Functional parts for teams who can’t afford surprises

KDP 3D Solutions supports engineering and manufacturing teams across a range of industries. We specialize in functional prototypes, fixtures and tooling, and low-volume production parts engineer reviewed for manufacturability and risk before printing.

Engineer-reviewed builds Revision-aware workflow Fixtures & tooling Low-volume production

Where we add value

Fast iteration, controlled output

We help teams move quickly while keeping builds consistent and predictable, especially when requirements are tight and timelines are real.

DFM review before printing
Material selection by application
Inspection for fit and finish
Optional documentation for procurement

If you have special requirements, we’ll align the workflow during intake.

Industries served

Built to support engineering-led teams

We don’t claim to be “everything to everyone.” We focus on functional work where engineering review, controlled builds, and clear communication matter.

Manufacturing fixtures and tooling

Manufacturing

Shop-floor tooling, fixtures, and functional prototypes that reduce cycle time and improve repeatability. Built for real use, not display.

Common parts

  • Assembly fixtures and nests
  • Drill guides and locators
  • Test adapters and gauges

Why it works

  • Fast iteration on fit
  • Stiffness-driven materials
  • Repeatable output for reuse
Aerospace and defense manufacturing support

Aerospace & defense support

Fixtures, prototypes, and short-run parts supporting engineering, test, and production environments. We align communication, revision control, and documentation to program needs.

Common parts

  • Test fixtures and interfaces
  • Assembly aids and handling tools
  • Prototype housings and brackets

What matters

  • Revision awareness
  • Traceability options
  • Clear, fast communication
Medical device prototyping and fixtures

Medical devices

Functional prototypes and tooling used to validate assemblies, ergonomics, and workflows. We support iterative development with controlled changes and consistent builds.

Common parts

  • Prototype housings and handles
  • Assembly fixtures and test jigs
  • Fit and usability mockups

Focus areas

  • Consistency between iterations
  • Fit and finish expectations
  • Clear requirements intake
Oil and gas functional prototypes and fixtures

Oil & gas

Functional parts and fixtures used for development, testing, and field-support workflows. We review environment and loads to guide material selection and durability.

Common parts

  • Tooling aids and alignment fixtures
  • Prototype housings and covers
  • Testing interfaces and adapters

What matters

  • Durability and wear
  • Chemical exposure awareness
  • Repeatable output
Semiconductor fixtures and lab tooling

Semiconductor

Fixtures, tooling, and adapters supporting lab, test, and manufacturing environments. We focus on predictable fit and repeatability for interfaces and tooling workflows.

Common parts

  • Test fixtures and nests
  • Handling tools and alignment aids
  • Prototype housings and covers

Focus areas

  • Fit-critical interfaces
  • Repeatable geometry
  • Documentation on request
R&D rapid prototyping and iteration

Advanced R&D

Rapid iteration for teams validating geometry, mechanisms, and assemblies. We help you iterate quickly while keeping revisions controlled and outcomes consistent.

Common parts

  • Mechanisms and test articles
  • Proof-of-concept housings
  • Custom fixtures for experiments

Why teams choose us

  • Fast feedback loops
  • Engineering-first review
  • Predictable iteration

Not sure where you fit

Tell us what the part must do

Industry is less important than requirements. Share your application, environment, and critical features and we’ll recommend the best material and build strategy.
