Frequently Asked Questions
Learn How We Work
Our team is always ready to answer questions if you don’t find your answer here. Contact us to start your project or ask a question.
How long will it take?
Each project is unique. For complex projects involving design and development, we will first schedule a virtual meeting with you and then provide a “scope of work” document detailing a timeline for the steps to completion.
Most projects require prototype approval, which can occasionally lead to delays depending on your company’s approval process. Changes to the scope of work can also delay the project, so a thorough understanding of the project upfront is critical.
Our team will work with you throughout the process to ensure unnecessary delays don’t occur.
How much will it cost?
We quote all of our work based on time and materials. As a general rule, the first model is always the most expensive model.
Who does the work and where is it done?
Phil and his team are all experienced in the creation of 3D printing, masters, molds, high-quality paintwork, and finishes. We have made bone models and implant replicas for years at our on-site facilities with a variety of equipment and processes located in Warsaw, Indiana.
Any outside work is completed in the USA, generally in close proximity to our Indiana location to save time and reduce shipping expenses.
Can you work with an engineering file?
Yes, we routinely work with Unigraphics, Solidwork, Parasolid, and mesh files provided by customers and have experienced orthopedic engineering resources to assist you.
Starting with your files is the easiest way for us to begin work.
