3D PRINTING SERVICES
Longest running 3d printing Service facility in Canada

At 3D Prototype Design Inc. we know a thing or two about providing expert 3D printing services. As a result, we off guidance and prototypes that customers can really count on. When we first opened our doors in 1996, none of our original customers even knew what 3D printing was or how valuable it would become as a part of their product development process.

The 3d printing experts

Even today many people are just now learning 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. Such as how 3D printing actually works, introducing them to new technologies and what can be expected in exchange for their prototyping dollars.

Originally making 3D printing history, we purchased and operated in-house the first FDM machine sold in Canada. As our business and reputation grew, we added other forms of technology including several Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) machines. In addition, other 3D printing technology in order to offer our customers an even wider variety of materials and options.

Our HISTORY
Producting rapid Prototypes

Over the years we have built a strong reputation for not only supplying prototypes quickly, but also for providing functional short-run production-quality nylon parts.

Located one hour west of Toronto, our plant in New Hamburg, Ontario, Canada operates 3D printing technology in-house. This allows us to ensure your projects are on time while meeting our high standards and staying within our control. In other words, we are real people ready to answer your questions. We will provide you with exceptional customer service and are accountable for every project that leaves our shop. As a customer of 3D Prototype Design it’s important to know that EVERY project matters. We want to win you over with our consistent 3D printing services and keep you as a long time customer.

We welcome the opportunity to earn your business and look forward to becoming the 3D printing supplier you count on for all your prototyping requirements, materials and needs.

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.

We’ve built parts for as low as $3 per piece and up, when building multiples. However, each case is unique and dependent on several factors such as: size, area, volume, material used, time to build, commitment to area taken up, labor and what else we can build with it. Our minimum charge is $100.
We don’t like to ballpark pricing unless it’s coming from an existing customer. A guess can sometimes be made, however, you will need a CAD file to move forward and it’s very likely the cost of hiring someone to do the drawing may very well be more than your prototype. Asking how much something the size of a mug or computer mouse will cost rarely offers any value. Start by looking at the cost to get your CAD drawing first to see if that’s cost prohibitive for you.
Hire a mechanical engineer or mechanical designer as they can create 3D CAD drawings. In addition, their education and experience will be valuable later should you manufacture your parts.

We sure can. Whether is a scaled down model for a trade show or for a sales meeting, our 3d printed models can’t be beat! There are some very important things you should quick read first though to better understand what you need to know about 3d printing and your scaled down model.
