Prototype 3D Printing and Parts for Companies
OutsideDbox in Nitra makes prototypes, jigs, enclosures, spare parts and small series for manufacturers, service teams and developers who need a part fast, in the right material, with paperwork. No registration, no waiting for an industrial bureau to reply.
What We Make for Companies: Prototypes, Spare Parts and Small Series
Rapid prototyping and functional prototypes
Check form, fit and function before expensive tooling. From model to working prototype in days, not weeks.
Jigs, fixtures, holders and production aids
Line fixtures, drilling templates, test holders and operator aids. Ergonomic, light and made to fit your part.
Enclosures and electronics boxes
From a board or dimensions. Connector cut-outs, ventilation, DIN rail mounting.
Spare parts
Parts no longer made or with long lead times. We measure, reconstruct and manufacture.
Small-series production
Tens to hundreds of pieces when injection tooling does not pay. Unit price drops with quantity.
Presentation models
Scale models of products and equipment for trade shows and presentations.
How Do Company Orders Work?
NDA on request
We sign a confidentiality agreement before you send data. Files are deleted after completion on request.
Invoice with company and tax ID
Bank transfer with payment terms for regular customers. Delivery to your business address.
Capacity and dates
Lead time by technology is on every page. For series we confirm a schedule in the quote.
Part documentation
Material, print parameters and dimensional check on the delivery note if your quality process needs it.
Lead times by technology
| Technology | Standard (working days) | Express (working days) |
|---|---|---|
| FDM parts up to 250 mm | 3 to 5 | on request |
| FDM larger parts and small series | 5 to 10 | on request |
| SLA / resin | 3 to 6 | on request |
| 3D modelling (simple to medium) | 2 to 7 | on request |
| 3D scanning and model clean-up | 2 to 5 | on request |
| Design and branding (logo, product) | 10 to 20 | on request |
Lead times run from quote approval. Express depends on capacity and carries a surcharge.
FDM Materials: From 1 Piece to Small Series
| Material | Heat resistance | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | 60 °C | visual models, form prototypes, branded objects |
| PETG | 75 °C | functional parts, brackets, enclosures |
| ASA | 95 °C | outdoor parts, UV resistance |
| PA (nylon) | 110 °C | gears, sliding parts, jigs |
| PA-CF | 130 °C | stiff technical parts, aluminium replacement |
| PC | 110 °C | impact- and heat-resistant parts |
| TPU | 60 °C | seals, dampers, protective covers |
We calculate the price from the part weight, material, supports and quantity. You get the exact price in a quote within 48 hours.

FAQ
Will you sign an NDA before I send drawings?
Yes. Tick NDA in the request and we send a confidentiality agreement to sign before you share data. Files are deleted after completion on request.
What tolerances does 3D printing achieve?
Typically ±0.2 mm for FDM and ±0.1 mm for SLA. Critical dimensions are calibrated on a sample before a series. Minimum wall thickness is 1.2 mm for FDM and 0.6 mm for SLA.
Is 3D printing worth it for hundreds of pieces?
For tens to low hundreds, yes, when injection tooling does not pay off or the part is still changing. For thousands we recommend injection moulding and prepare the files for the tool.
How much does a prototype or a small series cost?
OutsideDbox prices FDM parts per gram by material and SLA parts per millilitre of resin, plus supports and any finishing. In a series the per-piece price drops from 10, 50 and 100 pieces because parts are printed together on one plate. You get the price of the prototype and of the series in a quote within 48 hours, and the sample price is credited against the series.
How long do a prototype and a small series take?
A functional FDM prototype up to 250 mm is ready in 3 to 5 working days, an SLA prototype in 3 to 6, and a small series or larger parts in 5 to 10 working days from approval of the quote. For series we confirm the schedule in the quote; express is by arrangement. The courier delivers to your business address usually the next working day.
Which material suits a functional prototype?
PETG for regular indoor functional parts, ASA for outdoor parts, nylon (PA) for gears and sliding parts, PA-CF for stiff parts in place of aluminium, PC for heat and impact, and TPU for seals and flexible elements. Visual prototypes with fine detail are printed in SLA resin. Tell us what the part must withstand and OutsideDbox picks the material.
Will you make a single prototype?
Yes. Most prototypes and spare parts at OutsideDbox are one piece. The minimum order value is stated in the quote; for one small part you pay it, for several pieces it is spread across them.
What do you need to quote a prototype?
An STL, STEP, OBJ or 3MF file, or a drawing or photo of the part with a ruler, the quantity, the material or a description of what the part must withstand and where it is used, the deadline and billing details with company ID. The form takes up to 10 files of 50 MB each. If you tick NDA, we send the agreement before you share data.
Do I get a sample before the series?
Yes, and we recommend it for series and parts with critical dimensions. The sample is quoted separately and its price is credited against the series. Every part gets a dimensional check before shipping; if it does not match the approved model, we reprint it at our cost.
