Ever wonder what happens after you click “buy” on a 3D printed collectible? Here is the complete journey of your order from our Quebec print farm to your doorstep.
Order Receipt and Queue
When you place an order, it enters our production management system within minutes. Orders are batched by material color and model type for efficient printer allocation. Your order is assigned to specific machines based on current availability.
Printing
Your figurine is printed on one of our 200+ calibrated printers. Print time ranges from 1-12 hours depending on size and detail level. Each printer is monitored for quality throughout the run. Temperature, speed, and material flow are tracked continuously.
Quality Control
Every finished print undergoes three-stage inspection. First, visual check for surface defects. Second, dimensional verification against design specifications. Third, functional testing for articulated pieces. Prints that do not meet our standards are recycled.
Post-Processing and Packaging
Approved prints have support material removed, edges cleaned, and are carefully packaged in custom-fit protective packaging. Tissue paper cushioning and right-sized boxes prevent damage during shipping.
Shipping from Quebec
Packages ship from our Quebec facility via Canada Post or courier. Tracking information is sent to your email within hours of shipment. Canadian orders typically arrive in 2-5 business days, US orders in 5-10 days.
