Make Streamline 3D Your Production Partner

Streamline 3D is a turn-key solution for 3D manufacturing at scale. We produce parts that are used and sold in many industries including: consumer electronics, industrial tooling and fixtures, biomedical, orthopedics and prosthetics, electric vehicles, toys, robotics, and so much more! The applications are almost endless. Give us a call if you need to produce engineered parts in volumes of 1-5,000+ pieces and we can discuss a manufacturing contract.


Our printing technology and post-processing capabilities set us apart. Many 3D printing service bureaus use old school printing technology such as FDM (which is essentially just a robotic hot glue gun) or liquid resin technologies such as SLA (which is expensive and has generally poor mechanical properties). We use the Multi Jet Fusion printing process pioneered by HP and first introduced to the market in 2016. This printing process is the first to produce full strength, high resolution parts at production numbers never before seen in the 3D printing world. It makes all other printing processes look like toys.


Our post-processing capabilities take your models to the next level. Most 3D printing service bureaus only offer simple post-processing such as black dyeing, which only add incremental value to your products. We have finishing options for every application, including automotive grade painting, Cerakote, nickel plating, dyeing, vapor smoothing, and more. See our Services page for more information. 



How Streamline 3D Began:

Streamline knows manufacturing because it was born from manufacturing.

Cody learning designing and building custom mountain bike components on a home built CNC mill and enclosure.

Streamline 3D got its start in 2015 when one of the owners, Cody Laursen, bought his first manufacturing machine – a Taig CNC mill. Cody was studying Business and Engineering at Brigham Young University, Idaho and spent his free time designing and CNC machining aluminum bicycle parts with a small CNC mill that he kept inside of his apartment closet. He even built a sound proof enclosure for his CNC mill to avoid neighborly complaints. This first machine was terrible by any standard, but it inspired Cody to improve his CAD design skills and solve manufacturing problems at the company he worked for.


Streamline got its first 3D printer a few months later when Cody realized that he needed a faster method of creating fixtures and prototypes. His first printer was a Tevo Black Widow for $460. At the time, this was an unbelievably massive purchase. Cody was working as an engineer for a traffic signal manufacturing company at this time called Traffic Signal Hardware Inc., and used his Tevo to print fixtures, prototypes, and even full production tooling for sand casting brass and aluminum! This printer was already saving thousands of dollars for Cody’s employer, so Cody started to think of other opportunities with his mighty Tevo Black Widow.


Streamline got its first opportunity as a 3DP service bureau when Cody noted that the 3D printers at his university were always broken, leaving many engineering capstone projects incomplete. Cody made an advertisement to put in front of the university manufacturing lab advertising his printing service, and Streamline 3D was born! Streamline started producing student projects and slowly gaining more customers over the years. Eventually Streamline operated over a dozen desktop FDM and SLA machines, all operated out of Cody’s house in Clovis, California.


By this point, Cody was an owner/partner at Traffic Signal Hardware, Inc. and found that there wasn’t a heavy engineering workload after years of process optimization. Kevin and Ron Tolman, the other owners of Traffic Signal Hardware, decided that it was time to make Cody’s 3D printing dreams come true and purchase the best 3D printing equipment in the world and form a new corporation called Streamline 3D Inc. We bought our first industrial printing machine, HP’s Jet Fusion 5200, in July 2021 along with many auxiliary post-processing machines.


Fast forward to the future, and we hope to operate a fleet of 10+ Jet Fusion machines to enable mass production of end-use parts for our customers of any size. Become a part of our story and upload your part files today for an instant quote!
