About 3D Prototype Design Inc.
3D printing experts
you can count on
As the first 3D printing service provider in Canada, 3D Prototype Design Inc. is still your trusted source for 3D printing needs. Located in New Hamburg Ontario (10 min from Kitchener/Stratford, 1 hr from Toronto).
Servicing a wide range of industries since 1996, we’ve provided 3D printed parts to designers, engineers, product development teams and inventors. Each piece that leaves our door has our hallmark benefits of reliability, durability and functionality.
Over the years customers have counted on us not only to supply 3d printed parts quickly, but also for providing functional short-run production-quality nylon parts, durable rubber-like components and coloured pieces.
Part of Your Design Team
We’ve built a strong reputation of offering the ultimate quality, customer service and support for 3D printing projects big and small. 3D Prototype Design customers know their projects are valued by our attention to detail, willingness to go the extra mile and availability to support their 3d printing questions and needs quickly.
Even today many people are just now learning more about 3D printing and what it can do! As leaders in the industry, we take great pride in the services we offer by way of informing and educating our customers as to how 3D printing actually works, introducing them to new technologies and what they can expect in exchange for their prototyping dollars.
How we became
The first prototype manufacturer in canada
Before the magic of 3D printing, our grandfather company, HD Patterns and Matchplates Inc. (a well-respected foundry established in 1971), created and carved patterns, matchplates, molds and prototypes by hand. Not only did it require the skills of master craftsmen, it was also incredibly labor intensive with no room for human error.
HD Patterns researched the revolutionary new technology called rapid prototyping in the mid 90’s, established 3D Prototype Design Inc. and made prototype manufacturer history by purchasing the first FDM machine sold in Canada. Although the original intent for the first machine was to sell services to create foundry patterns, it quickly became apparent that the real industry need was instead to help customers create fast and accurate prototypes and final parts instantly.
As 3D Prototype’s customer base grew and technology improved, we stepped up our prototype manufacturing services by investing in Selective Laser Sintering which, still to this day, allows for higher quality final parts and volumes. We now have several sintering stations on-site, as well as other 3D printing technology, material options and colours to round out the mix. In fact, our head technician not only maintains our fleet but has also added modifications and improved to produce superior parts.

support you need.
What do I need to make a 3D printed part?
In order to quote or make a 3D printed part, you need to have a 3D CAD file drawing created. We do not offer drawing or scanning services. If you don’t have a CAD drawing of your part you should find a mechanical engineer/design to draw your part. See what is 3d printing.
