Custom 3D Printing

Bespoke one-off pieces - a replacement part, a personalized gift, a one-of-a-kind display piece. Send a CAD file, sketch, or photo and we'll take it from there.

If you have a specific object in mind that doesn't exist yet, we'll print it. Custom 3D printing covers everything from a single replacement part to a personalized gift to a one-of-a-kind display piece - in PLA, PETG, ABS, or TPU, finished in our Quebec workshop.

Pricing approach

Custom orders are priced per project. Most one-offs land between $50 and $500, depending on size, material, and print time. Once a design is proofed and you want repeat copies, per-unit cost drops significantly. Quotes are free and itemized.

Frequently asked

Do I need a CAD file?

No. We can work from sketches, photos, or written descriptions through our [Design Assistance](/services/design-assistance/) service. A CAD file is fastest, but it isn't required.

How long does a custom order take?

Most one-off custom orders ship within 3-7 business days after quote approval, depending on size, material, and print orientation.

Can you match a specific color?

We work from our stocked colors by default. Custom color matching is possible but adds cost and a few days for filament sourcing - let us know in your inquiry.

Do you ship internationally?

Canada and the United States are standard. Other destinations by request - quoted case-by-case.

How big can you print?

Up to 250 × 250 × 250 mm in a single piece. Larger items we print in sections and assemble.
