3D Printing Services
Britton Electronics & Automation offers in-house 3D printing for custom industrial parts, brackets, covers, fixtures, prototypes, and replacement components. With both high-detail resin printing and durable FDM printing available, BEA can produce custom parts quickly without waiting on outside vendors or long machine-shop lead times.
✓ High-Resolution Resin Printing
Our large-format MSLA resin printer produces highly detailed parts with exceptional dimensional accuracy and an extremely smooth surface finish. Resin printing excels at producing intricate components that require precision, clean edges, and professional appearance.
This technology is ideal for control panel accessories, instrument adapters, electronic enclosures, replacement parts, custom fixtures, and prototypes where fit, finish, and fine detail are critical. Many parts require little to no post-processing before installation.
Engineering-grade resins provide excellent strength while offering specialty materials designed for high temperatures, chemical exposure, impact resistance, and demanding industrial environments.
Precision Detail
Fine lettering, detailed geometry, and exceptionally smooth surfaces produce professional-looking parts ready for installation.
Tight Fit Parts
Excellent dimensional accuracy makes resin printing ideal for clips, covers, adapters, spacers, and precision replacement components.
Specialty Resins
Standard, ABS-like, tough, high-temperature, and chemical-resistant materials are available for industrial applications.
Highlights: Smooth professional finish • Exceptional detail • Tight dimensional tolerances • Engineering-grade materials • Prototype and production parts • Specialty industrial resins
✓ Production FDM Printing
Our high-speed FDM printer produces durable, functional parts using a wide range of engineering-grade thermoplastics. FDM printing is ideal for larger components where strength, impact resistance, and long-term reliability are more important than cosmetic appearance.
This process is commonly used for equipment brackets, machine guards, control panel accessories, cable management, fixtures, replacement parts, and production tooling. Fast print speeds allow us to quickly manufacture custom components that keep projects moving and reduce equipment downtime.
Materials include PLA, PETG, ABS, Nylon, Polycarbonate, and Carbon Fiber reinforced filaments, allowing us to select the right material for strength, flexibility, heat resistance, or environmental durability.
Functional Parts
Produce brackets, guards, mounts, spacers, cable guides, fixtures, replacement parts, and production components built for everyday use.
Engineering Materials
Choose from engineering thermoplastics including PETG, ABS, Nylon, Polycarbonate, and Carbon Fiber reinforced materials.
Rapid Production
Quickly prototype new designs, verify fit and function, or manufacture finished parts without expensive tooling or machining.
Highlights: High-strength parts • Engineering thermoplastics • Carbon fiber reinforced materials • Large build volume • Rapid prototyping • Production-ready components
✓ Common Applications
BEA uses 3D printing to solve real-world industrial problems where custom parts can reduce downtime, replace obsolete components, simplify installations, or improve production efficiency.
Control Panels
DIN rail accessories, wire guides, spacers, enclosure modifications, operator interface mounts, cable retainers, and custom hardware.
Industrial Equipment
Sensor brackets, machine guards, replacement knobs, covers, adapters, alignment tools, and custom mounting solutions.
Production Support
Assembly fixtures, drill guides, workholding devices, inspection tools, prototypes, and production aids designed specifically for your application.
From Concept to Finished Part
Whether you have a hand sketch, CAD model, broken component, or simply an idea, BEA can design and manufacture custom parts tailored to your application. Rapid in-house production allows designs to be refined quickly without costly tooling or long lead times.
This custom bracket is an example of a production-quality part manufactured in-house for a specific customer application.
Highlights: Custom replacement parts • Industrial brackets • Control panel hardware • Prototypes • Production fixtures • Low-volume manufacturing
✓ Why In-House 3D Printing?
Short Turnaround
Parts can often be produced in hours instead of waiting days or weeks for outside vendors.
Precision Fit
Custom parts can be measured, adjusted, reprinted, and test-fit quickly for existing equipment.
No Minimums
One part or a small batch can be produced without tooling costs or minimum order quantities.
Industrial Materials
Engineering-grade resins and filaments are available for heat, chemicals, impact, and mechanical stress.
