3D printing prototyping — from idea to working part
We print your prototype in days, not weeks. Test, fix and iterate until the design fits — then go straight to a small production batch.
Why 3D print a prototype?
Speed
From CAD file to physical part in 1–3 days. Instead of waiting for tooling or CNC slots, you test the idea this week.
Low-volume economics
From one to a hundred pieces, 3D printing beats injection moulding by a wide margin — there are no tooling costs. Minimum order €10.
Iteration
Every revision is just another print. Change the model, reprint, and compare in your hands — not on a screen.
How it works
Send the model
STL, STEP, OBJ or 3MF. No model? Our designers model from an idea or sketch (€43/h).
Price instantly or in 24 h
FDM prints are priced instantly by the calculator. Special jobs and SLA are quoted by hand within 24 hours.
Printed in 1–3 days
The print farm runs every day — most prototypes are ready within a couple of days.
Test and iterate
If something needs changing, we update the model and print the next version.
Which material for a prototype?
📦 From prototype to small batch
Once the design is final, we print a small production run from the same files — from tens of pieces to hundreds. Setup is per order, not per piece, so the unit price drops with quantity. Up to the point where injection moulding pays off, 3D printing is usually the fastest and cheapest route to a small batch — no tooling costs, and the design can still change between batches.
Our equipment
Bambu Lab and Creality FDM printers plus an SLA resin setup in Tartu, Estonia — parts up to 400 mm, 30+ materials and 100+ colours. Delivery in 3–7 business days across Estonia, Finland and the Baltics.
Frequently asked questions
How fast will my prototype be ready?
Most FDM prototypes are ready in 1–3 business days; you get the price instantly from the calculator or within 24 hours for manual quotes. On a tight deadline, write to us — we can often move a job up the queue.
I have no CAD model — can you help?
Yes. Our 3D design service (€43/h) models the part from a drawing, sketch, photo or an existing object, and you also get the print-ready files.
How much does a prototype cost?
Minimum order is €10. A typical palm-sized PLA prototype stays near the minimum; price grows with volume, material and detail. The calculator shows the exact price instantly.
