/ The Fleet
Powered by Bambu Lab.
Our New Braunfels shop runs exclusively on Bambu Lab printers — fast, reliable machines trusted by makers and small businesses for precision production.
P1S
- 256 × 256 × 256 mm build volume
- Fully enclosed for a stable chamber temperature. Ideal for tougher materials, detailed engineering parts, and prints that need minimal warping.
A1
- 256 × 256 × 256 mm build volume
- Entry-level, open-frame workhorses built for speed. Perfect for affordable prototypes, high-volume PLA runs, and quick-turn small business parts.
A2L
- 320 × 320 × 320 mm build volume
- Extra-large build volume for bigger parts, batch jobs, and enclosures that won't fit on standard beds — without sacrificing Bambu Lab speed.
22 active printers. One local shop.
With a combined fleet of P1S, A1, and A2L machines, NBTX3D can move from prototype to small-batch production without waiting on outsourced lead times.

/ Materials & Capabilities
PLA vs PETG — choose the right material.
We print primarily in PLA and PETG. Each material has strengths for different products, from display pieces to functional small-business parts.
PLA
Polylactic Acid — plant-based, easy to print
PLA is our go-to for crisp detail, fast turnaround, and eco-friendly parts. It prints cleanly with a smooth finish, making it ideal for prototypes, signage, and decorative items.
- Lower print temperature — great detail
- Excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy
- Best for indoor use and display pieces
PETG
Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol — tough & versatile
PETG is the workhorse for functional parts that need to take a beating. It resists impact, moisture, and chemicals while still printing with reliable accuracy.
- Water and chemical resistant
- Higher impact strength for functional parts
- Great for brackets, housings, and outdoor use
