Pacific Eastward Development manages additive manufacturing production for customers who need precision plastic parts — without building their own print operation. We coordinate qualified production today, and bring in-house manufacturing capability online in Q1 2027.
"You found us at the right moment. PED is formation-stage and moving with purpose. Passthrough manufacturing is live. In-house production comes online Q1 2027. If you are a potential customer, a partner, or someone who sees what we see in Porterville — I want to hear from you directly."
Don Weyhrauch · Founder & Principal, Pacific Eastward Development
PED coordinates precision 3D printing production for customers who need parts — not a print shop relationship. We manage the process, the quality, and the delivery through qualified production partners. In-house manufacturing capability comes online Q1 2027.
You provide the file and the specification. PED coordinates production through qualified print partners, manages quality review, and delivers to your location. Non-sensitive parts available now. Clean, traceable, and professionally managed end to end.
Available NowDimensionally accurate plastic prototypes for fit, form, and function testing. Submit your CAD file — STL, STEP, or OBJ — and PED coordinates production and delivery. Engineering-grade materials available.
Available NowPED's own industrial additive manufacturing capability comes online Q1 2027 — expanding our production control, lead time, and part traceability for customers requiring direct manufacturer relationships.
Q1 2027PED coordinates production across a range of engineering-grade thermoplastics through qualified print partners. The materials below represent what is available to your project today. If your material is not listed, ask us.
Workhorse materials for functional prototypes and production parts.
PLA — Standard and reinforcedPETG — Chemical-resistant, toughABS — Impact-resistantASA — UV-stable, outdoor useTPU — Flexible, elastomericEngineering-grade materials for demanding applications and elevated temperatures.
Nylon (PA12, PA6) — Wear-resistantPolycarbonate (PC) — High impact strengthULTEM (PEI) — High-temp, flame-retardantPEEK — Chemical and heat resistantCarbon fiber-reinforced compositesDon't see your material? Contact us. If the material can be run on industrial FDM equipment, we can likely source it. If we cannot, we will tell you straight.
PED manages the production process so you don't have to. No equipment to source, no print shop to manage. You deal directly with PED — one contact, start to finish.
Send your STL, STEP, or OBJ file along with your material preference, quantity, and delivery requirement.
PED reviews your file for printability and returns a quote within one business day. We flag any issues before production begins.
PED manages production through qualified print partners, monitors quality, and verifies parts against your specification before shipment.
Parts ship to your location with documentation. Certificate of conformance available upon request.
I chose Porterville. I served on its City Council. I know this community from the inside — and Porterville is not a location of convenience. It is the strategy. It carries federal and state designations that give PED and our customers structural advantages most manufacturers simply do not have.
Porterville is a confirmed Historically Underutilized Business Zone. Customers with federal contract obligations benefit directly from working with HUBZone-located suppliers.
Direct highway access connecting to major California ports, distribution hubs, and manufacturing corridors up and down the state.
Porterville's young, motivated workforce is the foundation of our operations — and our long-term commitment to this community.
"I live in Porterville. I served on its City Council. This work is for the people of this city — about the mission of building real opportunity here, and leaving it better than I found it."Don Weyhrauch · Founder & Principal
