3D Printing in Nanaimo

Bring your custom part project to Industrial Plastics & Paints Nanaimo. Our 3D printing service turns digital designs into physical parts, with in-house engineering and support throughout the project.

From Digital Design to Physical Part

Start by telling us what the part needs to do. Share your design and requirements so we can discuss the work involved.

Discuss Your Design

Show us the part you want to create and explain its intended use. Include dimensions and any features that need to fit with other components.

Prepare for Printing

Your digital design provides the starting point for preparing the print. Ask our team about file requirements and the details needed to assess your project.

In-House Support

Our in-house engineering team can answer questions before, during and after the creation of your part, helping you understand the process.
