Inside Our Quebec Print Farm: A Day in Production

What does a typical day look like at a 200+ printer 3D print farm in Quebec? From morning startup checks to evening quality control, here is a behind-the-scenes look at how we produce thousands of collectibles.

Morning: Startup and Queue Management

The day begins with checking overnight print completions. Our monitoring system flags any failed prints during the night shift. Fresh builds are loaded from the production queue, with priority given to customer orders approaching their shipping deadline.

Mid-Morning: Quality Control Run

Completed prints from overnight runs undergo our three-stage quality inspection. Visual checks, dimensional verification, and functional testing for articulated pieces. Passed items move to packaging; rejects are logged and reprinted.

Afternoon: Production Peak

By midday, all 200+ printers are running. The production floor hums with synchronized stepper motors. Technicians monitor print progress, replace empty filament spools, and address any printer issues before they affect quality.

Late Afternoon: Packaging and Shipping

Approved prints are carefully packaged with custom cushioning, sealed, and labeled. The shipping area processes 50-200+ packages daily, sorted by carrier and destination. Tracking information is uploaded to customer accounts.

Evening: Planning and Maintenance

The evening shift loads long-running prints that will complete overnight. Preventive maintenance — nozzle replacements, bed leveling, lubrication — keeps our fleet running at 95%+ uptime.
