Precision Parts,
Built to Spec.
Functional prototypes, production runs of 10–500 units, and reverse-engineered replacement parts — delivered with engineering-grade rigor and the communication your project deserves.
Three ways we can help your project.
Whether you need a single prototype or a short production run, every order gets the same disciplined process.
Functional Prototypes
Take your design from digital to physical. We produce parts built to your specification — material, tolerance, and finish — so you can test, iterate, and validate before committing to tooling.
Production Runs
10 to 500 units, consistently. Each piece in a batch is held to the same standard. Material lots are tracked, nonconformances are documented, and inspection records are available on request.
Replacement Parts
Legacy hardware, discontinued components, broken fixtures — if you can describe it or send us a sample, we can reverse-engineer a functional replacement. We work from physical references, drawings, or both.
Engineering rigor behind every print.
We operate with the documentation and inspection practices you'd expect from a contract manufacturer — applied to additive manufacturing.
Calibrated Process
Equipment is calibrated regularly and dimensional results are verified with calibrated instruments. Tolerances are stated upfront; deviations are documented, never quietly shipped.
Material Traceability
Every material spool is logged by lot number. Production runs carry full traceability records. If a batch issue is identified, we can tell you exactly which orders may be affected.
Documented Quality
First Article Inspection (FAI) reports are available on request. Nonconformances are recorded rather than ignored. We tell you when something is off — and fix it before delivery.
Direct Communication
You talk to the engineer, not a sales layer. Questions about material selection, geometry, or tolerances get real answers. DFM feedback is offered proactively when we see a concern.
Here's how a typical order works.
No prior experience necessary. We'll guide you through every step and make sure you know exactly what you're getting before we start printing.
Describe Your Part
Fill out our quote form with whatever you have — a file, a sketch, rough dimensions, or just a description. There's no wrong way to start.
Review Your Quote
Within 1 business day: price, lead time, material recommendation, and any design feedback if we spot a potential issue.
Parts in Production
Once approved, your parts enter the queue. Standard lead time is 5–10 business days. Expedited options are available if you're on a deadline.
Delivered to You
Parts are inspected, packaged, and shipped with any requested documentation. We follow up to make sure everything meets your expectations.
Capabilities & Materials.
A plain-language guide to our process, the materials we work with, and what you can expect from every order.
What is 3D printing, and when does it make sense?
Additive manufacturing (3D printing) builds parts layer by layer from a digital file, depositing molten material precisely according to your design. Unlike CNC machining — which removes material from a block — additive processes can create complex internal geometry, undercuts, and hollow structures that would be impossible or costly to machine.
Modern industrial-grade FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printers, paired with engineering-grade materials, routinely produce parts that meet tight tolerances and withstand real-world mechanical loads, heat, and chemical exposure. This is not the same technology as a desktop hobbyist printer.
It's a good fit for: design validation, low-volume production where tooling costs aren't justified, custom or one-off parts, and legacy parts no longer commercially available. It's generally not the best choice for very high volumes (1000+ units), sub-±0.1mm precision, or applications requiring material certification (aerospace, medical implants). If you're unsure, ask — we'll tell you honestly.
Six engineering-grade materials.
Each material has distinct mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. We'll recommend the right one for your application — or work with your existing specification.

Inspection that matches your requirements.
We bring contract-manufacturing quality practices to additive manufacturing — because your parts should be held to a documented standard, not just approved by eye.
First Article Inspection (FAI)
The first part off a new job is measured against all critical dimensions and recorded in a formal report. Available on request for any order.
Material Traceability
Every material is logged by lot number at the start of each job. In the event of a batch issue, we can identify exactly which parts may be affected.
Calibrated Measurement
Dimensional checks are performed with calibrated calipers and digital gauges. Results are compared against your drawing, not estimated by feel.
Nonconformance Documentation
If a part falls outside of spec, it is documented — not quietly shipped. We tell you what happened and how we resolved it before delivery.

Built on the belief that making matters.
17 years of engineering experience spanning product development and manufacturing — with firsthand exposure to what separates well-made parts from parts that merely look the part.
Prometheus Print Works was founded on a straightforward premise: the standards that serious manufacturers apply to traditional processes should apply equally to additive manufacturing — and customers deserve honest communication at every step.
I started Prometheus Print Works because I kept running into the same problem: additive manufacturing had matured into a legitimate production technology, but the quality practices surrounding it hadn't kept pace. Parts were shipped without documentation. Tolerances were stated loosely or not at all. Customers were left guessing whether what they received matched what they ordered.
After seventeen years in engineering — evaluating manufactured parts, working through production problems, and learning firsthand what disciplined making actually looks like — I had a clear picture of what I wanted to build here. Running a rigorous operation doesn't require a factory floor. It requires discipline, good tooling, honest measurement, and a genuine commitment to the customer's outcome.
"The name Prometheus comes from the Greek titan who stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity — enabling warmth, metallurgy, craft, and civilization itself. He is, in the oldest sense, a patron of making. Every object we build carries some of that spirit: an idea translated into material reality, handed over to the person who needs it."
That's the ethos here. We're not a vending machine for plastic parts. We're an engineering resource. When you work with Prometheus Print Works, you work with someone who has spent a career caring about how things are made — and who brings that same care to every job, whether it's a single prototype or a run of five hundred.
If you have a project — even if you're not sure how to describe it yet — reach out. We'll figure out the right approach together.
What you can count on from us.
Honest Quoting
We quote what we can actually deliver — tolerance, lead time, and material — and we flag upfront if your design has features likely to cause problems. No bait-and-switch, no surprises at delivery.
Documented Work
Every production job is traceable. We maintain records of the materials used, equipment settings, and inspection results. Documentation is available on request — not as an upsell.
Direct Accountability
If something goes wrong, we tell you. Nonconformances are documented, not ignored. We'd rather have an honest conversation upfront than ship a part that fails in your application.
