Additive Manufacturing
The Coho Designs additive manufacturing team provides flexible, production-ready solutions supporting projects from early prototyping through batch production. Our in-house print farm enables both quick turn builds and scalable manufacturing, allowing us to efficiently produce
anything from single prototypes to thousands of repeatable parts.
By integrating additive manufacturing into the product development cycle, engineering teams can rapidly validate designs, iterate on form, fit, and function, and move into production with reduced lead times and lower development risk.
Low-Volume Rapid Prototyping
Coho Designs supports research and development programs by producing one-off components, prototype assemblies, and low-volume prototype batches that allow engineering teams to quickly
evaluate new concepts and designs. Our additive manufacturing capability allows parts to be produced directly from digital models without tooling, enabling fast turnaround and rapid design iteration.
This capability is particularly valuable during early-stage development when designs are evolving and engineering teams need quick access to physical parts for testing, evaluation, and integration. Whether producing a single concept model or a small batch of functional prototypes, Coho Designs helps accelerate development while reducing the time and cost associated with traditional manufacturing methods.
Production-focused additive manufacturing
Our additive manufacturing services are designed for high-volume part manufacturing. Our in-house print farm operates in a high-throughput environment optimized for repeatability, consistent part quality, and continuous 247 production. To support large production runs, Coho
Designs also utilize in-house CO₂ laser systems to fabricate custom packaging and protective inserts, enabling efficient part handling, packing, and shipment of thousands of parts.
Expertise
Coho Designs brings a strong engineering background in product development, enabling us to support customers beyond simply producing parts. Our team works closely with clients to provide design guidance that optimizes components for additive manufacturing, manufacturability, assembly, and end-use performance. Through Design for Manufacturing
(DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA) principles, we help refine part geometry, material selection, and structural features to improve strength, reduce production time, and lower overall manufacturing cost.
This engineering-driven approach ensures that parts are not only printable, but optimized for reliable production and real-world application requirements. By combining additive manufacturing expertise with practical product development experience, Coho Designs helps
organizations move efficiently from early concepts to scalable production while minimizing technical and manufacturing risk.
Materials
We support a range of engineering-grade thermoplastics including PLA, PETG, ABS, TPU, PC, and PAHT, along with carbon and glass fiber reinforced polymers. Additional specialty materials are available depending on application requirements.
This material flexibility allows us to match the mechanical, thermal, and durability demands of each end application.
Industries and Applications We Support
Coho Designs partners with organizations developing advanced hardware across multiple industries, including aerospace, defense, commercial aviation, robotics and autonomous systems, electronics and advanced hardware, medical and diagnostic devices, industrial automation, and
emerging space technologies with applications including, jigs, fixtures, tooling, functional end-use components, electronics housings, UAS and UUV components, and cable management solutions and much more.
We support both short-run builds and recurring production programs, working closely with your engineering team to ensure parts meet functional and performance requirements.
