Class Schedule
Bring your creation to life with our 3D Print Service. To get started, click the link below and login in or sign up to our instant quoter. Upload any .stl or .obj file and adjust the settings as you see fit. Choose from our range of over 60 colors and finishes. Once you’re satisfied with your order submit your file and wait for your order to be approved.
Files must be smaller than 250 L x 280 W x 300 H mm (9.8 L x 11 W x 11.8 H inch).
Get started by clicking on the “Let’s start a project” button below and give a detailed description of your project. Consider uploading a few pictures or sketches to help us better understand your idea. After we review your project, we will contact you about the logistics and possibilities of your idea. We may ask to arrange a phone or in-person meeting to further discuss your project.
If you wish to take your idea to the next level, we can create physical prototypes of your project. With our range of manufacturing equipment and materials, we can produce high-quality examples and run real-world tests on your product.
Set up a meeting with our Chief Executive Maker to discuss the possibilities and logistics of your scanning project. We can handle projects ranging from the size of a car down to a computer mouse.
Call (412) 835-MAKE or Email info@creationlabs.us to schedule a free consultation.
Using our 3D scanner, we’ll capture your 3D data and print a 3” sculpture for you to keep. The scan takes only a few minutes and then we’ll review the scan with you. Once we have the file, we’ll 3D print your bust in your choice of colors. In a few days, you can pick up your part or have it shipped to you (shipping included).
