Do you offer rush production?

Yes — Makelab offers rush production for eligible projects when capacity allows.

Rush is designed for clients with tight deadlines, but not all orders qualify. Larger parts, complex geometries, or custom finishing may require standard turnaround. Rush production prioritizes scheduling without sacrificing print quality.

👉 To request rush production, submit the intake form with your files and deadline. Our team will confirm availability.

What orders are eligible for Rush Production?

Rush Production is available for most materials and part types. The main constraint is whether the estimated print time fits within the selected lead time.

If you're using our Instant Quoter, eligible Rush options will appear automatically. Once submitted, our team reviews the file for manufacturability and confirms that the production timeline is achievable.

If your part’s print time exceeds the Rush window, we’ll reach out with options or suggest the next fastest lead time. For urgent or complex timelines, you can also reach out through our Intake Form
