How Our On-Demand 3D Printing Works

Our upcoming on-demand 3D printing service simplifies custom printing for everyone. Upload your file, choose your options, get an instant quote, and we handle the rest from our Quebec print farm.

Step 1: Upload Your File

Submit your STL, OBJ, or 3MF file through our secure upload portal. Our system automatically validates the geometry, checks for printability issues, and calculates the volume for pricing. Maximum file size: 200MB.

Step 2: Choose Your Options

Select material (PLA or PETG at launch), color from our available palette, infill percentage (affects strength and cost), and layer height (affects detail and cost). A 3D preview shows your model as you adjust settings.

Step 3: Instant Quote

Our pricing engine calculates your cost in real-time based on material volume, selected options, and quantity. Volume discounts kick in at 10+ units. Rush delivery adds a surcharge for priority scheduling.

Step 4: Production and Shipping

Approved orders enter our production queue at the Quebec print farm. Each print undergoes our standard three-stage quality control. Tracking information is provided once your order ships.

Coming Mid-2025

The on-demand service is currently in development. Sign up for our waitlist to be notified when beta access opens. Early adopters will receive special introductory pricing.
