SketchUp in your hands- A 3D Printing service you can use!

You design it, send it, we 3D print it!

Google SketchUp is being used for all facets of design, from inventors designing their next big hit, to furniture designers designing where you’ll sit!

We are now offering SketchUp 3D prints from almost any SketchUp design.

3D Warehouse
Have you found something you like on Google’s 3D Warehouse and want to place it in your hand?  Send us its link or send us the SketchUp file and we’ll be glad to 3D print it for you.

Inventors / Product Developers
Have you come up a great invention in SketchUp and want to get your first prototype so you can get on your way to making millions?  Send us your SketchUp model and we’ll 3D print it.  We don’t just leave you hanging either.  Since we work with many different manufactures we’ll put you in contact with someone who can help take your prototype into full production.

And if you’re worried we’ll steal your idea, we’d be glad to sign your ND (non-disclosure agreement) or you can download one Legalzoom.com which is a standard practice in any type of confidential environment.

Buildings
Whether you’re an architect, marketing firm, engineer, builder, home-owner, or just darn curious and you have a building or group of buildings you’ve designed in SketchUp send it our way and we’ll 3D print it.  And who said Christmas doesn’t come early!

Monuments
Why not put the Statue of Liberty in the palm of your hand?  Take any 3D model from 3D Warehouse or your own design of any monument, send it to us and we’ll 3D print it.

Dream Big…..
It really doesn’t matter what your 3D world is, chances are we can 3D print it.  So, go ahead and dream big because your only limit is your imagination.

Our 3D printing software is very resilient on the completeness of SketchUp models, but, there are a few things that may help reduce the price of a 3D print from SketchUp and we are working diligently on putting together a Google SketchUp to 3D print design guide. In the meantime, when you’re modeling for 3D print, remember it is very similar to building anything by hand.

Here are a few pointers you may want to follow.

-Try to make all your surfaces come together. Ie. If you’re designing a box make sure all the sides touch
- Items without thickness will not 3D print. Ie. If you design a wall and the wall is made up of only one surface it won’t print, instead push the wall in or out to give it about the thickness of a real wall.

Feel free to send us an SketchUp file and we’ll gladly send you a quote or follow us on Twitter for the latest on 3D printing!

   Our build chamber is 8″ x 10″ x 8″ vertical. But, by creating interlocks we can do multiple piece builds with no problems.
