Additive Manufacturing & Rapid Prototyping

FROM CAD TO PHYSICAL PART.

Crecer Grande provides requirement-led 3D printing and rapid-prototyping support for engineering parts, fit checks, jigs, fixtures, presentation models and low-volume needs. Process, material, tolerance and finishing are reviewed against the application before the route is confirmed.

WHAT WE DELIVER

Parts you can review, fit, use or release for the next step.

We treat 3D printing as an engineering route, not only a print job. Geometry, material, orientation, fit and finishing are reviewed around the intended application.

Functional prototypesEngineering parts for trials, fit and function.

Fit & assembly checksPhysical validation before machining or tooling.

Jigs & fixturesLow-volume workshop aids and positioning tools.

Presentation modelsVisual parts where form and finish matter.

Low-volume partsRequirement-led small batches where additive suits the job.

FAI & finishingFirst-article review, inserts and agreed secondary work.

From file to usable part

Printing is one step in an engineering workflow.

File quality, orientation, material, tolerance, inserts, finishing and first-article expectations all influence whether the printed part will actually work for the application.

Hands gently compressing a flexible printed bellows — **Flexible TPU component**

InputSTEP/STP, STL, 3MF, drawing or clear dimensions.

ReviewProcess, material, orientation and fit.

ExecutionPrototype, first article or agreed batch.

OutputPrinted parts plus agreed finishing / verification.

Resin printing and threaded inserts

Enclosed resin printer with its amber protective cover in place — **Resin printing process**

Brass threaded insert seated in a printed enclosure mounting boss — **Brass inserts in printed parts**

Beyond the print

Secondary operations can be part of the requirement.

Inserts

Heat-set brass inserts

Threaded inserts can be included when the CAD and surrounding material allow reliable installation.

Finish

Sanding / finishing / paint review

Surface work is quoted separately because effort depends on geometry and finish expectation.

Inspection

FAI / dimensional verification

Approve a first article before repeat production when dimensional or assembly risk matters.
