Design credit

We scan or CAD. You print on your Form 4

BP Additive builds print-ready files for automotive shops. Mail a part and we scan it, or send a scan you already have. We CAD the file. You print it on your Form 4. Form 4 packages include a $500 design credit for that work.

How the design credit runs

  1. Mail the part to Hawthorne, or send a scan file.
  2. We model a print-ready file. You approve dimensions before you print.
  3. You print it on your Form 4. We help with PreForm so the job is ready to run in your shop.

What the $500 credit covers

On Form 4 Basic, Complete, and Premium, the credit is design service: scanning a part you mail in, or CAD from a scan you send. The printer price on the shop stays as shown. You print the file. Pickup, PreForm training, and same-week application help are included with those orders.

When we model from scratch

A part that only exists as a sketch, or a surface the scan cannot see, is CAD from scratch. We will say which path you are on before you spend the credit.
