · STEP · 3MF
Minimum order 1 unit — no minimum run size
RFQ response Within 24 hours
Typical lead time 3–5 business days from approval

Material deep dive

PA12 CF is what we run internally — field-validated, fuel and oil resistant, load-bearing. But not every part needs that. Match the material to the requirement and the budget. If you're not sure, tell us what the part does and we'll recommend.

PA12 CF

Engineering
Heat (HDT) ~170°C
Best for Load-bearing, under-hood, fuel/oil exposure, structural
Notes Our primary material. Deepest in-house experience. Same spec as PRESION. In-house heat treatment available for stress relief and dimensional stability.
Field status Field-validated under-hood — PRESION, 6 mo
Cost tier ●●●●

PA6

Engineering
Heat (HDT) ~80–120°C
Best for High-strength functional parts, wear-resistant components, general structural use
Notes Higher moisture absorption than PA12 — dry storage required. Strong and stiff when dry.
Field status Engineering / structural use
Cost tier ●●●

PETG

Consumer+
Heat (HDT) ~70–80°C
Best for Light-duty functional parts, enclosures, brackets, prototypes that need chemical resistance
Notes Easy to print, good layer adhesion, mild chemical resistance. Not for high-heat or load environments.
Field status Light-duty functional
Cost tier ●●●●

PLA

Consumer
Heat (HDT) ~50–60°C
Best for Visual models, non-functional prototypes, fit-check parts, low-cost iteration
Notes Cheapest and fastest. Fine for anything that doesn't see heat, load, or chemicals. Not a production material.
Field status Prototyping only — not production
Cost tier ●●●

Geometries we're good at

Additive earns its keep on the parts that can't be machined or cast. This is where the process — and the in-house experience behind it — actually pays off.

Internal channels & baffling

Multi-stage separation paths and flow geometry printed as one sealed piece — the kind of internal structure you can't drill, cast, or machine.

Complex overhangs

Steep, unsupported geometry resolved through print orientation and slicer strategy instead of forcing a redesign.

Print-in-place features

Barbs, captive features, and assembled-in-place parts that come off the plate ready to use — no secondary assembly.

Thin walls

Sealed thin-wall sections built on the overextrusion sealing and microporosity work proven out across the PRESION generations.

Press-fit holes

Bores dialed for bushings and bearings — the PA12 CF suspension rockers run bronze bushings in printed seats.

Threaded inserts

Heat-set insert bosses and AN / ORB interfaces where the part has to mate with metal fitting hardware.

PRESION five-stage internal baffling printed as one sealed piece
Five-stage internal baffling, printed as one sealed piece — geometry that can't be machined.
PA12 CF additive manufacturing — in-house part installed in engine bay
Parts validated where they live — real installs, not render-only.

How we hold a dimension

Achievable tolerance on a fused-deposition part depends on the material, the geometry, and the orientation — anyone who quotes you a single blanket number across every part is selling you one they can't actually hold. We don't do that. Tell us the critical dimensions and tolerances in your RFQ and we hold the part to your spec, not to a marketing figure.

Critical features are checked against your callouts at post-print inspection before anything ships — dimensions verified, visual defects flagged. New geometries get a first article inspection in AS9102 format, and dimensional verification happens at gated checkpoints through the build, not only at the end. Press-fits, bores, and threaded interfaces are dialed in per part. If a fit matters, say so up front and we design and inspect for it.

Quality system

Every capability above runs under the same documented system. AS9100-aligned, not certified — the accurate claim, and the one we'll stand behind in any supplier evaluation.

Material Traceability Certificate of analysis per lot, linked from incoming inspection through ship
First Article Inspection AS9102-format FAI on new geometries and any build parameter change
In-Process Verification Dimensional checks at gated stages -- not only at final inspection
10-Year Record Retention Build records, inspection data, and material certs retained per job
Controlled Approved Vendor List Qualified suppliers only -- ISO 9001 sources for primary engineering materials
Nonconformance Process Written NCR and corrective action on every defect -- no quiet reprints
