3D printing for third parties — Prototyping and small batches
Strato3D — Disegnatori Associati SRL
We produce 3D prototypes and small batches for companies, technical offices, and designers. FFF and resin materials, shipping throughout Italy. Quote in 24 hours.
What we produce for you
We manage outsourced 3D production for those without in-house printers, for those with production peaks to manage, or for those who want to test a new material without purchasing equipment.
- Rapid prototyping — from file to hand in 48–72h for standard geometries.
- Small batches — from 1 to 500 pieces, with quality control on each lot. Consult the available materials to choose the most suitable one.
- Technical materials — PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, PA12, TPU, PEEK, PPS CF, PVB, TPA and others. See the complete filament catalog.
- Resin printing — high resolution for medical, dental and jewelry models. See the resin collection.
- Post-processing — sandblasting, primer, painting, metallic threaded inserts on request.
Available materials
We work with a wide range of filaments and resins selected for each specific use case. If you have a need not listed, contact us: our selection is continuously growing thanks to collaborations with Polymaker, Sakata3D and other specialized manufacturers.

* Food-safe only with certified nozzle and filament with EU 10/2011 certification. ** PEEK and PPS CF require high-temperature hardware: we evaluate feasibility on a case-by-case basis.
How it works
- Send us the 3D file — We accept .STL, .3MF, .STEP, .OBJ. If you don't have the file, we can evaluate reverse engineering from a physical sample.
- Receive a quote in 24h — We will indicate recommended material, production times, and total cost including VAT.
- Approve and pay — Secure payment, no cloud. Confirm the order and we start.
- We produce and ship — Traceable production, express courier shipping throughout Italy (1–2 business days).
- Feedback and reorders — If the part is approved, we save the print profile for quick reorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which file formats do you accept?
We accept .STL, .3MF, .STEP, and .OBJ. For .SLDPRT, .F3D or other native CAD formats, contact us — in many cases we can handle them directly.
What is the minimum order?
There is no minimum order. We also produce a single piece. For batches of 10 pieces or more, contact us for a quote with a reduced unit price.
How much does it cost?
The price depends on the material, print volume, machine time, and post-processing. Send us the file for a precise quote within 24 working hours.
Do you issue electronic invoices?
Yes, always. Disegnatori Associati SRL issues electronic invoices via SDI for every order.
Are you on MePA?
Yes. Disegnatori Associati SRL is qualified as a MePA supplier for 3D printing supplies to Italian public bodies. CIG code on request.
Can I send a physical sample instead of the 3D file?
In some cases, reverse engineering can be performed from a physical sample. Contact us to assess feasibility.
Do you have experience with PEEK and PPS CF?
Yes. Contact us for a technical analysis of your file: we evaluate geometry and tolerances before proceeding.
Can I lease a printer instead of having you print it?
Certainly. Consult our 3D printer operational leasing page or the professional 3D printer catalog.
