ABOUT PPP

PONTIAC PRINTING PRESS

Michigan roots.Started in Pontiac — a city that used to build extraordinary things. That environment didn't just shape our name, it shaped our philosophy.
Precision 3D Printing and CAD.From a lineage of engineers, toolmakers, and teachers. Every part gets the same treatment: engineered for how it gets made.
Built to function. Designed to last.With over a decade of CAD experience and five years servicing customers, PPP brings production-level discipline to every project.

HOW I WORK

PRECISION BY DEFAULTYears in the slicer — tuning profiles, dialing materials, slowing things down until they're right — means fewer artifacts, cleaner surfaces, and parts that look as good as they function. Quality here isn't an upgrade. It's the floor.
BUILT TO LASTEvery part is designed with longevity in mind — the right material, the right geometry, the right reason to exist.
DESIGNED FOR MANUFACTUREProper tolerances to ensure you aren't fighting your parts. Every file I produce is engineered for real-world function, not just how it looks in CAD. No unnecessary geometry, no features that fight the process.
TECHNICAL CLARITYI can talk tolerances with engineers and explain layer adhesion to someone who's never touched a printer. That translation is a real skill, and it's how projects stay realistic and within budget. If your design won't print, or won't hold up, I'll tell you before we start.
ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORTEvery project is handled directly by me — not a ticket queue, not an overseas contractor. You get a single point of contact who knows your project, responds quickly, and stays accountable from first message to final file.
FILES YOU OWNEvery deliverable is yours — fully editable source files, no proprietary formats, no lock-in. STEP, STL, F3D, DXF — whatever your workflow needs. You walk away with assets you can take anywhere.
