3D Printing Service in Gatineau, Quebec

Quick answer. 3DCentral serves Gatineau and the Outaouais from its 3D print farm in Laval. We make personalised figurines, collectible foxes and other animals, gaming pieces and promotional items. The starting point can be an STL, a plain photograph, or a few lines of text. Prices in Canadian currency, correspondence in French or English, and a preview you sign off on before the machine starts.

There is no 3DCentral presence in the Outaouais

Before anything else: the company keeps no workshop, no office, no warehouse and no drop-off point in Gatineau, Aylmer, Hull or the surrounding municipalities. There is no local collection either. The region is served by shipping out of Laval, and that is the only way an order reaches you.

What stays true is that the piece is made in Quebec by the team answering your messages. Nothing is farmed out to an outside workshop and nothing is imported on your behalf.

One region, two provinces

That is the Outaouais quirk, and it has practical consequences. A single quote can cover an address in Gatineau and another in Ottawa: both are domestic Canadian deliveries, so neither attracts customs duties or brokerage, and neither crosses an international border. What differs from one bank of the river to the other is the applicable sales tax, which follows the delivery province and is calculated at checkout. If a shipment has to be split across both sides, say so in the initial request rather than afterwards — it plans much better from the start.

One more practical note for organisations: if the pieces are going out to members or delegates rather than to a single office, tell us at the quoting stage. Packing forty items for one reception desk and packing forty items for forty separate addresses are different jobs, and the second one is much easier to price properly before the run than after it.

Language does not change with the river. File preparation, model approval and order follow-up happen in French or in English, whichever you prefer, without a handoff to a unilingual team.

What the region asks us for

  • Association and conference gifts — short runs for a symposium, an awards night or a members’ event, with Canadian invoicing.
  • Personalised keepsakes — a figurine built from a photo, a pet or a character, usually to mark a specific occasion.
  • Tabletop and collectibles — minis, terrain and display pieces for players and clubs across the region.
  • Display stands and exhibition pieces — mounts, decorative models and booth elements for shows and fairs.
  • File preparation — fixing a model that will not print before committing anything to production.

For something already designed rather than made to order, the online shop delivers across the region using the same carriers.

The trip from Laval

Around 200 kilometres of road separate our machines from Gatineau, entirely within Canada. Carriers generally quote one to two business days on ground service along that corridor. That estimate is theirs, it stacks on top of the build time, and we do not underwrite it. How long the build itself takes depends on the part, and the quote says so plainly.

Pricing and tax

We price in Canadian dollars against the model’s dimensions, the material, the infill setting, the finishing requested and how many you need. No customs duty and no brokerage fee applies anywhere in the country; the sales taxes belonging to the delivery address are applied at the payment step.

Starting a quote

Upload the file, the image or the few lines that describe your project from the print my file page. Mention the destination city, how many pieces you want, and any date you are working towards. Price and schedule are confirmed before printing.

Frequently asked questions

Do you have an address in Gatineau?

No. Our single facility is the Laval print farm; the Outaouais is a shipping area.

Do you deliver on the Ottawa side?

Yes. An Ontario address is still a domestic Canadian delivery: no customs, no brokerage. Only the taxes applicable to the delivery province differ.

Can I come and collect my order?

There is no collection point in the region. Everything leaves Laval by carrier.

Is service available in French on both banks?

Yes, from the first message through to post-delivery follow-up, whatever the destination address.

Can I order without a 3D file?

Yes. A photo or a description is enough to start; that route adds a modelling step and your approval before printing.

Do you handle runs for an event?

Yes, provided the deadline is shared at the outset. We confirm whether it is realistic rather than promising it by default.
