Quick answer. 3DCentral prints for Montreal from its 3D print farm on the neighbouring island of Laval. We produce custom figurines, collectible dragons and creatures, tabletop minis and branded pieces from a photo, an STL file or a written brief, with quotes in Canadian dollars, bilingual support, and a preview you approve before a machine starts.
The farm is in Laval — there is no 3DCentral on the island of Montreal
One river separates our machines from the city, and that closeness is exactly why the distinction has to be made up front. 3DCentral holds no unit, no storefront, no service desk and no collection point in Montreal. You will not drop a USB stick at a downtown office and you will not collect a finished order from a neighbourhood on the island: everything leaves Laval by carrier, including a parcel travelling to an address twenty minutes from our printers.
What you get in exchange is a chain that lives in one building. The file is prepared, printed, inspected and packed by the same team, and the person answering your email can see the real state of your part.
Production facility: 3DCentral Solutions Inc., 1325 Rue Bergar, Laval, QC H7L 4Z7, Canada.
What the metro market asks us for
Montreal volume does not look like the rest of the province. It comes from organisations as much as individuals, and it clusters around a few uses:
- Corporate gifts and branded objects — short runs for a team, a launch, a trade show or a departure, with Canadian invoicing and purchase orders accepted.
- Agencies, studios and production — props, models, set dressing and on-camera objects, where the schedule is known in advance and an end client has to sign off on a preview.
- Tabletop and gaming communities — campaign minis, terrain, tokens and display pieces, one at a time or as a batch for a club or a shop.
- Independent retail — small restock runs for neighbourhood stores that would rather carry something made in Quebec than imported.
- Personal keepsakes — a figurine built from a photo, a pet or a character, for a birthday or a dated gift.
If you want something already designed rather than a bespoke piece, our online shop ships to the island using the same carriers.
Quantities, deadlines and events
Forty awards for a gala and one figurine for a birthday do not occupy the farm the same way. Tell us the quantity, and above all the date the object has to be in your hands — that is the only input that lets us say honestly whether your project fits the window. We would rather turn down a tight schedule than miss it. On batch work, approving one reference piece before the run starts prevents reprinting thirty units over a colour detail.
Getting from Laval to the island
Roughly thirty kilometres separate our workshop from downtown. Canadian carriers generally quote one business day on ground service within Greater Montreal. That transit time belongs to the carrier, it comes on top of production, and 3DCentral does not guarantee it. Production time itself depends on part size, unit count and finishing, and it is confirmed in writing with your quote.
Pricing, tax and customs
Quotes are calculated in Canadian dollars from part size, material, infill, finish and quantity. A delivery to Montreal is a domestic shipment: no customs duties, no brokerage fees, nothing collected at the door. Applicable Quebec sales taxes are added at checkout.
Starting a quote
Send your STL file, reference photo or written description through the print my file page. Name the borough or municipality you want it delivered to, the quantity you have in mind, and the deadline if there is one. You receive a price and a schedule before a single piece is printed.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have premises in Montreal?
No. The company’s only facility is the Laval print farm. Montreal is served by shipping, like the rest of the province.
Can I collect my order on the island?
There is no Montreal collection point. Even an address next door to our machines receives its parcel by carrier.
Do you take bulk orders for a business?
Yes. State the quantity, the deadline and the invoicing format you need in your request, and the quote will account for all three.
Can you hit an event date?
It depends on farm load and part complexity. Give us the date in your first message and we will tell you whether it is realistic instead of promising it blind.
Do I need a 3D file to order?
No. A print-ready STL moves fastest, but a photo or a written description works too; that route adds a modelling step and your approval.
Will I pay customs charges?
None. Laval to Montreal stays a domestic Canadian shipment. Only applicable sales taxes are added.
