In the meantime, explore
Mechanical design and in-house prototyping — engineered for production, validated with a finished 3D printed prototype.
- Tooling, fixtures, and mechanical parts — production-reliable by design
- 3D printed prototype built in-house — fit, function, and tolerance verified before handoff
- STEP, STL, and drawings — complete file package, ready for fabrication
High-bar work. Scoped timelines. Direct communication.
Prototype Included
Every paid design engagement includes one manufactured prototype — at no additional cost.
Further revisions are scoped after testing. Quoted on actual outcomes, not estimates.
Material, quantity, and finish defined during project scoping.
Engineering Standard
Engineering Background
Electrical Engineering background. 12+ years of production-grade CAD across real projects.
1,045+ Five-Star Reviews
Every review is for a physical 3D print order shipped through PPP Studio's shop — real parts, real clients.
Professional CAD Deliverables
STEP, STL, and technical drawings — ready to hand off to a shop or fabricator.
Built for Repeatability
Parts engineered to be produced more than once. Production-minded from the start.
Design + Manufacturing Under One Roof
When design and manufacturing are separated, mistakes hide until it's too late. PPP Studio designs the part and produces the first prototype in-house — so fit, function, and manufacturability are validated early.
One Point of Accountability
Design and prototype in the same shop
Faster Iteration Loops
Decide → build → test → refine
Fewer Surprises at Production Handoff
Not a portal. Not a print farm. A real engineering workflow.
How Projects Run
1
Define Constraints
- Load, fit, and functional requirements
- Interfaces — fasteners, mating parts, existing equipment
- Material selection and operating environment
2
Engineer the Geometry
- Parametric CAD — editable, not mesh-based
- DFM applied throughout
- Failure modes identified and eliminated
3
Prototype + Validate
- 3D printed prototype built in-house
- Fit, function, and tolerance verified
- Revisions scoped from test results
Engineering-led iteration beats guessing.
Deliverables You Can Hand to a Shop (or Keep In-House)
The deliverable is a complete, manufacturable file set — structured for production, not portfolio.
STEP
Parametric CAD
STL
Prototype/print-ready exports
Technical Drawings
When required
Assembly Exports + Revision Notes
When applicable
Production-Ready Geometry
Designed for repeatability
If you need vendor handoff, the files are structured for it.
Best Fit Engagements
- Production tooling and fixtures
- Test fixtures and measurement aids
- Mechanical brackets, mounts, jigs, and enclosures with defined requirements
- Parametric CAD development with defined constraints
- Clients who treat repeatability as a requirement, not a preference
Scope Notes
- PPP Studio works in parametric CAD. Mesh-heavy or sculpt-style STL modification is not in scope.
- Rush work is not the standard. Limited availability, quoted separately.
- Projects are scoped before commitment — feasibility, timeline, and cost established upfront.
Why PPP vs Portals / Fiverr
| Marketplaces / Portals | PPP Studio | |
|---|---|---|
| Communication | Automated quoting, limited contact | Direct access to the engineer doing the work |
| Accountability | File-in / file-out | One shop. Full accountability. |
| Prototype Loop | Printing separate from design | Prototype built and validated before handoff |
| Deliverables | Mixed quality, inconsistent standards | STEP, STL, drawings — ready to manufacture |
| Manufacturability | Not a priority | DFM applied by default, not after the fact |
| Speed | Promised fast, often unscoped | Scoped timelines. No phantom delivery dates. |
