Local 3D printing
3D printing in Fargo-Moorhead, from a shop you can call.
Northern Works is a local 3D printing and design shop in West Fargo: engineering materials, clear pricing, a person who replies within one business day, and pickup by appointment or USPS shipping.

Days, not weeks
Online print networks are built for shipped orders and print-ready files. Most Northern Works parts are done in 3–7 business days, with pickup in West Fargo by appointment and a person to talk to when the file isn't ready.
Materials
Beyond PLA

Bring a photo, a sketch or the broken part. We model it, show you the screen before printing, and keep the file for reorders.

Questions people ask
Can I just stop by?
By appointment — it is a working shop, not a storefront. Email or text first and we will have the part ready at the door. Most customers never visit; the quote form and USPS cover it.
Do you print from a photo?
Yes. A photo with a tape measure or calipers in frame, plus the make and model of whatever it fits, is enough for most replacement parts. Design time is $95/h billed by the quarter hour and quoted before we start.
How much does 3D printing cost here?
Most single parts land between $45 and $150. Print time is $6 per machine hour plus material by weight; the pricing page has worked examples. The $45 minimum covers several small parts in one order.
Do you work with businesses?
Mostly. Shops, dealers, engineering firms and manufacturers get net-30 terms, a priority queue and their files kept on hand for reorders.
