Why Choose Ready to Print 3D

Why Choose Ready to Print 3D

There's no shortage of places to get something 3D printed. Here's what actually sets RTP3D apart, and why customers keep coming back for their next project instead of shopping around.

Veteran Owned and Operated

RTP3D is run by a US Army veteran (OEF). That's not just a badge on the site — it means the same standards of attention to detail and follow-through that mattered in the field carry over into how every order gets handled here, from the first message to the finished part.

1,500+ Orders and a 5-Star Reputation

Fifteen hundred completed orders isn't a number you get from one lucky product going viral — it's built order by order, from first-time customers with a broken part to repeat clients who keep coming back for new projects. A track record like that only holds up if the work is consistently good.

14+ Professional Printers, One Shop

Running a fleet of 14+ printers means capacity most single-printer hobbyist shops can't match — a single replacement part and a full production run can move through the shop at the same time without one holding up the other. It also means redundancy: a print that needs to be redone doesn't put your order at the back of a one-machine queue.

Every Part Gets Inspected Before It Ships

Printing the part is only half the job. Every order gets checked before it leaves the shop — dimensions, finish, fit, whatever the specific project calls for — so what shows up at your door is what you actually ordered, not just whatever came off the printer.

More Than Just 3D Printing

A lot of shops do one thing. RTP3D covers the full range a real custom project might need under one roof:

  • 3D printing across a wide range of materials, from standard PLA to engineering-grade nylon and carbon-fiber blends
  • Laser cutting and engraving for flat panels, signage, and acrylic work
  • UV printing for full-color graphics directly on finished parts, tumblers, signs, and more
  • 3D scanning and reverse engineering for parts that no longer exist anywhere else
  • Custom CAD design for projects that start as nothing more than an idea
  • NFC integration for smart business cards and keytags

That range matters because real projects rarely fit neatly into one category — a custom light box, for example, touches laser cutting, 3D printing, and UV printing all in the same finished product. Working with one shop that covers all of it means one point of contact instead of coordinating between several vendors.

Jacksonville-Based, Shipping Everywhere

Based in Jacksonville, Florida, but not limited to it — orders ship nationwide. Local customers are welcome to stop by; everyone else gets the same process, the same inspection standard, and the same finished quality delivered to their door.

What This Means for You

Whether it's a single replacement part, a custom-designed product, or a full production run, the same standard applies: veteran-run, properly equipped, and checked before it ships. Get in touch and tell us what you're working on.
