Your Guide to 3D Printing Services in Wichita Falls, TX
So, you have a digital design and need it turned into a physical object. In the past, that meant searching for specialized machine shops or ordering from a faceless online service with long lead times. Today, high-speed, industrial-grade 3D printing is available right here in Wichita Falls, and it's more accessible than you think.
At Falls Truck Center, our Graphics Department has invested in state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, not just for our own projects, but to serve the entire Texoma community. Whether you're an inventor, a small business owner, a hobbyist, or just someone with a broken plastic part, we can help.
What Kinds of Things Can You Actually Print?
While the possibilities are endless, most local projects fall into a few key categories. We're not just printing trinkets; we're creating functional, durable parts for real-world use.
Rapid Prototypes
If you're an engineer or inventor, you know the value of speed. We can take your CAD file and produce a physical prototype in hours, allowing you to test fitment, function, and ergonomics before committing to expensive tooling.
Replacement Parts
Got a vintage car with a cracked plastic trim piece? A tool with a broken handle that's no longer made? We can help model and print durable replacement parts from materials stronger than the original.
Custom Jigs & Fixtures
Small businesses and workshops often need custom jigs to streamline production. We can print strong, precise tools from materials like Carbon Fiber Nylon that withstand workshop abuse.
Personalized Gifts
With our multi-color printing capabilities (up to 16 colors in a single print!), we can create vibrant, detailed models, custom logos, or unique personalized items that make perfect gifts.
It's Not Just Flimsy Plastic, Right?
Correct. This is the biggest misconception about 3D printing. While basic PLA plastic is great for decorative items, our enclosed, high-temperature printers can handle engineering-grade materials designed for strength and durability.
- ASA & ABS: Perfect for parts that will live outdoors or in a hot car. UV-resistant and high heat tolerance.
- Carbon Fiber Nylon (PA-CF): When you need serious strength and rigidity. Incredibly strong, stiff, and lightweight.
- PETG: A great all-around material. More durable than PLA but easier to print than ABS.
What's the Process?
We've made the process simple and local-friendly. No complicated online portals or shipping delays.
