Mining & Resources
Functional parts and reverse engineering services for operations where downtime is expensive and supply chains are long. Engineering-grade materials that perform in demanding field environments.

Replacement Parts on Demand
When OEM parts are obsolete, backordered, or prohibitively expensive, 3D printing provides an alternative path. We scan worn originals, reconstruct the geometry, and produce functional replacements — returning equipment to service without waiting on supply chains.
Harsh Environment Materials
Mining environments demand materials that perform under UV exposure, chemical contact, impact, and temperature extremes. Our engineering range — ASA, PA6-CF, PC, TPU, PPA-CF — covers the full spectrum of environmental demands.
On-Site Scanning
We bring scanning capability to your site. Legacy components, worn parts, and installed equipment can be captured in-situ — no downtime for transport, no risk to original parts.
What we produce
- Replacement components for legacy and obsolete equipment
- Wear parts and bushings in abrasion-resistant materials
- Custom jigs and fixtures for site assembly and maintenance
- Dust and moisture-resistant enclosures for instrumentation
- UV and chemical-resistant outdoor housings (ASA, ASA-CF)
- Reverse engineering of parts with no available CAD data
- On-site 3D scanning of installed equipment and components
- Functional prototypes for custom tooling and equipment modifications
- High-temperature parts for processing environments (PPA-CF up to 200°C+)
The obsolescence problem
Mining equipment runs for decades. OEM parts for machines installed in the 1990s are often discontinued, on 6-month lead times, or priced as if they're made of gold. 3D printing provides an alternative supply path — scan the worn original, reconstruct the geometry, print in an appropriate material. Parts that would otherwise mean a machine sitting idle can often be produced in days.
Material selection for field use
Not all 3D printed parts are equal. The right material for a UV-exposed outdoor enclosure (ASA) is different from the right material for a high-temperature processing environment (PPA-CF) or an impact-critical safety component (PC). We specify the material for the environment — not just what's easiest to print.
