WHY CARLSBAD

Local context

Carlsbad's business parks around Palomar Airport Rd host a surprising density of tech and consumer-hardware companies, including Viasat and Callaway Golf, and the city is home to biotech companies such as Ionis Pharmaceuticals. Most Carlsbad customers prefer a shipped order over a drive to San Diego: we ship UPS Ground from $15, with the exact rate calculated at checkout. Our shop is not in Carlsbad; it is about 35 minutes south via I-805 and I-5, in the Miramar / Mira Mesa area.

Carlsbad 3D printing FAQ

Do you deliver 3D printed parts to Carlsbad?+
Yes — we ship UPS Ground anywhere in San Diego County from $15. UPS 2-Day Express is $24.99 if you need it faster. You can also drive down for free pickup; it's about 35 minutes via I-805 and I-5.
Is TAKT 3D actually located in Carlsbad?+
No. The shop is in San Diego, about 35 minutes south via I-805 and I-5, at 7950 Silverton Ave Ste 205, San Diego, CA 92126, in the Miramar / Mira Mesa area. Most Carlsbad customers have parts shipped UPS Ground from $15. Pickup at the shop is free and by arrangement during our pickup window (Monday–Friday, 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM PT); call ahead so your parts are staged.
Is it worth driving to San Diego for 3D printing from Carlsbad?+
Only if you're there anyway or doing rush pickup. For most jobs, shipping UPS Ground beats burning 70 minutes of round-trip drive time. Rush orders sometimes justify the drive.
Is TAKT 3D the closest 3D printing service to Carlsbad?+
Our shop is at 7950 Silverton Ave Ste 205, San Diego, CA 92126 — about 35 minutes from most Carlsbad addresses (I-805 N to I-5 N, or order online and we ship UPS Ground).

The shop answers the phone Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM PT.
How much does 3D printing cost for a Carlsbad order?+
Every part is priced from its own file — the plastic it takes, its print time and the support it needs — so there is no per-cm³ rate to quote. For scale, our reference part, a 7.8 cm³ bracket (50×30×40 mm), is $7.22 in PLA for one and $2.50 each for 100, before setup, shipping and tax. A one-off small part usually lands on the $30 order minimum. See /pricing for the same bracket in every material — we publish every price.
How fast can I get 3D printed parts in Carlsbad?+
Standard turnaround is 5–7 business days. Rush (1–2 business days) is +60% (minimum $60). Local pickup in Carlsbad is about 35 minutes from our shop — or we ship UPS Ground from $15.
