Delaney Manufacturing offers laser engraving services that bring precision marking directly to the parts we manufacture, as well as on jigs and fixtures used throughout the production process. Because components are produced in-house, logos, part numbers, serial codes, and compliance markings can be seamlessly engraved as part of manufacturing.
Combining 3D printing with laser engraving creates a powerful, flexible approach to prototyping that goes beyond simple form and fit. With 3D printing, you can quickly produce complex geometries and functional parts, while laser engraving adds a layer of precision detailing—such as part numbers, branding, measurement marks, or assembly instructions—directly onto the surface. This integration allows prototypes to more closely resemble final production components, improving communication with stakeholders, enhancing visual presentation, and even enabling early-stage usability testing with clearly labeled features. The result is a more refined, professional prototype without the cost or lead time of traditional manufacturing methods.
This combination is also highly effective for producing custom jigs and fixtures used in manufacturing and assembly processes. 3D printing allows for rapid creation of tailored tools that match exact part geometries, while laser engraving can add alignment guides, reference points, or operator instructions directly onto the fixture. This not only improves accuracy and repeatability but also reduces training time and the risk of human error. Together, these technologies enable faster iteration, lower tooling costs, and a more streamlined workflow from prototype to production.
Send us your part to scan and create a CAD drawing. Once the CAD file is created, the design can be 3D printed or we send the file to our tool makers to have an injection mold built. We will work with you to determine if it can be manufactured of plastic, perform to your specifications, and be cost effective.
Should plastic be a viable option, we will present a comprehensive proposal encompassing ROI, the most suitable resin, tooling quotes, per-part pricing, and a meticulous timeline for product delivery.
For those choosing manufacturing first, we develop molds, produce the item, and bring it to market for shipping. Alternatively, if you focus on marketing, you can start promoting drawings and prototypes, securing commitments from investors, buyers, and distributors.
We can provide quotes quickly and make the transition as easy. If you are working on a new project, we help with CAD designing, prototyping, material selection, injection molds, packaging, and more. Start to finish
Generally, plastic components are far less costly than metal ones and, many times, offer better performance than metal.
There are over 50,000 grades of plastic on the market today, many of them specifically engineered to replace metal.
Purchase Order to delivery date is shorter, meaning less inventory to pay for and sit on.
Plastic is light weight and inexpensive to ship compared to Metal.
The raw materials used in plastic production are generally less expensive than metals, leading to cost savings in manufacturing.
Many plastics are engineered to have specific properties that make them suitable replacements for metals in various applications. This includes factors like strength, durability, heat resistance, and electrical insulation.
The wide range of plastic grades available on the market allows manufacturers to choose materials that precisely match the requirements of a specific application, potentially providing better performance than a one-size-fits-all metal alternative.
Plastic components can often be produced more quickly than metal ones due to the nature of plastic processing methods. This shorter lead time can reduce the need for large amounts of inventory, thus saving storage costs.
Plastic components are lighter than their metal counterparts, which makes them cheaper to ship. This can be particularly advantageous when dealing with large quantities or shipping over long distances.
Unlike many metals, plastics are inherently corrosion-resistant, which can eliminate the need for protective coatings and maintenance, further reducing costs.
Plastic can be molded into complex shapes more easily than metal, offering greater design freedom and potential for innovative solutions.
