3D Printing
Professional 3D printing services for models, prototypes, and design visualization across Fargo-Moorhead and the surrounding region.
Physical models make it easier to review concepts, present ideas, and evaluate designs before moving into production or construction.
Turn Designs Into Physical Models
Some ideas are easier to understand when you can see them in real space.
3D printing allows you to move from a digital file to a physical model that can be reviewed, shared, and refined. This is especially useful for presentations, planning discussions, and early-stage design work.
We use professional-grade equipment, including the LulzBot TAZ Pro, to produce detailed and reliable models for a variety of applications.
Common Uses
3D printing can support a range of applications depending on your needs.
Architectural Scale Models
Concept Models
Prototypes
Design Visualization
Presentation Pieces
If you have a specific use in mind, we can help determine if 3D printing is the right fit.
Materials and Capabilities
We print using fused filament fabrication (FFF), which supports a range of material options depending on how the model will be used.
Available materials include:
- ABS
- PLA
- TPU
Each material offers different characteristics, from rigid structure to added flexibility.
Additional materials may also be available depending on the project and print requirements.
Print Size and Limitations
Our equipment supports builds up to:
280 mm x 280 mm x 285 mm
(11.02 in x 11.02 in x 11.22 in)
Larger models can sometimes be produced in sections and assembled, depending on the design.
Models exceeding standard build dimensions may be split into multiple parts for printing and assembly when appropriate.
Color Options
We keep a range of standard colors on hand for most projects.
If you need something specific, additional color options can be sourced to match your requirements.
Special-order filament colors are available from a wide range of options depending on the project and material selected.
From File to Finished Model
Send us your .STL file and we’ll review it to make sure it’s ready for printing.
We’ll confirm scale, material, and any adjustments needed before moving forward so the final model meets your expectations.
We also review files for printability, sizing concerns, and setup issues before production begins whenever possible.
Simple, Fast Process
Getting started is straightforward. We keep the process clear so your model moves from digital file to finished print without unnecessary delays.
1
Send Your File or Share Your Project Details
Upload your file or let us know what you’re trying to create. If you’re still planning, we can help confirm the right approach.
2
We Review and Confirm Details
We review your file, confirm materials, scale, and print settings, and make sure everything is ready before printing.
We also review models for sizing concerns, setup issues, and overall printability before production begins.

We Print and Prepare Your Model
Your model is printed and prepared for pickup or delivery so it’s ready when you need it.
Preparing Your Files
Before you upload, it helps to make sure your file is ready for printing.
- Use clean, properly scaled 3D files
- Check dimensions and proportions
- Confirm the model is finalized before submission
If you’re unsure, we can review your file and recommend any adjustments before printing.
Turnaround Times
Turnaround depends on the size, complexity, and material of the model, but most projects are completed within 1-2 days.
Smaller prints may be completed quickly, while larger or more detailed models can require additional production time depending on print duration and finishing needs.
Rush timelines may be available depending on project size, material availability, and printer scheduling.
If you’re working toward a deadline, let us know and we’ll walk through timing before getting started.
