DDA Maker Technologies / New Jersey
From the first version to the next batch.
DDA Maker Technologies provides custom FDM and resin 3D printing in New Jersey for prototypes, replacement parts, models, and small production runs. Bring a print-ready file, an existing object, or an idea that needs a design. Based in NJ, also serving NY, PA, and CT
FDM & resin printing
CAD help when you need it
One-off parts & repeat orders
Start with the object
You don’t need to choose a plastic or understand printer settings. Start with how the finished piece will be used.
Prototypes & fit checks
A physical prototype can reveal an awkward grip, a misplaced hole, or an interference that is easy to miss on screen. Tell us what you want to learn from this version.
Plan for: a sample and a fit check before committing to a larger run.
Functional & replacement parts
Need a mount, cover, adapter, or replacement part? Tell us what it must do and what it needs to fit. An existing part can provide a starting point for the design.
Plan for: material selection and print orientation as part of the design discussion.
Display & presentation models
A model can explain a shape, demonstrate a concept, or become a personal project. Overall size, small details, and the surfaces people will see help determine the printing approach.
Plan for: a discussion of layer lines, support marks, and the finish you expect.
Small production runs
Custom enclosures, sets of components, and repeat orders need an agreed design. Share the quantity and any variations so we can assess the production approach and quote the run.
Plan for: agreeing on the sample, material, and revision before repeating the part.

From DDA’s printing history
From individual replacements to repeat production, these past DDA projects show the range of quantities we have handled.
One production orderA batch of 500 printed parts.
A single order for a set of printed models.
A custom dining-table slider, followed by eight copies.
Custom camera cases produced across multiple orders.
Past project quantities, not order limits. Send your design and quantity for a project-specific quote.
CAD design + 3D printing
DDA can develop a new model or revise an existing file, then print the part. Design work is quoted alongside production.
Bring a sketch, an existing part, or a description. We can work out the measurements and build a CAD model for the part you need.
Useful starting points: photos, measurements, a sample part, and the object it needs to fit.
Thin walls, difficult overhangs, or unsuitable clearances can stop a model from printing well. We can review the file and discuss the changes it needs.
Send the original CAD file if you have it, along with the print file and a description of the problem.
A project that needed both
An air-filter prototype needed design revisions as printing constraints and material options became clearer. DDA worked through the CAD and printing approach together.
Design and revision work is scoped alongside the printing quote.
Process & material
DDA offers FDM and resin 3D printing. The best fit depends on the geometry, size, appearance, and conditions the part will face.
Plastic filament is deposited in layers. A useful route for many prototypes, functional components, models, and small production runs.
Discuss visible layer lines, load direction, and features that need support.
Light cures liquid resin into a solid part. Consider it for fine features and detailed models when the resin’s properties suit the application.
Discuss fragile details, support marks, and the behavior required from the finished part.
Does it need to resist heat, sunlight, impact, or repeated bending? Does its fit need to hold as temperatures change? Tell us the conditions it will face. We can discuss strength, flexibility, weather resistance, and dimensional stability before choosing a material.
Other materials are welcome for review. Specific grades, colors, and availability are confirmed with your quote.
Before we print
Three details worth settling before the machine starts.
Point out mating surfaces, holes, threads, and dimensions that matter. A fit-critical part may need a test print and adjustment before the design is ready to repeat.
Tell us how the part is loaded and where it will be used. Material, wall design, and printing direction all matter; increasing infill alone does not settle the design.
Show us the surfaces people will see. Layer lines and support contact can affect appearance, so surface expectations belong in the quote discussion.
Practical questions
We quote the specific project. Size, geometry, material, print time, quantity, and any design work affect the price. Include overall dimensions, quantity, and how the part will be used so we can assess the work.
A ready-to-print file gives us a starting point for review. If you only have a sketch, photos, or an existing object, we can discuss the measurements and CAD work needed. Design work is scoped separately from simply printing an existing model.
Send the model or its link, the finished size, and the quantity you want. Make sure you have permission to have it printed for your intended use. We will review whether the geometry and available materials suit the request.
Send the overall dimensions and required date. Feasible size and turnaround depend on material, geometry, quantity, machine availability, and any design revisions. Large objects may need to be split into sections; we will discuss that before quoting.
Often, the first step is working out the dimensions and how the original functions. Send photos of the part and the assembly, and let us know whether the original can be measured. We will assess whether a printed replacement is appropriate.
Yes. DDA readily supports customers in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Connecticut when site visits or meetups are needed. Larger service areas, shipping, or remote work will be considered when it makes sense. Include your location and deadline so we can discuss delivery arrangements for your project.
We review each request for technical feasibility, practicality, and legality, and reserve the right to decline any project. If another shop is better equipped to meet your needs at a reasonable cost, we may suggest a referral.
Yes. We can quote an initial sample so you can check fit, appearance, and function before ordering more. If changes are needed, we can discuss design revisions and another sample before proceeding with the full quantity.
3D printer repair & maintenance
If clogs, failed prints, or a machine fault sent you looking for a printing service, we can help. Let’s start with your print request, then address the printer that should be making it.
Send the printer model, symptoms, and what you have already tried. We will discuss the repair options with you.
Let’s make something
Have a model ready? Tell us what to print. Still figuring it out? Tell us what the object needs to do.
