Custom 3D printing in Charlotte, designed with you.

Two flex-tile prints: a purple coin with our teal crown, and a purple, teal and white starfish Bring Your Dreams To Life
Flex tiles: hundreds of tiny tiles printed as one piece, so they bend like fabric.

Awards, gifts, birthday cards, parts, robot builds, whatever you're picturing. Bring a sketch, a photo or just the idea. We'll design it with you, show you a 3D mockup and print it in our shop.

How a custom project works

You see a 3D mockup before anything prints.

  1. 01

    Tell us the idea

    A sketch, a photo, a link or a few sentences. If it has to fit something, send measurements.

  2. 02

    We design it with you

    We model it in 3D and send you pictures. Change what you want. Nothing prints until you say go.

  3. 03

    We print and finish

    Printed in our shop, cleaned up and checked by hand.

  4. 04

    Pick up or ship

    We ship it to you. In Charlotte? Ask about picking it up.

Simple payment. A 50% deposit starts the project. The balance, plus shipping, is due when it's ready to go. Pay by card, invoice included.

Questions

Not sure it can be printed? Ask in the quote form and we'll answer within one business day.

Can you print a model I found online?
Only if its license allows commercial use. A lot of free models say non-commercial, which means we can't print them for you. Send the link and we'll check.
Can you print a character from a movie, show or game?
No. We don't print other people's characters or logos. We'd love to design an original one with you instead.
How big can it be?
About 10 inches in any direction in one piece. Bigger things print in sections and go together after.
What do you need from me?
Whatever you've got: a sketch, a photo, a reference, a napkin drawing. If it has to fit something, measurements help.
Can you make just one?
Yes. Custom projects start at one.
Will it hold up outside or in a hot car?
We print in PLA, which is great indoors. Heat and strong sun can soften it, so tell us where it'll live and we'll tell you straight if it's the right fit.
How much does it cost?
Every project is quoted. Tell us what you're picturing and we'll send you a number, no strings attached.

All you need is a logo and a dream.

Send your logo and a rough count. We'll reply within one business day with a quote and next steps.

  • A quote is free and doesn't commit you to anything.
  • Clickers and business cards from 25. Signs and one-offs from 1.
  • You'll approve a 3D mockup before anything prints.
