As we are in the 3D Printing business, it's common for us to be asked by new customers to sign an NDA prior to sending their CAD files. Having worked with 3D Prototype Design now in my 17th year I've personally viewed multiple NDA's, have experienced and found a few common mistakes I [...]
You may have noticed the Zelda pump (3d printed by us with SLS and nylon) on our home page, but I thought I'd bring light to it again as recently our customer let us know that with their last round of testing the pump ran for 2-1/2 days, pumping 2.3 million gallons of water! That's [...]

The other day a colleague of mine came into the office talking about a Doctor he saw on a morning TV show singing the praises of creating 3d printed medical devices and products that could in future be made in space (or possibly on Mars) which got us once again on a rant. While 3d [...]
Let me start off with Happy New Year wishes to all! 2017 actually marks our 21st year offering 3d printing services in Canada! Back in the day, we started with one FDM 3d printer (the extruding kind) using primarily ABS and had to inform potential customers why and how rapid prototyping could benefit there development [...]
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND: the article below we wrote to illustrate 3D printing possibilities and because it's just fun. We do not and cannot make or sell this item. Sorry, we also do not know of anyone who does or could help you. How it would start In order to make this item for [...]
