Custom prints for people and small businesses

A local 3D printing service

We plan to print figures, trophies, useful parts and small batches for local businesses. Send a 3D file, or bring a picture and measurements so we can help with the design.

What is 3D printing?

3D printing makes a physical object from a digital model. Our planned printers heat a thin strand of plastic and place it in layers, building the object from the bottom up.

You can send us a 3D file, or bring a picture and measurements so we can design a model first. We would handle the setup, printing and finishing.

Our services

What we would print

We would help choose a material, prepare the file and check the finished print.

The order process

How an order would work

How it works
01

Tell us what you need

Share an STL, 3MF or STEP file, or a picture with dimensions. Pictures need a separate modelling step.

02

Get the details right

We review feasibility, material, finish, price and timing. Approve your design before production.

03

Print, check and deliver

We print, inspect and package your order for planned local pickup or tracked Canadian shipping.

Our starting setup

Four printers in a small workshop

We plan to launch with four enclosed printers in a Metro Vancouver light-industrial workspace, then grow with repeat orders.

The room in this reference photo shows the kind of print farm that inspired us. It’s a vision for scale, not a facility we currently operate.
