Common processes
CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, 3D printing, injection molding, and all manufacturing services.
Industries
Manufacturing support shaped around application requirements.
Use each industry page to identify relevant processes, representative applications, quality considerations, and the information to include in your RFQ.
01
Aerospace
Precision parts, fixtures, structures, test hardware, and documented production support for aerospace engineering and supply-chain teams. Typical routes include CNC machining, sheet metal, and finishing when drawings call them out.
Explore Aerospace
02
Defense
Capability-based sourcing for rugged components, controlled revisions, program hardware, and documented production workflows. Share revision-controlled files and any location or documentation needs in your RFQ.
Explore Defense
03
Electronics
Manufacturing routes for enclosures, thermal hardware, connector components, fixtures, and integrated product assemblies. CNC, sheet metal, and 3D printing are common early; molding enters when volumes and design maturity allow.
Explore Electronics
04
Semiconductor
Precision manufacturing support for equipment components, tooling, fixtures, chambers, and clean-process hardware. Call out material grades, surface requirements, and packaging expectations on the drawing or in the RFQ notes.
Explore Semiconductor
05
Industrial
Flexible sourcing for machine components, automation hardware, guards, fixtures, fabricated frames, and production assemblies. Mix CNC, fabrication, and finishing in one RFQ when the build spans several processes.

06
Medical Devices
Prototype and production parts for medical device development, including housings, instrument components, fixtures, and test hardware. Include material, finish, and any inspection or documentation needs in the RFQ so they appear on the quote.
Explore Medical Devices
07
Automotive
Prototype, validation, and low-volume parts for automotive and mobility programs—from machined brackets to molded and fabricated components. Use current revisions and clear quantities so process fit can be confirmed early.
Explore Automotive
08
Robotics and Automation
Machined, printed, and fabricated parts for robots, end effectors, automation cells, and motion systems. Fixtures, mounts, and guards often share an RFQ with the structural parts they support.

09
Consumer Products
Prototypes, cosmetic housings, pilot runs, and molded parts for consumer product teams—from looks-like models to production-intent components. Name the process you expect (CNC, 3D printing, molding, or sheet metal) when you already know it.

Start from the capability your part needs
Every industry page on 3DWK points back to the same manufacturing catalog. Use these links when you already know the process or material family; otherwise start with an RFQ and the engineering review described on How It Works.
Materials and finishes
Browse the materials library (aluminum, stainless, plastics, and more) and the surface finishes guide before you lock callouts on the drawing.
Quality and standards
See Quality & Inspection and manufacturing standards for default tolerances and how to request inspection or material certificates on the quote.
Shared Workflow
Every industry RFQ starts with clear requirements
Capabilities vary by process, material, supplier, certification, location, and capacity. Use current files and exact project requirements so the right manufacturing route can be confirmed.
Upload current files
Share 3D CAD, 2D drawings, BOMs, and revision information.
Define the project
Add quantities, timing, materials, finishes, inspection, packaging, and program constraints.
Confirm capability
Review process fit, DFM questions, documentation, commercial scope, and delivery.
