Made in Canada Articles

Why 3D printed collectibles made in Quebec are different: local manufacturing, Canadian supply chains, and shipping that starts in Canada.

Most decorative collectibles sold online are made a long way from the person who buys them. Ours are not. These articles set out what changes when production sits in Laval, Quebec: lead times measured against a domestic courier network, prices quoted in Canadian dollars, small batches that can be reprinted on demand instead of ordered by the container, and a much shorter distance between a design decision and a finished shelf piece.

There is a wider story here too. Quebec’s additive manufacturing scene — makerspaces, independent print farms, designers — has grown quickly, and several posts look at why, and at what decentralized production does for local employment and for the carbon cost of a small object.

We sell through Amazon as well, and we are glad to; it puts our work in front of people who would never otherwise find us. These articles simply set out what buying from the workshop itself adds to that.
