3D Printed Parts Built for the Water
Custom brackets, mounts, bezels, deck hardware, and discontinued part replacements — manufactured in UV-stable, corrosion-resistant materials designed specifically for marine environments. Based in Cape Coral, FL. Ships nationwide.
The Ocean Destroys Parts
Standard 3D printing materials fail in marine environments within months. We use engineering-grade thermoplastics specifically selected for UV exposure, saltwater, and the heat conditions found on boats in Southwest Florida.
UV Degradation
Standard plastics crack, fade, and become brittle after months of Florida sun exposure. Our ASA materials are specifically formulated for UV resistance — the same class of polymer used in automotive exterior trim.
Saltwater Corrosion
Metal hardware corrodes. Cheap plastics absorb moisture and swell. ASA and glass-filled ASA resist saltwater absorption, maintaining dimensional stability even in constant marine exposure.
Heat & Humidity
Helm consoles and engine bays in Southwest Florida regularly exceed 60°C. Our engineering-grade materials maintain their shape and strength at temperatures that would warp PLA or standard ABS.
Vibration & Impact
Boats take a beating. Glass-filled and carbon fiber reinforced materials absorb vibration and resist impact cracking far better than the OEM plastics they replace.

Materials That Survive the Ocean
We recommend ASA or ASA-GF for most marine applications. Here's the full breakdown.
| Material | UV Resistance | Saltwater | Heat Tolerance | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
ASARECOMMENDED Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate | Excellent | Excellent | Up to 100°C | Deck hardware, bezels, exterior mounts — the go-to material for marine parts |
ASA-GFRECOMMENDED Glass-Filled ASA | Excellent | Excellent | Up to 105°C | Structural brackets, load-bearing mounts, backing plates |
ASA-CF Carbon Fiber ASA | Excellent | Excellent | Up to 110°C | High-strength exterior components where weight matters |
CF-Nylon Carbon Fiber Nylon | Good | Good | Up to 180°C | Engine bay parts, high-temp brackets, structural components |
PETG Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol | Moderate | Good | Up to 80°C | Interior trim, covers, non-UV-exposed parts |
Built for the Marine Industry
Boat Owners
You need a part that's discontinued, cracked, or faded. We scan it and print a replacement that fits like the original — often in a material that's tougher than what came from the factory.
Marine Mechanics & Service Shops
Keep a reliable source for hard-to-find parts. We turn around most marine parts in 3–5 business days. Volume pricing available for shops that need multiples.
Yacht Brokers & Dealers
Close the deal without waiting months for a backordered part. Cosmetic and functional parts reproduced to OEM spec — no one will know it's not original.
Boat Builders & Refit Yards
Custom components for new builds or refits. Prototype brackets, test-fit panels, and production-run hardware without tooling costs.
Can't Find the Part? We'll Scan It.
Bring us the broken part — or even just a photo and some measurements. We use precision 3D scanning to capture the exact geometry, then reverse engineer it in CAD and print a replacement in the right material for the application.
This is how we reproduce discontinued parts that manufacturers no longer make. The scan captures every curve, every mounting hole, every detail — so the replacement fits exactly like the original.
- Precision scanning to ±0.05mm accuracy
- Full scan-to-CAD-to-part workflow
- On-site scanning available for installed components
- STL, STEP, and OBJ file delivery included
- Design modifications available (stronger, better fit, new features)
Need a Marine Part Built?
Send us a photo, a part number, or the broken piece itself. We'll tell you if we can reproduce it, what material we'd recommend, and how fast we can get it to you. No obligation.
