fed3Dsupply Information

The SKILCRAFT® line of 3D Supplies and Filaments is a family of additive manufacturing materials and accessories provided by North Central Sight Services (NCSS) exclusively for the U.S. federal government under the SKILCRAFT brand. SKILCRAFT is a registered trademark of the National Industries for the Blind (NIB). NCSS provides all packaging, assembly labor and order fulfillment services for SKILCRAFT brand 3D Supplies and Filaments. Rather than manufacture filaments, we qualify and select the best maker of each type of filament we offer. Our innovative business model ensures high quality and easy acquisition of any desired or required materials. No single filament maker can produce a comprehensive set of additive manufacturing material options capable of satisfying all of the needs of the federal additive manufacturing market. The process starts with North Central Sight Services (NCSS): NCSS recycles the specially selected materials used to make our superior new spools, and manufactures the spools themselves. Then we identify and qualify the best manufacturer in America for each type of filament and supply we offer. These special spools are sent to our certified set of filament makers, who load our spools with the finest filaments made in America and send them back to NCSS. When these bulk shipments arrive at the NCSS facility, they are inspected, tested, packaged, and made ready to fulfill your orders.
