Functional prototypes, fixtures and small-batch production, made in house by a mechanical engineer in San Jose.
Upload a STEP, STL, OBJ or 3MF file and see a price in seconds. The geometry is read in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
A part larger than the envelope is split along a joint line, printed as sections and bonded into one piece. The estimator tells you when that applies, and the joint line is confirmed during review.
Engineering tolerances available, reviewed per part. What FDM will hold moves with material, geometry, feature size, orientation and finishing, so a single site-wide figure would be misleading. Tell us which dimensions are critical and we will tell you what we can hold on yours, before you order. How we state tolerances.
Plenty of places will take an STL. Fewer will look at the part, tell you what the process will do to it, and be there when you need twenty-five more.
The mechanical engineer who reads your model is the one who prints it. No automated queue in between.
The estimate is instant, and prototypes are not scheduled behind a production backlog. Lead time is calculated from your geometry, not from a marketing number.
Parts are printed, finished and packed here, on equipment we own and maintain. Nothing goes out to a fulfilment network.
Start with one part. Order a repeat run next quarter from the same file and the same profile.
Seabright Mechanical gives engineering teams in San Jose and across Silicon Valley a nearby source for functional prototypes, fixtures and small production runs.
One shop, in San Jose. The towns above are the market it serves, not offices it keeps.
Upload the CAD. You get four turnarounds with the price of each.

Prototypes that get loaded and tested, fixtures that make a process repeatable, housings and manifolds, and the repeat parts that follow when a design is proven.
Photographs of sample parts are not up yet. We do not put stock photography, a render, or somebody else's part on this page. Send a CAD file and we will tell you what we would do with it.
Your project is handled by a mechanical engineer, from the first question to the packed box.
If your printed part has a job to do inside a product, a machine or a process, send it. The list below is who this is built for, not a customer list.
What we are not: we hold no AS9100, ISO 13485 or IATF certification, and we do not supply flight, medical or safety-critical hardware. Aerospace and automotive teams buy prototypes, fixtures and test hardware from shops like this one, and that is the work we are describing.
Typical parts, printed from your CAD: functional and mechanical prototypes, fixtures and manufacturing aids, tooling, enclosures and housings, manifolds and ducting, robotics components, replacement parts for equipment out of production, test hardware, and repeat low-volume parts.
One prototype now, twenty-five parts next quarter. Both are normal here, with no second supplier and no requalification step in between.
A single functional part, priced from its own geometry. No tooling, no minimum run, no setup fee.
Fit it, load it, find what is wrong, change the model. A revision is a new file and a new build, not a new tool.
Repeat parts from the same file, material and profile, with volume pricing that steps down as the run grows.
Drop in a STEP, STL, OBJ or 3MF file and choose material, quantity and how fast you need it. Your files are read in the browser; the geometry never leaves your machine.
The estimator prices the part from its geometry and your options, itemizes every line, and builds a PDF you can put in front of purchasing the same afternoon.
Every submitted estimate is reviewed by an engineer before production. We may adjust price, material or lead time, or suggest a design change, based on geometry, manufacturability and tolerances. You get the final quote before anything is built.
Have a spec sheet, a tricky tolerance or a part that keeps failing in service? Send it, and we will tell you whether FDM is the right answer.
Run and finished in house, with orientation, walls and material set by engineering for your load case.
Parts you can bolt in, load and break, not display models. Iterate a revision at a time.
Repeatable runs from a handful of parts to hundreds, with no tooling cost and no minimum run.
Engineering thermoplastics, from commodity PETG through unfilled and carbon-filled nylons. Tell us what the part has to survive.
Open an STL, STEP or 3MF file in your browser and cut a section through it to check wall thickness and internal features. No account, no upload.
These are the materials the estimator will quote today, read from the configuration it prices from.
Larger-format capacity and further additive processes are planned. Nothing is offered on this site until the machine that does it is in the shop.
Describe the part below and it goes straight to an engineer.
We are glad to work under an NDA. If you need one signed before you send geometry, just ask.
