Why 1Off?
1Off is an affordable Xometry alternative, a faster Shapeways alternative, a simplified Craftcloud alternative, and a domestic JLCPCB alternative all in one place. We're a US-based on-demand 3D printing service built to make 3D printing available to everyone.
A different approach to on-demand printing
The big platforms operate as marketplaces or manufacturer networks, they take your order, add their markup, then route it to a shop somewhere in the world. It works allowing for a wide range of capabilties over countless shops, but the extra layer means higher prices and longer lead times.
We go direct. You upload a file, we print and ship it. Cutting out the middle-man drops the price and tightens the turnaround, while keeping the auto-quoting experience you'd expect from a modern service.
Where 1Off is the better fit
- Cost. Without a marketplace or platform layer taking a cut, your money goes toward material, print time, and shipping.
- Speed for US customers. Everything prints in Florida and ships domestically. Most orders ship in 1–3 business days.
- Real human support. Email gets answered by an actual engineer, not a chatbot or a ticket queue. If you want a recommendation on material, orientation, or design, just ask.
- No account walls. Upload, quote, order. That's it.
- Made in the USA, every time. Your files stay domestic. We never subcontract overseas.

Who should use 1Off?
You're a great fit if:
- You need 1–100 FDM parts in PLA, PETG, PA12 Carbon Fiber, or TPU
- You want fast domestic shipping without paying for a platform layer
- You want US-based manufacturing with no overseas subcontracting
You'd be better served elsewhere if:
- You need SLS, MJF, resin, or metal printing
- You need thousands of identical parts
- You need exotic materials we don't stock
- You're ordering from outside the US
No hard feelings — we'd rather point you to the right service than take a job we can't do well.
