MINEEFORM
MineeForm is a local 3D printing service in Irvine, CA & Orange County, CA. The advantage of a local 3D modeling & 3D printing service is that if you don’t have a 3D file for 3D printing, we also offer local 3D modeling, 3D scanning, & 3D design. We can meet with you in person, take measurements or exchange sample parts, & design the exact thing you want.
We are extremely upfront about our 3D printing service cost & publish our exact price per gram & price per build plate on our website. Before starting any 3D printing jobs, we always provide you with a detailed quote so there are never any nasty surprises. 3D printing cost primarily depends on 1) number of build plates used, 2) material type, & 3) material usage in grams.
To Get a 3D Printing Quote
THE 3D PRINTING PROCESS
1. SEND OVER FILES OR PICTURES
If you already have 3D files for 3D printing, please email files to Jeff@MineeForm.com
If you don’t have a 3D file for 3D printing, we also offer local 3D modeling, 3D scanning, & 3D design. In that case, please send over pictures, drawings, or screenshots of the object you want to get 3D modeled (along with explanations over email, phone call, or text message). We can meet with you in person, take measurements or exchange sample parts, & design the exact thing you want.
2. WAIT FOR A DETAILED & ACCURATE QUOTE
Depending on the complexity of the project, we can generate an exact quote anywhere from a few minutes to a few days. If it's a few simple parts, a quote is generated very quickly. If it's a complex job with custom 3D modeling that needs to be 3D printed, sanded, & made into a silicone mold to produce 100 casted copies, then we might need a few days. For 3D printing, we never go over budget. For complex things like 3D design, custom prop painting, trade show model making, & mold making, we don't go over budget 99% of the time.
3. SUBMIT FULL PAYMENT TO START PROJECT
If you never used 3D printing services before or have doubts, we offer accounts receivable for orders under $200 for new customers on the first batch only. We also have plenty of sample parts for you to see. But for orders larger than $200 or for existing customers, we require full payment before starting the job. No job above $200 will be started without full payment.
4. ENJOY THE EPIC FABRICATION PROCESS
Once payment is cleared, we will start the 3D modeling & 3D printing immediately. We try to keep you posted with pictures & updates as much as we can. Most 3D printing jobs take at least a few days because the fabrication is done mm by mm & layer by layer. Larger jobs may take much longer. Each new order is assigned its own dedicated printer until all the parts are produced.
5. PICKUP PARTS IN PERSON OR PAY FOR SHIPPING
Once the job is done, please arrange for pick up at one of the meetup locations in Irvine, CA & Orange County, CA
For an additional fee, we also offer shipping. Shipping cost is primarily determined by 1) shipping service used 2) package weight & dimensions & 3) destination zip code.
