Whether you need branded signage, personalized products, rapid prototyping, or want to learn how to 3D print yourself, we've got you covered.

Absolutely. Whether it's a napkin sketch or a rough idea in your head, we can take it from concept to finished product. Our services include CAD modeling, 3D scanning, prototyping, and full production runs.

Small prints typically take 2–3 days. Larger or more complex projects can take up to a week. Rush orders are available if you need something fast — just let us know when you reach out.

We print with PLA, PETG, TPU, and resin depending on the project. We also offer finishing options like painting, sanding, rubberizing, and light integration to take your piece to the next level.

Not at all! Both of our classes — First Layer and Print Together — are designed for complete beginners. No experience with 3D printing or design software needed. We walk you through everything step by step.

Head over to our Classes page to see the full schedule and sign up. We run classes every Wednesday at 6 PM — First Layer (intro, ages 10–14, $60) on most Wednesdays, and Print Together (parent + child, $80) on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month. Walk-ins are welcome if there's space, but signing up ahead of time is recommended.

First Layer is designed for kids ages 10–14. Print Together is for any age kid plus a parent or guardian — if your child is excited about 3D printing, they're the right age. Adults are welcome in both classes too.

Every student takes home a 3D print they helped create during class. It's printed right in front of you on one of our machines — yours to keep.
