How is AOI Designs different from a traditional 3D printing service?
AOI Designs is not just a print shop—we are a problem-solving partner. We don’t start with a file; we start with Discovery inside your operation. By understanding your workflow first, we Identify real production issues and then Design & Prototype solutions that actually improve performance. Printing is just one tool we use to deliver results.
Can these products and services help save my business money?
Money and Headaches—that’s the purpose of everything we do. Our solutions are designed to save time, labor, materials, and frustration.

The only risk is not trying. We start with a free initial consultation—in person within the Spokane–Coeur d’Alene area or virtually worldwide. We aim to be a long-term partner, not a sales pitch. If your operation is already running efficiently or we can’t provide real value, we’ll tell you honestly. No pressure, no wasted time.
