AGRICULTURE
3D PRINTING AND EOAT FOR AGRICULTURE
Agricultural equipment works in short, unforgiving windows. When a machine goes down at seeding or harvest, the cost is not a repair bill, it is the season. A lot of what fails is not the expensive part, it is a guide, a bushing, a guard or a bracket that nobody stocks any more. Those are exactly the parts we print, usually lighter and more abrasion tolerant than the metal originals.
On the processing and handling side we build the robotic tooling that moves bagged product, cases and totes.
What We Make For Agriculture:
- Replacement components for equipment no longer supported
- Wear parts, guides and bushings that see dust and abrasion
- Guards, covers and brackets that a crew can fit in the field
- Bag handling and palletizing tooling for processing plants
- Prototype parts for equipment manufacturers

Printed Tooling Against The Alternative
| Factor | Printed PA12 nylon | Machined or catalogue tooling |
|---|---|---|
| Obsolete parts | Printed from a drawing, a scan or the failed part | Depends on whether the OEM still supports it |
| Abrasion and dust | Nylon wears well and does not seize | Corrodes, or needs coating |
| Field fitting | Light enough to carry and fit by hand | Often needs lifting gear |
| Cost of one part | No tooling, so a single spare is viable | Machining setup makes one part expensive |
Where This Work Ships
Most agriculture orders go to Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. Everything is printed at our Mississauga facility and shipped as domestic freight, with transit confirmed alongside the quote. Materials are covered on our PA12 nylon page and the processes on 3D printing services.
End of Arm Tooling for Agriculture
We do not only print components, we design and build the robotic tooling that handles the product. Every tool below is engineered here and printed in the same nylon.
Questions
Can you reproduce a part for old equipment?
Often yes. Send a drawing, a scan or the broken part and we will confirm whether it can be printed and whether nylon suits the load, the abrasion and the exposure it faces.
Will printed parts survive dust and vibration?
PA12 nylon resists abrasion, absorbs very little moisture, and flexes under impact rather than cracking, which suits equipment that runs in dust and takes constant vibration.
How fast can we get a part during harvest?
Production time depends on the build, and we will commit to a date with the quote. What we can say is that printing removes the machine shop queue, which is usually the longest part of the wait.
Do you build tooling for bagging lines?
Yes. Bag grippers for seed, feed and fertiliser sacks, plus zoned vacuum tooling for cases and totes, all printed in the same nylon.
Can you work from a sample rather than a drawing?
Yes. Many agricultural parts have no drawing left, so we work from the physical part, including worn ones, and rebuild the geometry from there.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Printing a single replacement part is economical because there is no tooling to pay off.
