ShelTech LLC is an Arizona-based additive manufacturing company specializing in advanced FDM 3D printing solutions for the aerospace industry. Founded on June 21, 2019, by Ryan Shelton—an experienced inventor, designer, and technologist with certifications in additive manufacturing, aerospace engineering, and generative AI—the company delivers high-performance components and digital assets tailored for demanding applications in rocketry, thrust vectoring systems, and scale RC aerospace.
Leveraging state-of-the-art Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology, ShelTech produces custom parts with precision tolerances, optimized materials (including reinforced composites), and complex geometries that support both experimental and production-level projects.
Our portfolio includes proprietary thrust vectoring mechanisms, structural components, and integrated electronics solutions, all designed for reliability in high-stress environments.
Operating from a fully solar-powered facility in the Mojave Desert region, ShelTech emphasizes sustainable manufacturing practices while maintaining global reach through digital marketplaces (Cults3D for STL files, Gumroad for software and code) and direct custom services.
We serve clients in the private and public sectors, providing end-to-end support from design consultation to final production.
With a focus on innovation, quality, and accessibility, ShelTech LLC is committed to advancing additive technologies in aerospace—enabling faster iteration, reduced costs, and breakthrough performance for next-generation systems.
